Are results from Russian Lips treatments permanent? No, results from Russian Lips treatments are not permanent. Procedures use special hyaluronic acid filler to reshape the lips and achieve your desired outcome. Over time, the filler is naturally absorbed by your body and the effect is gradually lost.
Your provider will also be able to relay an accurate timeline for the lifespan of your Russian lips, but generally your Russian lip fillers will last as long as standard lip fillers do, being anywhere from six to twelve months.
The most dangerous aspect of this technique is the greatly increased risk of vascular occlusion, due to the anatomy of the lip and the angle of the needles. A vascular occlusion is when blood is no longer able to pass through a blood vessel because it is blocked with filler.
Russian lips vs normal filler – What is the difference? The main difference between clasic lip fillers and Russian lip fillers is that the Russian lips emphasis the upper lip. Also, this beautiful lips enhance the cupid's bow eminence, that proeminence that can be really attractive.
There may be a slightly longer downtime than your usual lip fillers, due to the swelling that follows the procedure and in some cases, bruising can be more substantial. This is nothing to worry about and will settle without any concerns.
Russian Lips derive from the 'Russian Doll', where they form a heart shape in the centre with a flatter, higher appearance. However this look isn't for everyone, and although this technique does avoid filler migration, it doesn't necessarily look more natural than the more common lip filler technique.
Many users of the Russian lips trend have it as they think it avoids any filler migration (filler sitting outside of the lips). However, this is simply not the case. There is always some risk of filler migration with any lip filler treatment.
Will my lips look saggy or stretched out after injections wear off? Nope! You don't need to worry about dealing with a “deflated” look as the hyaluronic acid fades. The skin on your mouth and lips will return to their normal appearance without any sagging or stretching.
In addition, Voluma is a solid filler which gives it the advantage of not migrating to the surrounding tissues. For patients who want more dramatic changes, Voluma allows for more product to be placed with less risk of displacement.
Science has found that the most attractive lip shape has an upper-to-lower lip ratio of 1:2. Lips are most desirable in different shapes and forms for different people – 60% of people prefer a 1:1 ratio where the lips are completely symmetrical and evenly full.
The study polled over 1,000 people in 35 countries. Of those polled, 60% said they found a symmetrical, 1:1 top to bottom ratio the most attractive lip (think Scarlett Johansson). The next highest-rated, according to the poll, was a larger bottom lip compared to the top lip (like those rocked by Kylie Jenner).
Cupid. Cupid is the rarest of all lip forms. Cupid has a powerful, youthful appearance, and is very prominent in pre-adolescent females. Due to the natural growth process in a female's lips, the fullness of the lips fill in the middle first, then the sides.
1ml is a relatively small volume of filler, and it will typically produce results that last for six months.
The Russian Lip technique is solely used to add height to the lips, lifting them vertically. This technique is suited to someone who has a longer philtrum (distance between the nose and top lip) and for those who have a very thin top lip.
As there are several injection points with the Russian lip technique, you may find that you have slightly more initial swelling and some bruising after this procedure. This treatment may cause more discomfort than a normal lip filler treatment due to the multiple injection points your injector needs to use.
Russian lip fillers focus on lifting the lip instead of adding loads of volume, so it's perfect for any face shape. There's also no need to worry about migrating filler or 'trout pout' with this treatment as it makes lips flatter rather than plumper because height is the main goal.
The costs for lip enhancement treatments like Russian Lip Filler are based on how much filler is used. The price is $650 per ml with most patients requiring only 1ml.
One of the reasons Hyaluronic acid lip injections are the most popular is because they are the most natural looking lip fillers.
The Russian lips technique requires a higher number of injections, and this itself can cause more trauma to the lip tissue, resulting in swelling and bruising, which are more noticeable.
Is the Russian Lip Filler technique painful? Absolutely not. Because the fillers are injected in the base of your lips rather than the border, it's more of a tingling sensation than pain.
How much does the Russian Lip cost? Russian lips cost the same as traditional lip filler and depends on how much much filler is used.
Because your lips will retain their natural texture and softness a few days after injected, your fillers cannot be felt by you or your partner when kissing!
Most patients need one syringe for both lips. In some patients, half a syringe will be sufficient to achieve the desired result.
The Difference
Unlike traditional lip filler, an injector using the Russian Lip technique injects the product vertically starting at the base of the lip and drawing the product outward toward the lip border. Rather than starting from the lip border and working inward, the injector works the product from the inside out.
An injection technique that uses fewer incisions, therefore creating fewer "holes" in the "hose," will be less likely to result in migration, says Dr. Durairaj. Creating fewer punctures on the border of the lip is always the cleanest and best technique, she adds.
