Lip correction is perhaps the most popular contour plastic procedure. True, in some cases cosmetic intervention is not noticeable, while in others it can leave scars. For example, the “hyaluronic mustache” that Hailey Bieber is often accused of having. What is it and why do they appear, says Elena Umnova, founder of the Update clinic, cosmetologist and mentor for Mertz injection procedures.
How did the technique of Russian lips come about?
About five years ago, a special filler injection technique appeared, which now has many names: “flat bow”, “split lips”, and foreign doctors have russian lips (although the technique refers more to the reproduction of African-American anatomy). Slavic). The fact is that the contour of the upper lip, which in some patients is called the “Cupid’s bow”, is not emphasized enough. And the “flat bow” technique helps to emphasize it.
With this technique, hyaluronic acid gel is injected with vertical “columns”. And in order for the lips to be proportional to the individual anatomy of the face, the doctor must have a good sense of aesthetics.

With such a correction of the lips, a noticeable roll can form on the upper part, which will create a noticeable shadow. This is a clear sign of overcorrection and a sign that the gel has moved beyond the red border and entered the vault. Popularly, this type of migration of the gel is called the “hyaluronic whisker” and is often noticed by Hailey Bieber.
What are the disadvantages of the Russian lips technique?
Since the shape of the lips made with this technique is not very physiological and as a result, it is short-lived, the patient has to apply to a beautician more often. After a few months, the lips “roll” and lose their original flat shape, but the enlargement effect remains. And maybe that’s why the hyper-corrected photos circulated on the Web – the patient requires more, and the previously introduced gel is not yet biodegradable, and as a result, rollers may appear.
