Russian Lips

Russian Lips – Natural Shape and Beautifully Enhanced Lips

Russian Lips is a lip filler technique that focuses on enhancing the shape of the lips for a natural end result.
The technique accentuates the Cupid's bow and lifts the center of the lips while keeping the side profile of the lips as natural as possible. The result is beautifully shaped, balanced, and full lips without a heavily protruding effect.
The goal is to emphasize the natural beauty of the lips and create an individualized result for the client that harmonizes with their facial features.
Every pair of lips is unique, which is why the most suitable technique is always chosen based on the client's anatomy, initial condition, and wishes.

Before the Treatment

To ensure the treatment goes as smoothly as possible and to minimize the risk of bruising and swelling, we recommend keeping the following in mind prior to the procedure:

• Avoid alcohol consumption for at least 24 hours before the treatment.
  
• Avoid heavy exercise for 24 hours before the treatment.
  
• If possible, avoid blood-thinning medications, such as acetylsalicylic acid (e.g., Aspirin and Disperin) as well as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen (e.g., Burana), for about 24 hours prior to the treatment. However, do not discontinue any medication prescribed by a doctor without discussing it with your physician first.
  
• It is recommended to pause the use of Omega-3 supplements, Vitamin E, and other dietary supplements that increase bleeding tendencies for about 3 to 7 days before the treatment, provided it is safe for your health.
  
• Arrive for your treatment free of any active cold sores (herpes labialis) or other infections in the treated area. If you are prone to cold sores, please inform your practitioner before the treatment.
  

Russian Lips – Aftercare Instructions

After the procedure, normal and temporary reactions may occur in the lips, such as:

• Swelling
  
• Redness
  
• Bruising
  
• Tenderness
  
• Itching
  
• Tingling
  

These are common reactions following an injection procedure and generally subside within a few days. If the symptoms persist for a long time or if you experience severe pain, increasing swelling, or other unusual symptoms, contact the professional who performed the treatment.
Lip swelling can last for up to a week. During this time, the lips may appear slightly asymmetrical, which is a normal part of the healing process. The final treatment result can be evaluated after about two weeks.

During the First Few Hours

• Do not touch the treated area for the first six hours. After this, you may gently clean the area with water.
  

The First 3 Days

• Avoid kissing.
  
• Avoid pressing the lips tightly together.
  
• Avoid exaggerated lip movements.
  

The First Week

• Avoid saunas.
  
• Avoid tanning beds (solariums).
  
• Avoid strong sunlight.
  
• Avoid strenuous physical activity.
  

Light makeup can be applied immediately after the treatment.
Avoid exposing the treated area to intense heat or cold until the swelling and redness have subsided.
Do not massage or press the lips before your follow-up appointment. This allows the filler to settle properly and ensures the final shape remains as beautiful as possible.
