Russian Lips

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.

Russian Lips for Height, Definition & a Heart-Shaped Finish

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.

How it Works

Personalized Consultation

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 Injection Technique

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.

Results That Last

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.

Certified Product Safety

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.

Treatment Goals

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:

  • A heart-shaped lip with volume focused at the center
  • A lifted appearance without heavy projection
  • A flatter lip profile that appears taller rather than plumper
  • Enhanced Cupid’s bow definition
  • Soft, natural-looking edges with clean, sculpted borders
  • A refined shape that maintains facial balance and harmony
  • A subtle, doll-like pout for a youthful and elegant look
  • A first-time filler experience with controlled, natural results

Because the Russian Lip technique requires meticulous control and an artistic eye, it’s essential to choose a skilled, experienced injector.

Simply put, Vivi is an angel. She dissolved my lips that got wayyy too overfilled (botched) by another injector and made the experience so pleasant. She walked me through everything she was going to do step by step and was so knowledgeable. I look forward to going back to her in the future for everything. She has my full trust, and I’d recommend her to everyone!

Nurse Vivii is just sublime! Her technique is on point. My lips are juicy and plump and exactly how I wanted them to look. She doesn’t recommend anything she thinks doesn’t make sense.

5/5

Vivi is the only injector I trust to do my lips! I fully trust that she will never give me undesirable results and will never pressure you to put in more product than what is needed to achieve the look you’re going for. The height and shape she was able to build for my lips is beautiful. Truly the best injector for both filler and Botox.

have a question?

Quick answers to questions you may have

Are Russian Lips right for me if I’ve never had filler before?

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.

Will my lips look bigger with Russian Lip filler?

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.

Is the Russian Lip technique more painful than regular filler?

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.

Do Russian Lips look natural?

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.

How many syringes are needed for Russian Lips?

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.

Can I switch to Russian Lips if I’ve had traditional filler in the past?

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.
