About this episode
Dr Ben Talei is a surgeon in Beverly Hills specialising in facelifts, rhinoplasty and periocular surgery, and he has become world famous for his own modified approach to the surgical lip lift.
The lip lift was first described in 1973 but never took off because of unpredictable outcomes and unacceptable scarring. Dr Talei has revolutionised the procedure and trains other surgeons in his technique. As both an injector and a surgeon, he offers unique insight into the limitations of lip fillers and when surgery should be considered.
We discuss why surgeons should learn injectables, lip ageing and volume loss, how overfilling changes lip anatomy, assessing tooth show and lip length, choosing between filler and a lip lift, common mistakes, what happens during surgery, recovery, scars and treating younger patients with overfilled lips.
