  • 01.12.2020

Last time we mentioned the Russian Lips method in our blog about lip augmentation methods. Based on the great interest and questions that this blog has generated, we have decided to answer the most important and most frequent ones in our article.

How much does it cost?

The price is 340€

How long does the procedure take?

As this is a procedure that requires real precision and time, it takes approximately 45 minutes

How long does the russian lips effect last?

It's individual, but about 7-10 months

How to relieve swelling after lip fillers?

  • avoid excessive or very strenuous exercise for at least 24 hours after treatment
  • use an ice pack on the lips
  • drink plenty of water
  • avoid excessive salting for 24 hours as dehydration could occur

All swelling will disappear in most cases within 48 hours.

Can I eat after the procedure?

Yes, but stick to our top tips and you won't make a mistake:
On the first day, stick to food that is easy to eat and chew, this means you are less likely to have to wipe your lips and disturb the injection site. Avoid vitamin E supplements for a few days, as this can increase the risk of bruising.

What can and cannot be done after lip filler, what is the aftercare for the lips?

  • stick to foods that are easy to eat
  • avoid kissing or massaging the lips 24 h after the procedure
  • be gentle on the skin when washing for 24 hours
  • do not use scrubs or cleansing brushes for several days
  • do not do facial massage for at least two weeks
  • do not drink through a straw on the first day as this puts pressure on the lips
  • do not drink alcohol for at least 24 hours after using hyaluronic acid
  • do not exercise for at least 24 hours

We recommend that you follow all these steps.

Can there be long-term side effects of this technique?

In our institute, the procedure is performed by a doctor. In this case, there should be no adverse long-term side effects. Short-term side effects may include:

  • small amount of bleeding from the injection site
  • bruises
  • swelling
  • Sensitivity

All should subside within approximately 48 hours after application.

Do injections damage the lips?

The injections do not harm the lips, the filler used (hyaluronic acid) is a naturally occurring acid that is slowly absorbed into the body.

Can I buy hyaluronic acid online and do my augmentation at home?

Certainly not. Any interventions on the body that may affect health should be carried out by a doctor. Many times people want to save, but at what cost. It is important to note that any procedures performed on inadequately qualified persons or DIY attempts can lead to long-term side effects that may include, but are not limited to:

  • asymmetry of the lips, even in parts where the injection was not even placed
  • bumps on the lips and irregularities
  • in the worst case, lip necrosis

To avoid these permanent undesirable effects, as well as health problems, we recommend a consultation with Vanda Przewlocka, MD, PhD, the director of our institute, who is dedicated to this lip augmentation technique.
