Since 2018, I have embarked on a dedicated quest to visit numerous countries, for the purpose of familiarizing myself with various dermal injection techniques around the world. My primary aim has been to gather a repository of insights and refinements that may be carefully incorporated into my clinical practice.
Among the notable highlights of these voyages was developing a proficiency in the renowned ‘Russian lip’ technique, a skill I honed through experiences garnered in Russia, Ukraine and London, U.K. To my surprise, it became evident that the journey toward achieving the quintessential Russian lip was not confined to a solitary technique, but rather an amalgamation of distinct approaches, each unique to the practitioner.
Upon returning to my practice in Ontario, Canada, I started to gradually integrate the invaluable knowledge I had acquired, culminating in the development of my own distinctive method, which I have branded ‘The Nurse Yara Lip Technique.’ It is crucial to appreciate that this technique, while transformative, is not universally applicable; instead, it can be appropriately tailored to accommodate the specific needs and preferences of each client.
This technique is most advantageous for clients seeking pronounced attributes such as a well-defined cupid’s bow, a meticulously detailed vermilion border, and a heart-shaped lip shape with a flattened lip profile.
In practice, I employ a 30G, one-inch needle in conjunction with a dermal filler possessing a high G-prime. The volume of dermal filler employed varies according to characteristics of the individual client, but generally falls within the range of 0.5 mL to 0.8 mL of product. In a patient with initially voluminous lips, an upward limit of 1.2 mL may be considered, making sure to never exceed this threshold within a single session.
