THErina Shayk, but also Megan Fox: they have in common the so-called “Russian Lips”, orreally a shape of lips which gave the technique its name most requested filler right now in Italy. It is about a mouth to heart, just like the matryoshkas, and is becoming a real trend.
Heart-shaped lips: the most requested filler technique
Now that the mouth becomes visible again after being hidden by the mask, the attention falls right there, increasing the interventions on the lips. And, in particular, the heart-shaped lips are among the most requested.
Irina Shayk’s “russian lips” (@irinahsyak Instagram)
Because this form, the most sensual
The reason for the name is easy to say: the particular arched shape of the upper lip, in fact, not only recalls a heart but above all the design of the mouth of the matryoshkas, usually fleshy and red. Not the case Irina Shayk is among the reference models for this type of intervention, together with Megan Fox.
A glam, and certainly more natural, evolution of the old-fashioned “duck” lips, protruding, which gave that typical sulky expression much requested in surgical practices in recent years.
How they are obtained
High, flat, protracted outwards and with a particularly pronounced Cupid’s bow, heart-shaped lips are obtained with a hyaluronic acid filler: or with injections through very thin needles performed along the lip contour vertically, perpendicular to the upper lip.
In fact, the secret is to inject a small amount so as to distribute it well to obtain the most natural result possible. Drawn on the conformity of the face, the effect of the filler lasts about a year although external factors such as sun exposure and smoking contribute to its absorption.
Who they look good on
Heart-shaped lips are not suitable for everyone: for example, they are not recommended for faces with rather marked or particularly elongated features.
This type of lips tend to be they give a lot to small faces, with small noses and high cheekboneswhich is very similar to the natural constitution of Russian women. It is not recommended instead for those with a more pronounced and pronounced face but also with too thin lips, because it would be too forced a change. Also this treatment comes basically not recommended even for women over 40, simply because they have more need to redefine the contour of the face.
Why do they like them? The “Rich Girl Face” phenomenon
The increase in Russian Lips is part of the broader phenomenon of the “Rich Girl Face”. In fact, in recent years there has been a boom in requests for surgery from the youngest who, following the fashions of the moment, they opted for interventions that made them look like celebs.
And having full lips is part of the contemporary aesthetic canon, at the expense of thinner and finer ones like Jennifer Aniston or Kate Middleton mouths.
For many it is the fault of social networks: on Instagram and TikTok there are many videos showing the intervention itself, with advice on the amount of hyaluronic acid needed, and photos of the before / after treatment.
Therefore, we no longer speak of aesthetic medicine to mitigate the natural signs of aging but of treatments for change your image. By adopting the aesthetic standards that are widespread on social networks, from pronounced cheekbones to full lips.
Going beyond the aesthetic trend, for many experts it is almost a real sociological phenomenon that greatly underlines the fragility of the new generations. Therefore, as always, approach with criteria. And in expert hands.
