What is the Russian Lip Technique?

The name Russian Lips originated from the style of lips that are often seen on Russian stacking dolls, known as matryoshka or babushka. With this style of lips, the cupid’s bow is often emphasised to create a heart-shaped look. This provides a doll-like effect to the lip’s plumpness but still maintains a natural feel and look.

The Russian Lip technique works to gently define and enhance the lips, all without creating excessive projection or an unnatural appearance. This means not just focusing on the cupid’s bow, but also creating a defined appearance of the lip border in targeted areas.

During your personalised consultation at Contour Clinics, our experienced cosmetic doctors discuss how this technique may align with your specific lip enhancement goals. With our many years of experience, we strive to ensure results appear balanced and harmonious with your facial features.

Who is a Suitable Candidate for the Russian Lip Technique?

It’s best to discuss with your cosmetic doctor whether you’re suitable for Russian lips treatment. However, you may be interested in the procedure if you:

  • Have thin lips
  • Are interested in creating more symmetry in your lip shape
  • Want more height rather than width for your lips
  • Prefer to avoid excessive fullness in the lips
  • Don’t have existing lip enhancements
  • Have good skin elasticity

Benefits of the Russian Lip Technique

If you’re interested in defining and lifting your lip body, a Russian lip enhancement may be a cosmetic procedure for you.

Unlike a traditional lip technique, this method takes a more subtle approach that avoids overfilling the lip’s volume. Because of this, benefits you may enjoy include:

  • A more defined and structured lip shape according to your enhancement goals
  • Customisable approaches designed for your specific lip anatomy
  • The addition of natural-looking volume alongside a subtle lift to the upper lip shape, creating a heart-shaped effect
  • Avoiding an overfilled look
  • Being a good introductory lip enhancement for first timers, due to the subtle results
