RUSSIAN LIPS GENEVA : PLUMPED LIPS WITH INJECTIONS

What is the Russian lips ?

The “Russian Lips” technique has become extremely popular in recent years. Inspired by the aesthetics of “Russian dolls”, this method of injecting hyaluronic acid 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, microdoses of hyaluronic acid are injected vertically, starting from the base of the lip outward. This method allows the natural lip contours to be preserved while enhancing the Cupid’s bow. The result is a very flat lip, avoiding the “duck lips” 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 subtly distributed volume.
• Respect the overall balance and harmony of the face. This method takes its name from Russian aesthetic standards, which favor defined and slightly plump lips, without excess.

How does the "Russian Lips" method work ?

The secret behind “Russian Lips” lies in its meticulous injection technique. Unlike classic methods where the product is injected evenly to increase volume, the “Russian Lips” technique uses a precise vertical approach.
The steps of the technique are :
• Vertical layer injection : hyaluronic acid is injected vertically from the inside to the outside of the lips.
• Shaping the Cupid’s bow : emphasis is placed on the central part of the lips to obtain a natural and elegant definition.
• Even distribution : volume is added gradually, respecting the lips’ natural symmetry and anatomy.
• Lifting 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” look often feared by patients.

Why choose the "Russian Lips" method ?

There are many reasons to choose “Russian Lips”, both for its aesthetic outcome and its ability to meet specific expectations.
The advantages include :
• A natural and refined result : the technique enhances the lips without the “duck lips” effect.
• Enhancement of facial proportions : the technique respects overall facial harmony, delivering a subtle yet visible result.
• Fully personalized : the technique is tailored to the unique needs and morphology of the patient.
• A solution for all lip types, whether thin or already full.
By choosing this technique, the patient opts for a modern and elegant approach, ideal for enhancing the lips while remaining true to their natural beauty.

Indications for Russian lips

This technique is particularly sought after for :
• Rehydrating the lips : over time, lips can lose their natural hydration and become dry. Hyaluronic acid, by attracting and retaining water, deeply rehydrates the lips, restoring softness and suppleness.
• Redefining the lip contours : lip contours play a key role in facial harmony. “Russian Lips” helps redefine the contours and Cupid’s bow, which fade with age or due to natural asymmetry. With targeted injections, this technique draws clean and elegant lines along the lip borders.
• Subtly plumping the lips : for patients who want slightly more volume without an artificial effect, the “Russian Lips” technique is ideal. It enhances the height and projection while keeping a natural shape.
• Refreshing the lips : over the years, lips can lose firmness and show fine lines. The “Russian Lips” method rejuvenates the lips by lifting and smoothing them. The face then appears fresher and more dynamic.
