Pleasant Experience / Natural Result

WORTH IT$7,500
I had a lip lift and profound done with Dr. Talei. The result is beautiful/very natural with no distortion of my nose. Good follow up care to help with the scar tissue. The entire process from scheduling to after care was pleasant. I generally avoid paying the Beverly Hills/high profile Dr markup but researched quite a bit and couldn’t find someone else I felt as comfortable going to for a lip lift. I got a good vibe from Dr. Talei and believe he cares about his patients, has good technical skill and aesthetic eye.

Hi, how much down time did you have after doing the profound? Also how well did it work for you?

i’m very happy with the profound. i felt like i wanted a facelift before but knew it was too early and all the drs i asked agreed, the profound really helped and i don’t feel like i need a facelift anymore. the downtown was more than what i found advertised, i wasn’t comfortable socially for probably about 2 weeks, but it’s definitely worth it.

7500 dollars???

yeah- it’s a little insane for a lip lift. but my regular surgeon who i trust and is reasonably priced didn’t want to do it, so I ended up paying the markup and do feel it was worth it.

Hi! Was wondering what type of medications he prescribes for the lip lift, and for how many days? I have a sensitive gut and liver so that's the part that worries me the most, especially the antibiotics. Thanks!

wish I could help but I don’t remember unfortunately. I want to say no antibiotics were prescribed but can’t say for sure. it’s done under local so medication is minimal.

Hi @shooz33, I just had the procedure done 10 days ago. Medications prescribed are: antibiotic, anti-viral, a steroid, something for nausea (only if needed - I did not need), and a pain killer (only if needed - I did not need). Hope this helps.

Hi hawaiikarin 19. Yes I had my lip lift on June 11th with Dr Talei!! You will love him.. he is so nice and I felt so relaxed with him. The procedure is painless. After the first injection was given I just sailed true it. I love my lip lift it is the best thing I have ever done for myself!! I had very thin lips and now I have lips that I love. Sorry I have not written a review yet but I just returned to Australia 2 days ago. I have family in LA so I spent 2 months there. I will be writing a review in the next two weeks!! Good luck in September!! You will love your new look!! You are going to the best doctor....Dr Talei is brilliant!! Also all the staff are wonderful!! Looking forward to hearing about lip lift in September!! Aruam.

Hi hawaiikarin 19!! I'm wondering if you saw my reply to your question on Lip Lift with Dr Talei!! Just checking to see did you get yours done!! Looking forward to hearing your news!! I still haven written my review yet!! Aruam.

Hi :) I just saw your reply,. I had my lip lift in September with Dr. Talei, I also had the aura lift .its been a month, my lips look pretty so far but I can't smile at all!!! How long did it take for you to smile? Dr. Talei is unbelievable, I literally have no scars from the aura lift!!!! I haven't done a review yet either, probably wait till the 3rd month when he says things really look good. Did you find that to be true? Karin

Hi Hawaiikarin19!! Delighted to hear you are very happy with Dr Talei!! It's only one month since your lip lift that's very early days to be able to smile yet!! I'm four months since my lip lift and I'm still a little stiff!! It looks perfect and no one would notice I'm not smiling properly but I can feel a little restriction!! You will love yours more and more especially when the three month mark arrives!! It makes such a difference to ones face when the lip is lifted!! You must be over the Moon with having an Aura Lift as well!! I wold love to have one!! I've seen photos of it and everyone looks amazing!! Is the Aura Lift very expensive? Are you posting photos on your review? I wish I could get started on my review because I found all the reviews very helpful. I'm just not very motivated at the moment!! Thank you it was so nice hearing back from you!! I'll look orders to your review!! Aruam

Hi Aruam:) thanks for the encouraging words, I need to relax & have more patience I know:) the aura lift was $27k But I have no scars, it's amazing, worth the money to have such a skilled surgeon! I'll post pics at 3 months I think. Thanks again for writing back!
