Episode 173 hosts Dr Ben Talei from Beverley Hills, USA.
Dr Talei is a globally-renowned Facial Plastic Surgeon. He 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.
