How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

8 Month Update (Likely last post!)
Hello All,
I am at the 8 month mark now, and today I'm going to see Dr. Talei for what I guess will be the last follow up. The last few follow ups he has lasered my incision (which is now basically invisible). He has also given me a couple of the steroid shots to address the muscle hardening I had in my first 4 months. Today we will do Before & After pics and I think that will be it! I have no further concerns at this point, and his post care has been very comprehensive and I'm appreciative.
I have added a few photos as of today. I'm happy with my results, and although it was a long recovery process (about 4 months total til I felt completely normal), it was worth it for me! :)

7 Month Update - Lip Lift
Made it to seven months! Not much to report...except to encourage those patients of Dr. Talei's that the results do continue to improve over the first year, just like he says. You will look great long before then, but as swelling diminishes and the incision disappears, the overall look keeps getting better & better. If you're at the beginning of your recovery, hang in there!
(I've had a little filler in my smile lines in the "after" photo, but NOTHING done to my lips except the lift.) :)

6 Month Update - Lip Lift
Made it to 6 months! The results definitely keep getting better over time, just like Dr. Talei said they would prior to my procedure. Healing happens gradually over the first year, and I've seen improvements each month.
I had my 6 month check up in December. Dr. Talei did laser on my incision/scar again (third time). Although I think it looks great and pretty faded, he insists that it can be even better. He also put two dots of botox below my lip because he said my lips naturally "frown". I never noticed it, but if he wants to try to improve me even more, I'll take it! :)
As I've stated many times, the recovery for this procedure isn't an easy one, however, Dr. Talei is the best man for the job and he will be sure to take care of any issues that arise along the way!
