What Is Lip Filler?

Lip filler is a dermal filler used to add volume, shape, and definition to the lips. The most common type is made from hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring substance that attracts moisture and keeps lips plump and hydrated.

What Lip Fillers Do:

✔ Enhance lip volume
✔ Define the lip shape (e.g., Cupid’s bow)
✔ Smooth fine lines around the mouth
✔ Restore lost fullness due to aging

What to Expect:

  • Procedure: Takes about 15-30 minutes, with minimal discomfort (numbing cream is usually applied).

  • Immediate Results: Lips may appear swollen at first, but the final look settles within 1-2 weeks.

  • Longevity: Results last 6-12 months, depending on metabolism and product used.


The Russian Lip Technique

The new and improved lip filler technique: The Russian lip technique is a lip filler method designed to create a subtle, heart-shaped, and lifted look rather than just adding volume. Inspired by the doll-like lips seen in Russian beauty trends, this technique focuses on enhancing the height of the lips while maintaining a natural, flatter profile.

Key Features of the Russian Lip Technique:

Lip height over volume – Lifts the cupid’s bow and creates a more vertical, structured look.
Flat profile – Avoids the overfilled “duck lip” appearance.
Precise micro-droplet injections – Filler is injected vertically rather than horizontally to shape the lips naturally.
Best for first-time fillers – Works well on virgin lips but may require dissolving previous filler for best results.

What to Expect with the Russian Lip Technique:

  • More swelling compared to traditional filler techniques, lasting a few days.

  • Results last 6-12 months, depending on metabolism and filler type.


AfterCare:

First 24-48 Hours:

Avoid touching, pressing, or massaging your lips to prevent filler movement.
Apply ice packs (wrapped in a cloth) to reduce swelling and bruising. Be gentle with ice
Stay hydrated—drink plenty of water to help the hyaluronic acid settle.
Avoid makeup on the lips to prevent infection.
No alcohol, salty, or spicy foods—these can increase swelling.
Sleep with your head elevated to minimize swelling.

First Week:

Avoid intense exercise, saunas, and excessive heat (hot showers, sun exposure) to reduce swelling.
Skip facials, laser treatments, or dental work for at least two weeks to prevent pressure on the lips.
Expect some swelling and bruising—this is normal and should subside within a few days.

Long-Term Care:

Use a gentle lip balm (avoid harsh or plumping lip products for a few days).
Follow up with your injector if you notice lumps, unevenness, or prolonged swelling.
Schedule touch-ups every 6-12 months to maintain results.
