I have been noticing that my upper lips had what is called "smoker lines". I have never smoked, and have not been using straws, per my doc's suggestion. Botox was not the solution. I heard from fellow Realself members , and my ps that Volbella is the product to help dissipate those noticeable lines!!! I am going to try this product and will post pix after my visit!!

Volbella..The new lip filler!!!
I've not had much success with Botox on my lips for my vertical lines. I heard about a new filler, Volbella, that's supposedly new on the market. It's made specifically for lip lines. I will post my after pic after my appointment.

You look so beautiful and your doctor is amazing! Was she also responsible for your lovely sharp jawline?

September 15, 2016
Yes, Dr. Sweis is the diva of plastic surgery. She did a lower and upper face lift with a neck lift, as well. I owe it all to her!! Thank you for your kind words!
October 2, 2016
How long ago was the upper and lower face lift done? U have spent a lot of money on that beautiful face:)

October 2, 2016
Both within a year. I've spent a big bundle on ps with Dr. Sweis. I can not tell you how she's changed my self confidence.

Where is this dr located?

October 2, 2016
Dr. Iliana Sweis is located in Northbrook Illinois. She does OUTSTANDING work. I've had several procedures with her, and love all of my results!!'nn

U look beautiful, I also just turned 60. Are u willing to tell cost? I know that's very personal?

October 2, 2016
Dr. Iliana Sweis has 2 locations. One is in Northbrook Illinois and the other is in Chicago.

October 4, 2016
I will tell you the price, if you like, but for what procedure? I've had a couple. :-)
October 3, 2016
You look beautiful! I just had my first procedure 12 days ago with Dr Sweis and I loved her. I did an upper bleph and I'm healing. You reassure me that I made a great choice! ❤️

October 3, 2016
I'm so happy that you choose Dr. Sweis as your ps for your procedure! I have the utmost respect for her, and personally feel she is the BEST doc in the Midwest!! Good luck with healing !!
October 5, 2016
Thanks! You look great! We are both fans, and she told me I'm healing ahead of schedule. I can't wait to see my final result...I think this could be addictive!


October 5, 2016
I'm sure your final results will be everything you wanted and MORE!! I know what you mean by getting "addicted ". :-). It does get a little expensive! I have to restrain myself for awhile.

October 5, 2016
Hahaha! Yes agreed. I was supposed to take my biannual trip to Europe and I cancelled it to do this instead! Very expensive...,but when it comes to your face, you need to pay for the best!

October 5, 2016
And the best she is!!! You're young...you don't have to do anything for awhile!!! I'm older than you. ;-(

It's been 15 days. I went back to work at day 6 with eyeglasses I bought for camouflage lol nerd chic. Haven't worn makeup because I'm trying to follow the rules to a T. I also have not worked out because she said no gym for a month which is killing me. I'm seeing her in 2 weeks.

October 5, 2016
I'm not young. I'm 47. I have other things that bother me. You do not look old at all! You are beautiful and seem to have a young spirit which is everything honestly!

October 5, 2016
Thank you for your kind words! I feel that the doc has helped me restore my youth both physically and mentally! She certainly has helped me feel more glamorous! :-) I am always wearing a smile on my face

October 5, 2016
I just saw your other response. I also work out everyday, and it is something that is hard to give up after surgery. Follow her golden rules, and you will be glistening soon!!
October 5, 2016
I hear you! I'm not even healed yet and I feel more confident and happy!




October 14, 2016
Hope you're doing well. Just thinking about you and wondering when you see the doc again. Good luck.
October 14, 2016
Haha! We should have lunch and talk about procedures. I'm on day 24. I'm still a little swollen but super excited!
October 14, 2016
I've been crazy at work but I'm going to try to see her in about a week for my one month checkup. I hope all is well with you. I went back to the gym yesterday and it felt great but I'm sort of easing back into things

October 14, 2016
Gym time.....whooo hooot. Glad to hear you're on the mend! I'm going next week, too! ;-). You've got to tell her that we're "Real Self Buds". She'll get a kick out of that.
October 14, 2016
She definitely knows me lol! I'll text her and let her know! Too funny! ❤️❤️❤️

October 15, 2016
This was my first procedure with her. I consider her a friend now! I'm seeing her this week for my follow up.
October 15, 2016
By the way, in this newest photo you posted you look super foxy and 20 years younger than your actual age. Do you watch your diet like I do? I try to eat mostly a Mediterranean diet with lots of greens nuts and fish.

October 15, 2016
Ha ha. We do become friends with our doctors, especially lovely ones!! Do you seriously text her? I too, eat very healthy. No red meat, lots of nuts, tons of egg whites and every vegetable there is!!! I exercise everyday religiously! It gives me a mind and body connection.

October 15, 2016
Awwwww. Thanks for the compliment. I feel like I'm younger than my age. Like you, eating healthy, is the key


October 17, 2016
Oops. Good luck with your follow up appointment. I'm sure you are "rocking" that new youthful look

October 24, 2016
Hi there!! How was your follow up appointment?? Are you basically healed up already? I'm sure you're looking gorg!! Do you need to see doctor again? Normal activities?? Gym time!!!! ❤️
October 24, 2016
Hi there! My appt was great and I'm feeling awesome! I'm almost all healed except for a tiny area of swelling. I'm back at the gym and so thrilled with my result! Thanks so much for asking! ❤️

October 24, 2016
The next thing I'm going to do is possibly a few fillers for some facial flaws and perhaps a bit of botox. Thoughts? Downside of a fitness regimen is loss of facial fat.

October 24, 2016
I started fillers a couple of years ago. I, too felt my face was thinner from running and needed to add volume. I only do it yearly.
