Five years and I looked in the mirror just now and was instantly reminded of the beautiful work by Dr. Talei. My lips are perfectly proportioned. Perfectly. Did I get tooth show? No, because it wasn't possible in my particular case. Is my upper lip beautiful? Yes. Next up, is a face lift. I'm not sure I would trust anyone else to do it.

I wish real self would monitor some of the non-photo, almost over enthusiastic, commercial sounding ads...it is truly ruining our trust in the site...people are turning to facebook...where we see phot's, real people and can connect authentically!

I know what you're going through if you're thinking about this procedure and my advice hasn't changed. Ben Talei gave me an upper lip that is perfect for me. Proportioned. Last April, my one year mark, I met a woman who had her upper lip done by a MAJOR, major Park Avenue name, and it looked horrible. He left her looking like a chipmunk, no exaggeration. Way too much "show". At that moment I realized even more, how lucky I was to have found Dr. Talei. Trust what you see on his website. I've decided to post a B&A done side by side, only when I return to Dr. Talei's office. Nothing else will do justice. At sixty-six, I have the upper lip I had at twenty-six. It's beautiful.

I am so grateful to you for sharing your age! I am 65 and have been wondering about any age-related healing issues. It’s just great that ‘ageless’ women are now able to have procedures enhancing and making better than ever our natural beauty. I have researched PSs extensively and Dr Talei is, in my opinion, truly an aesthetic artist combined with being an incredible technician, a rare combination. I hope you post photos soon!

I continue to be over-the-moon happy. It's 6 months and both lips are the same size. The "angry" look is gone and I've got the sweetest, perfectly proportioned mouth. The scar is invisible. My nostrils are the same size they were before the lift. No one knows what I did, I just get a load of compliments. If you're hesitating, don't. Just know that in my case it was a solid 3 months before I was comfortable going out in public. But I expected that. Don't even consider using anyone but Dr. Talei. Read my review from the start. I know you want photographs but any photographs I post on this site can then be shown all over the internet, something I'm not ready for. Trust me, the ones on Dr. Talei's website are fabulous. And accurate.
