The “Russian Lips” technique has become extremely popular in recent years. Inspired by the aesthetics of “Russian dolls”, this method of hyaluronic acid injection into the lips creates a heart-shaped mouth.
The “Russian Lips” approach focuses on lifting the lips rather than increasing volume. To achieve this result, small doses of hyaluronic acid are injected vertically, starting from the base of the lip toward the outside.
This method preserves the natural contours of the lips and accentuates the Cupid’s bow. The result is a very flat lip without a “duck mouth” effect.
It stands out for its ability to :
• Create a perfectly defined Cupid’s bow.
• Provide a lifted and natural effect to the lips, with volume distributed in a subtle manner.
• Respect the overall balance and harmony of the face.
This method takes its name from Russian aesthetic standards, which favor defined and slightly full lips without excess.
The art of enhancing the lips has undergone a spectacular transformation with the emergence of innovative techniques. Among them, the “Russian Lips” method stands out as an essential reference. Inspired by the precision and aesthetics of Russian standards, this technique offers results that are both natural, sophisticated, and
perfectly in harmony with the facial features. “Russian Lips” is far more than a simple hyaluronic acid injection technique for the lips. This method creates elegant lips, naturally plump and perfectly adapted to each patient’s face.
The secret of “Russian Lips” lies in the meticulous injection technique. Unlike classic methods where the product is injected uniformly to increase volume, the “Russian Lips” method is based on a precise vertical approach.
The steps of the technique are :
• Vertical layer injection : hyaluronic acid is injected vertically, starting from the inside toward the outside of the lips.
• Enhancement of the Cupid’s bow : this technique focuses on the central part of the lips in order to reinforce their definition and create a naturally elegant appearance.
• Homogeneous distribution : volume is added progressively, while respecting symmetry and the natural anatomy of the lips.
• Lifted effect : rather than simply adding volume, the method lifts the lips, giving them a fresh and rejuvenated appearance.
This precision guarantees a natural and sophisticated result, without the “overfilled” or artificial effect often feared by patients.
The reasons for choosing “Russian Lips” are numerous, both for its aesthetic result and for its ability to meet specific expectations.
The advantages are :
• A natural and refined result : the technique enhances the lips without a ‘duck mouth’ effect.
• Enhancement of facial proportions : the technique respects the overall harmony of the features, guaranteeing a subtle yet visible result.
• Complete personalization : the technique is adapted to the needs and the unique morphology of the patient.
• A solution for all lip morphologies, whether thin lips or already full lips.
By opting for this technique, the patient chooses a modern and elegant approach, ideal for enhancing the lips while remaining faithful to their natural beauty.
This technique is indicated for :
• Rehydrating the lips : over time, the lips may lose their natural hydration and become dry. Hyaluronic acid, by attracting and retaining water, allows deep rehydration of the lips, restoring suppleness and softness.
• Redefining the lip contours : lip contours play a key role in facial harmony. “Russian Lips” makes it possible to redefine the contours and the Cupid’s bow, which can fade with age or due to natural asymmetries. Thanks to targeted injections, this technique creates clean and elegant lines along the lip border.
• Subtly plumping the lips : for patients who desire slightly fuller lips without an artificial effect, the “Russian Lips” technique is ideal. It allows the lips to be plumped in a natural way, improving their height and projection while maintaining a natural shape.
• Refreshing the lips : over the years, the lips may lose firmness and develop fine lines. The “Russian Lips” technique helps restore youthfulness and vitality by gently lifting and smoothing the area. The face thus regains a fresher, brighter, and more dynamic appearance.
During the preliminary consultation, Doctor Romano analyzes the patients’ expectations, the natural shape of the lips, and the harmony of the face.
The injection session lasts about five minutes. After cleaning and disinfecting the lips, Doctor Romano proceeds with the injections.
Using a fine needle, hyaluronic acid is injected according to the vertical technique characteristic of “Russian Lips”.
This technique is slightly more painful than classic methods.
For sensitive patients, an anesthetic cream is applied half an hour before the procedure. The treatment is quick and mildly uncomfortable.
At the end of the session, Doctor Romano performs a massage to distribute the product evenly.
The “Russian Lips” technique is suitable for almost all lip morphologies. However, for very thin or poorly defined lips, several sessions (up to three) may be necessary to achieve the desired result.
This method is particularly recommended in the following cases :
• Patients with thin lips.
• Patients with asymmetrical lips.
• Patients seeking a lifted effect.
• Patients desiring a natural result. However, any lip injection, regardless of the technique, provides a natural result when performed by an experienced physician.
This technique cannot be performed in patients who have contraindications to hyaluronic acid injections.
The “Russian Lips” stands out for its specific approach, which guarantees a natural and harmonious result.
The distinctive points are :
• Focus on the Cupid’s bow : unlike classic techniques, the emphasis is placed on the definition of the central part of the lips. The lips will have a heart shape.
• Lifted effect rather than volumizing : the goal is not to increase lip volume, but to structure and “lift” them. The lips will be very flat.
• Adaptation to each patient.
In Geneva, the price for lip augmentation using the Russian Lips technique is set at 650 CHF per syringe. This price reflects the particular technicality of this method, which aims for a result focused on verticality and definition, without excess volume. The cost remains stable, whether for a first injection or maintenance injections every 10 months, provided that a single syringe is used. This single pricing allows patients to plan their aesthetic budget precisely, while accessing a refined technique that has become a reference in the field of lip injections in Geneva.
Several clinics and physicians in Geneva offer the “Russian Lips” technique. It is recommended to consult a trained and experienced physician to obtain harmonious results adapted to your morphology.
The results of hyaluronic acid injections using the “Russian Lips” technique generally last between 6 and 12 months. This duration varies depending on each patient’s metabolism, the type of product used, and regular maintenance of the injection.
The “Russian Lips” technique can cause mild to moderate discomfort. To improve comfort, an anesthetic cream is often applied before the procedure. After the injection, swelling or bruising may appear, but they usually disappear within a few days.
