Dr. Reichel Did a Great Job and is Now my Go to for Nonsurgical Lip Augmentation!

At the time of the procedure, I immediately noticed that one side of my lips was flatter than then other. I pointed it out in the moment and was abruptly told, "I put the same amount on each side!" Ok, I trusted her.
Well, they healed the way they looked that day. The side that is flatter stayed flatter. I went to my usual gal who fixed it for me and helped with my other needs (non-surgical jaw contouring and chin augmentation). Skin by Lovely my be more expensive, but they are amazing and always do an amazing job. I am going to stick with them for most things. I am still considering Ultherapy with Dr. Reichel down the road.

Dr. Reichel answered my questions and listened to my concerns. I have had lip filler once before this and I absolutely love my person who is in Portland; however, she is not going to be available until later this month (New Years Eve day), which was way too long for my lips. I wanted them settled (so I didn't look like a duck) before the holidays. Also, Portland is a two and a half hour drive for me, which is a pain if I needed adjustments.

I booked with Dr. Reichel for two reasons: 1. To establish a relationship with a local provider that does awesome work, and 2. To get an appointment sooner rather than later. Dr. Reichel did not disappoint when it came to her knowledge about cosmetic procedures, her willingness to answer questions directly, and her ability to address my concerns (i.e., placement of lip filler and how accentuates laugh lines). She used one syringe of Juvederm. My lips look FANTASTIC. Also, I did not know this before booking, but Dr. Reichel is best friends with my usual person in Portland and actually trained her. Definitely a cool coincidence that helped me feel even more confident in her abilities.

My only complaints were the time it took Dr. Reichel to see me after I arrived and how her Renton office handled it. I arrived on-time for my appointment. When I still had not been seen 20 minutes later, I asked the staff the estimated time of arrival. I understand that doctors run late - it happens. I would have appreciated staff check-ins. It would have demonstrated awareness that I had been waiting and I would have felt more valued as a patient.

That being said I would still see Dr. Reichel for nonsurgical lip augmentation because she does quality work and I may also see her for ultherapy in the Spring (she looks amazing and kind of sold me on it).
