I have pretty much grown up in Beverly Hills my...

I have pretty much grown up in Beverly Hills my whole life. And I just turned 30 last year. Needless to say, at this point I pretty much only know a couple of ladies who have not (or at at least don't admit to) having had any work done. I personally have gone to numerous consultations with the best of the best well known and most hush hush kept doctors over the years with my closest friends. Boob jobs, nose jobs, botox, fillers... I've seen them all. I have personally had a nose job back in my younger days and I'm all for plastic surgery so long as it looks good (and by good I mean naturally pretty, not some crazy real housewives crap, unless that is what floats ur boat, to each his own..).

On top of having turned 30, I attribute my premature crows, feet, eleven lines, laugh lines and over all tired aging look to my stressful job as an attorney. Which brings me to my next point, I'm super overly cautious, question any and everything and am super skeptical of this to the point of an annoying flaw to most all (except for my clients lol).

I was referred to Dr. Talei through my mom's friend who had recently gotten an amazing face lift from him. When I saw her she looked like she had just returned from a 10 year trip in heaven. So natural and rejuvenated. My dad, mom, husband and sister couldn't even tell, they just said she looked "really good" lol. To me she looks 10 years younger. No joke. She told me Dr. Talei is the man everyone goes to for every and absolutely any work on the face. He daughter also later told me she has been getting fillers and botox from him forever but swore me to secrecy. This is not unusual, people in LA are weird and are super reluctant to share true beauty secrets and the best doctors are kept secret due to their high profile secretive client (e.g. Kylie Jenner oops, did I say that? Sure, it's just new lip liner...)

Besides the fact that he looks perfect on paper with all the specializations and top schools, credentials, yada ...Dr. Ben Talei, was amazing from my first consult. I feel like I had taken a medical class after leaving his office because he had taught me so much and explained everything so thoroughly. I have been to other plastic surgeons who have either been too salesman like, cheesy, too busy to treat you like a person, and even a couple who use a ridiculing/bullying tactic. But Dr. Talei was perfect. He kept it real without having me leaving me feeling crappy after noticing what my own naked hadn't (which I've seen doctors do in the past, turning me off). His manner was extremely professional, caring and on point!

After having finally felt like I had found the one. I told him to do it. I told him to do whatever he thought should be done. Which was a combination of botox and fillers. Fillers on my laugh lines, under eye/cheek, lips and botox on various parts of my forehead, eyes, and under eyebrows. Instant happiness. I just looks good. Not tired. Rejuvenated. I wish I had done this sooner. I was really concerned about people noticing it. I got a lot more compliments from people saying things like "you look so pretty today" but not a single person, even my closest friends notice I had "work done". And when I told them they were blown away and asked when they can get an appt with him asap.

So yea. SUCCESS. Money and time saved from dealing from all the heavy makeup, contouring and "lip plumper" glosses. Be smart, don't buy into all of that, every one of those beautiful woman has a doctor they keep secret. As I told Dr. Talei, I'm a lifer. And since I'm a nice person who believes sharing is caring, I am spreading the word because everyone should have a right to be as pretty on the outside as they are on the inside. So enjoy! :)

As I mentioned above. He couldn't have been better. For once, a doctor's perfect on paper reputation matched the perfect in person character. Which really means a lot coming from a skeptical worrywart like myself (but hey it pays!).
