WORTH IT$5,000
I've always felt self conscious about my mid face, specifically the lip area, so my goal is to reduce the length of the upper lip which is 2 cm long, gain some tooth show and have more definition on my cupids bow.
Im 30 years old so I figured is a good age to have it done before it drops even more.
It will be nicer to have it shorter to balance the features of my face.
Having a long lip makes me look tired, mean and stern at rest. Looking bitchy and unapproachable, its been a constant stress and torment in my life. However Im happy that I found Dr Ben Talei and looking forward to have the procedure done :)
The surgery takes place on Dec the 2nd so I will keep you posted!

Here is a picture minutes before and just after the procedure, lips and nostrils are very swollen but can already see the space between nose and lip has been reduced. Im not taking any medication whatsoever and it doesn't hurt, was able to sleep normally during the night. Im living on my own at the moment and nobody knows I had this done so the day before the surgery bought groceries for the whole week. In case I need to go out I think I'll just wear a surgical mask.
In 6 days Dr Ben is removing the stitches and we will see how it goes. Thank u so much for all the support!

Already looks great! Do you know how many mm was removed? Wishing you fast recovery! And thank you for sharing.

Thank you Tugores, I dont know how much he removed, before it was the size of a finger and a half almost two fingers, now I can only fit one finger in the space remaining. I feel I could have more mm taken but he knows what suits best for each patient so it won't look fake , I will ask him next Thursday for exact measurements, :) xoxo

Here is a little update , this is the 3rd day; I know everything looks very big and swollen but its normal :) Im feeling ok, no bleeding, no pain, all Im taking is Arnika Forte which is based on natural ingredients, and applying bacitracin ointment on the incision twice a day.
Dr Ben is truly an angel.
Thanks for your kind words and being part of this community <3

I can't believe you are not in any pain! I think it still looks good, just the wait game... are you able to eat or even talk at all? What are your restrictions? I am very interested in this procedure. Does it hurt to close your mouth? Sorry for all the questions, I hope mine goes as good as yours did really nervous

No pain at all Shabg, Im able to eat carefully to not pull anything inside, I try not to talk, its still stiff, my mom phoned my twice and was able to speak just not laugh, when I laugh it hurts a bit. Restrictions, not working out or do vigorous activity for at least 3 weeks till it heals. Feel free to ask anything :) you won't regret, look for an experienced dr in these kind of procedures, dr Ben performs liplifts on a daily basis. You will be in good hands, good luck!!!

I know you're super swollen, but I can already tell your lips will be beautiful!! I'm sooo jealous you got this done. I'm still saving up money to have it done and I plan on going to Dr. Talei too. I hope you post more pictures soon! I'd love to see how you look once the swelling goes down. :)
