Russian Lips vs Standard Lips

Many people inquire what the difference is between Russian lips and Standard lips. Both lip shapes and lip methods are brilliant, but they do accomplish diverse things and suit diverse individuals in several ways.


Standard Lips


Standard Lips

Standard lips feature a large cupid's bow tapering toward the borders and a lovely and full shape centrally in both the upper and lower lip. They also provide superb projection from the side, making the lips appear luscious and moisturized. The classic lip provides you a fuller-bodied look and an all-over plumped impression. 


Certain sorts of faces benefit greatly from the traditional lip shape. For example, if your side profile is fairly powerful, with projection from your nose and chin, your lips should have a level of projection to be in harmony with the rest of your face.  





Russian Lips


The Russian method is a collection of techniques used to produce height on a lip. This implies that the pink of the lip is pushed higher on the upper lip, creating the illusion of a shorter philtrum. Similarly, the bottom lip falls lower, creating a deeper 'v' shape curve toward the chin. The important difference with this method is that it keeps the lips rather flat from the side, giving you a more Bratz doll impression.  


Russian lips

This approach is ideal for certain faces. For example, if you have incredibly small features, you don't want highly projecting lips since even if the lips alone don't seem ducky, the overall impression would be disproportionate.  It is ideal for persons with a longer philtrum or a very thin top lip since it adds the necessary height to establish facial symmetry. Typically, this works best on virgin or unfilled lips so that past filler does not interfere with lip lifting. It is doable with minimal filler, but if this is the shape you want and you presently have filler in your lips, we would advocate dissolving the existing filler and beginning again.


While most clients report that the procedure is no more painful than the traditional lip, the Russian approach does carry a higher risk of bruising and swelling. After two weeks, the results should be entirely settled, and both procedures have the same lifespan. If you are unsure about what is best for you, we provide a comprehensive consultation with every session and may discuss it with you then.
