Lip rejuvenation and Russian lips in Zurich

Lip augmentation with an aesthetic result: this is precision, an eye for shape, and medical expertise in one. Full lips appear sensual, expressive, and youthful—provided they harmonize with your individual facial features. At Swiss Derma Clinic Zurich, we value balanced proportions, a natural look, and results that remain aesthetically pleasing over the long term.

Good to know:

➔ Longevity: approx. 6–12 months, varies individually

➔ Treatment: about 30 minutes, with numbing cream or integrated local anaesthesia

➔ Aftercare: gentle cooling, no sports or sauna for the first 24–48 hours

Russian Lips means: more volume, a natural look

With the Russian Lips technique, we gently lift the red part of the lips upwards rather than outwards. This makes the mouth appear more defined. The contours are sharper without losing naturalness. The Russian Lips method is particularly suitable for:

➔ narrow lips with little volume

➔ irregular lip contours

➔ those seeking a vertically “opened” and naturally accentuated lip shape

The difference compared to conventional lip augmentation lies in the injection angle and the layering technique. We use only high-quality, well-tolerated hyaluronic acid fillers. They distribute beautifully and can be selected individually according to lip shape and skin texture.

Naturalness and expressiveness at the centre

What matters is not sheer volume but a result that suits your face—one you feel comfortable with for months. Depending on your skin, combination treatments are also possible, for example with skin boosters or medical-grade skincare.

Liplase®: lip tightening without injections

It doesn’t always have to be injections. With Liplase®, we have a laser-based method available at Swiss Derma Clinic. Lip volume and contour can also be gently improved this way. The laser stimulates the body’s own collagen production, providing more firmness and a fresher appearance of the lips.

You can find more information on our Liplase® page.

FAQ

When is lip augmentation (Russian Lips) advisable?

Whenever you wish to enhance your lip shape naturally. Gentle contouring is suitable not only for visible augmentation but also for correcting asymmetries, balancing a too-thin upper or lower lip, or restoring lost volume. In our consultation in Zurich, we will discuss together whether this type of augmentation suits your lips and your goals—and which technique best fits your lip shape and personal expression: classic, defining, or the Russian Lips method.

Which combinations are possible?

Lip augmentation pairs well with complementary procedures, such as skin boosters for additional hydration or Liplase® to refine the lip contour without injections. Combining with medical-grade skincare to maintain and stabilise the result can also be beneficial.

How long do Russian Lips last?

Results generally last six to twelve months, depending on skin type, metabolism, and the hyaluronic acid used. The treatment can then be refreshed.

How often can I have the augmentation done?

A repeat treatment is possible once the result diminishes. We typically choose intervals of about one year. If needed - and depending on the individual situation—earlier touch-ups are also possible.
