Will the Russian Lip filler technique work on lifting small upper lip without making it ducky?

Dear Sunshinee1994,
I perform a lot of lip injections with fillers such as juvederm and it works great. Many times I need to put more in one side than the other to attempt to even out the vermillion border (The red line of the lip). This helps provide more symmetry at times.For patients looking for a more long lasting result, I recommend fat grafting. That is, using your own bodies fat to make your lips naturally look more shapely. The bonus is that the results last many many years.
In general, I avoid using permanent prosthesis because I find that the lips are such dynamic and sensitive structures, the end result is not natural.

In general, having ducky lips is not flattering to anyone. It’s not necessarily a technique or an approach that creates beautiful lips. It is the skills of a plastic surgeon and understanding the aesthetics of a human face that determine the outcome which the patient desires well ahead of the treatment itself. I hope this helps and good luck from New York City Plastic Surgery
