WORTH IT$4,500
I started looking into this procedure about 5-6 years ago and was convinced it would work very well for me to help balance and brighten the look of my face. In the process I found Dr. Spiegel online followed him and his work periodically after that. At the time I was a graduate student and not in the position to be undergoing an elective procedures.
A year ago I finally went in for a consult with Dr. Spiegel and he told me I was a good candidate for the procedure. About 10 months after that I booked the procedure and just had it done this May 2017.

Congratulations! How is your recovery going? I just got my lip lift on June 2nd so only 3 days past recovery. I'm very swollen but optimistic. :)

Dararay,

Dr. Aminpour out of Los Angeles did my surgery. I also did buccal fat removal and chin lipo so it's a lot at once to recover from. I would like to post a review soon with photos. :) I've just been tired and a little nervous to share my story!

Thanks! The swelling is tougher than I expected, and seems to take forever to go away. But once it did very happy!

You look amazing! I hope you're so happy! My swelling definitely took a full week to go down. I hope you're feeling great!!

Why did he mark your upper lip when, presumably, he was only giving you a subnasal lip lift?

Thank you for your review! Wishing you good recovery, despite swelling, you can see nice improvement in the facial proportions. What was the length before and how much was removed? Did you have to fly in? If yes, did you return the same day? Will appreciate the updates!

I was lucky to have Dr. Spiegel about 15 mins away from where I live so didn't have to travel. I actually don't know what any of the measurements were (before, removed, after). I just trusted Dr. Spiegel to get the best aesthetic result.

It looks like you will have a fantastic result. BTW, appears your pre-surgical markings were very skillfully placed.

wow. It looks great. You will have a tremendously improved result. Looks like he took off a little more off the right (camera right) side, to balance out the lip position. I really admire his technique.

First week of recovery

SacanhaJune 13, 2017
There was a lot of swelling in the lip, nose and cheeks. After the 4th or 5th day the swelling dissipated in those areas and settled into lower jaw prob for another 4 to 5 days. Overall not much pain after really the second day though.
