Russian Lip Filler: Utilizes a vertical injection technique, starting at the base of the lip and moving outward towards the lip border. Traditional Lip Fillers: Typically employ a horizontal injection technique, starting from the lip border and working inward.
The Russian technique is suitable for those who want a more defined lip shape, while traditional fillers are better for those who want to add volume to their lips.
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.
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.
It's likely that, like Khloe Kardashian, she had Juvéderm and Restylane temporary fillers. At that time, we were mostly seeing women in their late 20s and early 30s getting fillers, but the star's new lips prompted a wave of younger teens to seek the treatment.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Bow-shaped lips are generally fuller in the middle than they are at the sides and are coveted for their defined-looking Cupid's bow. Darlings, bow-shaped lips are one of the rarest lip shapes you can have!
Researchers found that the most attractive lip shape has a lot more to do with symmetry than a specific size or shape, and that lips with a 1:2 ratio of upper to lower lip are the most attractive. A heavily defined cupid's bow is the most-requested lip shape in the Vancouver laser experience.
Thin lips have a delicate, elegant beauty. They're often associated with grace and refinement. Fun fact: Thin lips can make you look younger, as they're less prone to wrinkles.
Lip Color:
The color of our lips can show how we feel, and red lips are often linked to looking healthy and attractive. People are highly attracted to pink and red lips because they promote the health and beauty of an individual's face.
The results of this study also showed that thicker lips had significantly higher attractiveness scores than thinner lips and agree with the current literature (Table 4)3,5,7,33. It is known that thinner lips are a characteristic of older people.
Women with a 0.7 WHR (waist circumference that is 70% of the hip circumference) are rated more attractive by men in various cultures. Such diverse beauty icons as Marilyn Monroe, Sophia Loren and the Venus de Milo have ratios around 0.7; this is a typical ratio in Western art.
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.
While Russian lip fillers offer natural-looking fullness and a subtle lift, traditional lip fillers provide versatility in achieving different lip shapes. Each method has pros and cons, from the potential for migration with Russian lip fillers to the risk of an overfilled look with traditional lip fillers.
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.
