Before and After perialar lip lift -

This surgery has been nothing short of life changing for me. Five years ago I was botched by a different doctor with a seemingly harmless injection and it left my upper lip way too long and wide for symmetry of my face. I looked like a different (much older) person.



I consulted over 5 doctors, 2 of which said I was not a candidate for a regular lip lift. Which made sense bc when I tried to simulate the result of a normal lip lift, which just lifts the middle third of one's lip, I didn't see much change.



I'd been searching the internet for 5 years trying to find someone that offered a lip lift that lifted the entire lip including the corners. One day I found Dr. Stong and I knew this was perfect for me and my lip woes would finally be laid to rest.



I'm back to getting attention and walking out into the world confidently. It changed my whole face back to what it was before- even had the effect of plumping my lower lip and changing my face shape back to more of an oval rather than a square. Dr. Stong conducts himself with the highest professionalism.



As far as the scar, I used biocornium serum daily, got 3 co2 treatments specifically on the scar, and got a steroid injection. The recovery was kind of rough but I would have done anything for this result.



I've heard something like 70% of people are not good candidates for a normal lip lift, and of the 30% that are, the results aren't very apparent in about half of them. That means that a normal lip lift only helps about 15% of the population who seek them. The solution for this gap in the market is Dr. Stong's cutting-edge Perialar lip lift.



With Dr. Stong's technique, you WILL get a drastic and impressive result. These after photo is with no lipstick on. Would recommend over and over again. Idk why more dr's don't use this as their gold standard. Thank you Dr. Stong!!

I underwent both an ethnic rhinoplasty and buccal fat removal in October 2022, and the experience was nothing short of fantastic. Dr. Stong showcased not only exceptional technical skills but also a deep understanding of and respect for my ethnic background, ensuring a result that was both aesthetically pleasing and culturally appropriate.

From the initial consultation, the surgeon was incredibly attentive, answering all my questions patiently and in detail. He took the time to understand my goals and provided a detailed plan that was tailored to my needs.

The surgery itself went smoothly, and the medical staff was professional and caring. Post-operative care was also top-notch, with clear instructions and close follow-up, which made the recovery process easier and more comfortable than I had anticipated.

But the highlight is, undoubtedly, the result. The changes are subtle yet significant, enhancing my features while preserving my ethnic identity. My nose now fits perfectly with the rest of my features, and the buccal fat removal has given my face a more defined and sculpted look.

I am delighted with the outcome and have received many compliments on how natural and balanced the changes look. My confidence has skyrocketed since the surgery.

I couldn't be happier with my decision to trust them with my surgery.

I had a top thin lip, that looked like a straight line. I always wanted my top lip to be fuller, with shape, and more tooth show. Dr. Stong removed about 6mm of skin. My face was noticeably swollen the first week. I'm very happy with my results. I went back after a month to get lip fillers in.

Dr. Stong is the ONLY person I trust with my Face. His attention to detail tops all other Doctors I have tried prior to finding him! The search is over!
He and the Kalos team are highly recommended!

I had filler and Botox done with Dr.Stong I would highly recommend him. He was patient and answered all my questions and concerns. When he went to do my filler he was kind and gentle being sure to take his time and address my areas of concern. I left with a very natural look and no bruising! I would highly recommend Dr.Stong for all your Botox and filler needs!

Love it!!! Removed 6mm and very happy with results! I was very swollen and took a while for swelling to go down! Changed my face and took off years! I’ve had filler over the years and some recently added!

Exceeded Expectations!
I visited Dr. Benjamin Stong and Kalos Facial Plastic Surgery and have enjoyed excellent results with very little discomfort. I have had several opportunities to develop great confidence in Dr. Stong and his staff who are patient, knowledgeable and professional. The waiting room and treatment rooms are soothing and serene. All the members of his staff invest significant time and energy to make patients feel comfortable and valued. I asked a multitude of questions of Dr. Stong and his staff to make sure my expectations were realistic and possible. The results of Dr. Stong's artistry exceeded my expectations! I am so confident in my experience and the long-term results, that I have recommended Dr. Stong to my close friend who is now one of his patients, as well. I wholeheartedly give five stars to Dr. Benjamin Stong and Kalos Facial Plastic Surgery!

I was really nervous even considering cosmetic surgery. But it had been becoming increasingly obvious that my youthful glow had dimmed. All the typical bad decisions we make in our youth, sunbathing without sunscreen and years of smoking had taken its toll. I was lucky to find Dr. Stong. He was referred to me by my Dermatopathologist Dr. Dirk Robertson.
Dr Stong is a no nonsense type physician who gave me so much of his time from my first visit to my last. On March 16th I had a facelift and upper blepharoplasty. I love it! I’m still healing but the changes so far have been amazing. Dr. Stong was very clear and honest on what to expect in every phase of my surgery. Love his staff, they were super friendly, reassuring when I was nervous, and supportive throughout. Will return only to him for future procedures and will continue to recommend him to my friends and family.

I chose Dr. Stong because I trusted his conservative approach. There was a hollowness and excessive wrinkling under my eyes causing people to ask me if I was tired when I wasn't. The goal was to look rested, not younger, and he accomplished this. My recovery has been faster than expected and Dr. Stong continues to tweak the results. I was pleasantly surprised when attending social and business events that nobody asked if I had work done during the healing process. So the results are obviously subtle and natural looking, which I wanted. He is genuinely concerned about the results and my satisfaction. Although I don't see any additional procedures for me in the future, if there are, I wouldn't hesitate to use him again. I am very happy with the results and his staff has been friendly and accommodating.

As most people I was nervous about changing my face. I had been think about surgery for years. I spent a lot of time researching on the internet and then a friend of mine told be about Dr. Stong. I was immediately at ease. The calm demeanor and confidence put my mind to rest. I'm about a year out from surgery and the results are better than I had hoped. My nose looks natural and more refined and my neck and cheeks look 25 years younger. My only regret is not doing it sooner.
