Show off a beautifully lifted, heart-shaped pout with refined definition and balanced volume. Russian lips offer a plush, elegant look that enhances your natural features and delivers a striking, sophisticated finish that turns heads.
At Aesthetics by Vivi, we offer the Russian Lip technique—a refined approach to lip enhancement that lifts and defines the lips with a tall, heart-shaped appearance. Popularized in Eastern European beauty trends, Russian Lips are often associated with the elegant, doll-like shape seen in traditional Russian nesting dolls—characterized by a pronounced Cupid’s bow, vertical height, and minimal forward projection.Unlike traditional lip filler, which focuses on adding volume evenly across the lips, the Russian technique uses precise, vertical injections to build height in the center of the lips while keeping the sides tapered and flat. The result is a lifted, symmetrical pout with enhanced definition and a soft upward curve—ideal for clients seeking shape, structure, and balance rather than fullness alone. This non-surgical treatment offers immediate results with minimal downtime, making it a popular choice for those wanting a more sculpted and lifted look.
Every Russian Lip treatment begins with a thoughtful, one-on-one consultation. Nurse Vivi will evaluate your natural lip anatomy, discuss your desired results, and determine whether the Russian Lip technique is the right approach for your features and goals. Not every lip shape is suited for this sculpted style, and Nurse Vivi will guide you honestly—ensuring your treatment plan enhances your facial balance while delivering results that feel authentic, beautiful, and uniquely you.
The Russian Lip technique uses vertical injections to build height in the center of the lips, lifting the Cupid’s bow and tapering the sides. This approach creates a flat side profile and a more sculpted, doll-like pout without excessive volume. The technique is especially suited for clients seeking a refined, lifted shape rather than fullness alone.
Russian Lip filler results are visible immediately, with optimal shape and refinement settling in after about 5–10 days. Depending on your metabolism and lifestyle, results typically last 6 to 12 months. Many clients find that consistent maintenance helps their lips retain shape longer over time. Nurse Vivi will help you build a treatment schedule that supports long-lasting, sculpted results without overfilling.
At Aesthetics by Vivi, your safety is always our top priority. We use only FDA-approved, medical-grade hyaluronic acid fillers, sourced directly from licensed distributors. Every product used in the Russian Lip technique is selected for its performance, flexibility, and ability to integrate smoothly with your natural lip tissue.
The Russian Lip technique is designed for clients who want more than just volume—it’s about shape, structure, and precision. Russian Lip treatments are ideal for those seeking:

Yes! Russian Lips are a great option for first-time clients seeking a more sculpted shape without overly full results. The technique delivers a natural, elegant look while maintaining balance and softness.
Not necessarily. The goal isn’t to add excessive volume but to create shape and structure. You’ll see a more lifted, defined appearance—especially in the center—without unwanted puffiness or outward projection. The result is a refined, doll-like pout.
Not necessarily, but because it involves more precise and superficial injections, you may feel more sensitivity during the procedure. A strong topical numbing agent is used to keep you comfortable.
Yes—when performed by an experienced injector. The Russian technique enhances the lips with structure and lift, not excessive volume, resulting in a soft, elegant, and naturally sculpted look.
Most clients need 1 syringe for optimal results, but this can vary depending on your natural lip shape and your desired outcome. In some cases, building the look gradually over multiple sessions yields the best results.
Yes, but depending on the placement and density of your previous filler, it may be recommended to dissolve the existing product first. This helps achieve a clean, lifted result with the Russian technique.
