Technique and individual anatomy
Russian Lips or classic lip shaping?
Technique names describe goals rather than guaranteed results. The safest plan is based on anatomy, existing filler and facial proportions.
What does Russian Lips mean?
It commonly refers to emphasising vertical height and the Cupid’s bow, but it is not one standardised method.
What is classic shaping?
It may emphasise natural proportions, borders, symmetry or balanced fullness depending on the client.
Which suits me?
Suitability depends on tissue, starting shape, previous filler and desired change.
Design for the face, not a trend
BeautyBell prioritises proportion and safety over technique labels or social-media trends.
