Is this lip flip technique something that other plastic surgeons would know about? Meaning if I go to my PS and ask for it would they know what I am talking about? Or is done with Boxtox?

I'm sure other plastic surgeons would surmise what you're referring to, but IMO, no one can master this flip like Sweis does. It's a special technique that she uses with fillers that give a flip to the upper lip.

I must say that Dr. Sweis is a master injector that specializes in the strategic placement of fillers that creates this magical lip flip that leaves you with a natural plumper lip. I always leave her office feeling soooo refreshed and Ran-newed!! She's a great doc on so many levels!

Doc of the Year! Yes!! Dr Sweis i so awesome! Your face is a work of art thanks to her!! I need to know more about the lip flip w fillers!? For some reason I thought it was done w Botox? Tell me MORE!!!!

Yes, Sweis is deserving of the Doc Of The Year, at least in our opinion!! :-) I'm assuming that she uses just filler, if my memory serves me correct! But, I'll get the scoop next week when I actually get the flip. I may have to pm you (wink wink) giving you the "secret" to her sort after flip. It's highly confidential. She is notoriously famous for this sacred flip!!

Ha. I do call her office The Sanctuary! I just have a feeling of euphoria after I leave there knowing that The Doc has added another layer of beauty to my face!!

Count me in!! Dr Sweis is certainly worthy of the Doc of the Year award. She is a true artist. How lucky you are to have a doc who you can completely trust and to feel like you're in a sanctuary on your visits. Can't wait to see the lip flip xx

Yes, she really does merit that award in my opinion. I feel lucky to have a plastic surgeon who I can trust with providing me with the best care. She's a great doc on so many levels.

Wow - you did it -howabsolutely beautiful you are. I gotta look into this voluma- a fresh lift gives us such happiness ;)

Hi Dallasgal! Thank you so much for the sweet compliment. Voluma is my new "go to" filler. It certainly did give me some extra definition to my face, and much happiness, like you mentioned. May Voluma give you the same great results!!!!

I actually did 6 syringes of Voluma to achieve the look that I wanted. I'm extremely happy!! I also had Juvederm in my lips recently, but I'm feeling that I could use some more. I love a fluffy lip.

Please keep us posted! You look beautiful! I had a FL, NL and lip lift with smas augmentation to my lips 8 weeks ago. My face, lip and neck still feel so tight. Please let us know how your healing is going. Thanks!

Hi there!! Wow, you sure are a brave soul for doing all that surgery at once. My surgery was three months ago, and I still can feel some tightness in my face. Not too bad though. My neck was tight and swollen for only two weeks. Are you happy with your results? I never heard of a SMAS lip augmentation. Sounds interesting. My lips were tight for at least three months. I couldn't open up wide to eat or even brush my teeth. Did you see my lip review. It's all under the same profile name. My philtrum is nice and feminine looking now. It sure is a game changer. I looked up your profile but I didn't see any photos. You can ask me anything at anytime concerning plastic surgery. I've had NUMEROUS surgeries and I would love to help you!!

Oh, I forgot to ask....how long before your lip didn’t feel tight after your LL? I started using Biocorneum too!

Ha ha. You must have read my lip lift review. Thank you for following me. It really did take me at least three months before I felt somewhat uncomfortable eating hard to chew food. It must have been at six months where I was totally healed and got to really appreciate my lip lift. It's so much fun looking in the mirror and seeing a pretty smile with a shorter philtrum. Biocorneum is THE BEST for scars. OMG, I have tried every product but this is the bomb!!! My scar is invisible now. Oh... my name is Randi. You can continue asking me questions regarding the facelift etc etc.

Hello my beautiful friend! What are your thoughts on voluma in the cheek area providing a bit of lift to the lower face? My marionette lines still bother me a little, but I don't plan on another lower face lift for at least two more years. HUGS!

Hello My Friend!! I had Six (!) syringes of Voluma in the course of two months awhile ago in my cheeks. It was rather expensive, but definitely gave me cheekbones! It's a lift.. sans surgery if that's what you're looking it. It helps to correct age related volume loss. I say... GO FOR IT!!!!

I have no bruising or swelling from the two syringes that Dr. Sweis used on my face. I really think Voluma is a very natural looking filler and is definitely worth the extra cost for this dermal filler.

I think max time I’ve heard 2 years, but maybe more like 18 months? Glad things are going well .
