The Russian lip technique in Southport

The Russian lip technique is a particular way of placing lip filler to build height and lift the lip upward, creating a more defined, heart-shaped look rather than adding width. It uses a careful, layered approach and suits clients who want a fuller centre and a lifted Cupid’s bow. It is one of the specialist options within our lip filler options.

Natural Results You'll Love

Lifts and adds height
Rather than widening the lips, this technique builds height and lifts the lip upward for a defined shape.
Careful placement emphasises the Cupid’s bow and centre of the lip, creating a soft, heart-shaped look.
It suits clients who want fuller, more defined lips while keeping them from spreading outward.

Why the Russian technique works

The Russian technique places filler vertically, working from the base of the lip upward in small amounts, rather than along the body of the lip. This builds height and lift and emphasises the Cupid’s bow, giving a defined, heart-shaped result rather than a wider one. It is a more detailed method that can involve more swelling early on, and it suits certain lip shapes better than others, so we assess whether it is right for you at consultation.

Treatment time:

45 to 60 minutes

Downtime:

Swelling can be more noticeable for two to five days.
