Infection: Although rare, infection can occur at the injection site. It is essential to follow post-procedure care instructions to minimize the risk of infection. Allergic Reaction: Some people may experience an allergic reaction to the filler used in the Russian lip technique.
Yes, the Russian lip injection technique has the same safety profile as other lip enhancement with hyaluronic acid-based filler. Common side effects from filler are swelling and bruising; serious side effects are very rare, but can be dangerous and are more likely to occur in the hands of an unqualified provider.
A: Russian lip fillers are known for providing a natural-looking fullness and subtle lift, while traditional lip fillers offer versatility in achieving different lip shapes. Russian lip fillers also focus on enhancing the cupid's bow to give it a plump appearance.
There is in fact more chance of the filler moving outside of the lip with the Russian Lips technique. This again is due to the vertical placement of the filler, vs horizontal.
The most serious risk associated with dermal fillers is accidental injection into a blood vessel. Filler that enters a blood vessel can cause skin necrosis (death of tissue), stroke, or blindness.
Embolism. Although less common, there's a risk that the facial filler material might enter the bloodstream and travel to vital organs such as the brain, heart, or lungs. In these locations, it can cause an embolism—a blockage that may trigger life-threatening conditions like a stroke or heart attack.
After receiving Russian lip treatment, you can reasonably expect the results to last around 12 months. However, if you are wishing to maintain the best results, we would recommend receiving top-up treatments every six months. This will ensure that lips will continue to look firm and contoured.
It is a technique that aims to add height to the lips with minimal frontal projection and tends to be favoured by younger women. However, patients must understand that the Russian lips will not suit everyone. This is because everyone's anatomy (the shape of the lips and underlying definition) is different.
The hyaluronic acid-based lip fillers, such as Juvederm and Restylane, are designed to be less likely to migrate compared to other types of fillers. This is because hyaluronic acid is a natural component of the skin and body, which means it integrates well with the existing tissue and does not move as much.
African and Asian descents often have fuller lips, while Caucasian lips tend to be thinner with a pronounced Cupid's bow. Recognizing these differences is vital in lip reduction surgery. A one-size-fits-all approach can lead to unnatural outcomes, disregarding the unique beauty inherent in each ethnicity.
The average cost of Russian lip fillers falls somewhere between $700 to $1500 per treatment session. Since Russian lip fillers require a more precise application, some patients are required to spend a little bit more for this treatment than traditional lip fillers.
It appears that symmetry is key to a conventionally attractive lip shape, with a survey of more than 1,000 people from 35 countries showing that a strong but mirrored plumpness in the lip was considered the most attractive.
Do Russian lips stay flat? In our technique in injecting russian lip fillers, we minimize lip projection, and try to keep them as flat as possible while increasing volume.
Swelling and bruising are normal and typically require no special treatment, subsiding on their own as your body adjusts to the fillers. The swelling occurs due to a combination of factors, including the mechanical trauma from the needle, the volume of the filler injected, and your body's immune reaction.
Technique and Procedure
The Butterfly Lip Filler technique involves injecting dermal fillers strategically to accentuate the cupid's bow and create a gentle curve on the upper lip while enhancing the volume and shape of the lower lip.
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.
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. However, the 1:2 ratio would apply to someone with a defined cupid's bow and fuller bottom lip.
Whilst most clients have shared that the treatment does not hurt any more than the classic lip, the Russian technique does risk significantly more bruising and swelling. Results should settle fully after 2 weeks and both techniques share the same longevity.
Russian lips have become an increasingly popular lift treatment because of its natural-looking result and beauty. Unlike other enhancement lips technique, the lip augmentation is designed to create a more defined and lifted appearance, rather than just adding volume.
If you stuff the lips with too much lip filler, too quickly, the border may tear and allow the lip filler to migrate behind the border, causing the dreaded, Duck lips. Unfortunately the Russian lip filler technique is notorious for looking great immediately after and causing migration after settling.
Thanks to the continual advancement in cosmetic technology, however, you may no longer have to go under the knife to achieve a fuller, more lifted look that lasts and looks natural. Lasting 5 years or longer, Bellafill is the first FDA approved dermal filler considered permanent.
Unfortunately, in some cases—particularly when you put your lips in inexperienced and unqualified hands—lip fillers can go wrong and achieve less-than-stellar results. If you're having regrets over a procedure that left you with a kooky kisser, you have options.
In very rare cases, the filler may accidentally be injected into your blood vessels instead of under your skin. This can block blood flow.
