Ep 173 When Lip Fillers Aren't Enough - Peri-Oral Aging & the Surgical Lip Lift | Dr Ben Talei

Episode 173 hosts Dr Ben Talei (Plastic Surgen based in Beverley Hills, USA) Ben specialises in face lifts, rhinoplasties, peri-ocular surgery and in particular, has become world-famous for his own modified approach to the surgical lip lift.  The lip lift is a surgical treatment that has come back into vogue after first being invented in 1973 - but it never took off due to the unpredictable outcomes and unacceptable facial scarring. Dr Talei has revolutionised this type of surgery and trains surgeons in his technique. Being an injector as well as a surgeon, Dr Talei offers unique insight into the limitations of lip fillers and when surgery should be considered. 00:00 Introduction 01:03 Meet Dr Ben Talei 04:55 From Reconstruction to Cosmetic Surgery   10:59 Why Surgeons Should Learn Injectables   18:27 Understanding Lip Aging and Volume Loss   26:25 How Overfilling Changes Lip Anatomy   33:29 When Filler Is No Longer Enough   41:37 Assessing Tooth Show and Lip Length   48:53 Choosing Between Filler and Lip Lift   52:09 Common Mistakes With Lip Treatments   61:45 History and Evolution of the Lip Lift Procedure   68:49 What Happens During a Lip Lift Surgery   76:38 Recovery Timeline and Healing Expectations   80:09 Risks, Complications and Managing Scars   86:34 Treating Younger Patients and Overfilled Lips   90:43 Final Advice on Realistic Lip Rejuvenation ALL IA LINKS & CONTACT INFORMATION
