I think a class action lawsuit is in order!!

By Elk Grove5449 on 26 Apr 2011

I have never had such a horrible experience in my life, and still after 2 years am traumatized by thinking about it. I still have horrible scars, difficulty hearing, knots in front of my ears, a huge scar under chin, and an open oozing hole on my neck that occasionally string pops out and I have to cut it. I have complained to the medical board and they have sent a special investigator out to talk to me. Please, dont have it done if you are considering it. They are back-alley butchers and it didn't make any difference, and you could very easily die on their chair as there is nothing monitoring your heart or blood pressure. All they give you is a couple vicadin and a valium. Believe me, its a slice and dice get it while you can operation.

Please, please let me know who you contacted and what boards. My mother had the procedure in March and it has been a nightmare. She is in so much pain and is scarred and embarrassed. She is in the medical community and did so much homework. When I went in to pick her up and it was all I could do to not burst in tears. She was bleeding from her eyes and everywhere and they had her sitting in a room of strangers staring at her. She is still in pain, has terrible scarring. I wish I had done more homework for her.

is there a lawsuit?
Swann34 4 May 2012
I am so sorry about what happened to your mom. I had the procedure roughly seven years ago and I still have nightmares about it. I have big scars under my chin and behind and below my ears..they sometimes start to itch and bleed. I thought it was going to be a piece of cake and I'd be back to work looking great in a week or so. NOT !!! I was out over six weeks and probably should have been out even longer. Believe me..I did the homework..and it truly seemed like the way to go. So don't think you didn't do yours. They make it seem so easy and wonderful on the commericals, it's no wonder we were all fooled. I agree with the lady who commented previously, we should try to get a civil suit against the company. They need to be stopped.

If it sounds too good to be true, Vicky...it is. I had mine done in West Palm Beach Florida. DON'T USE LIFESTYLE LIFT...get a doctor that will do the surgery in a hospital. It is invasive surgery and all tests need to be run prior to the procedure. All Lifestyle Lift did was blood pressure. Should be against the law.

Vicki...that's the obvious that we all missed....too easy.

I am so GLAD I found this website! When you call the "800" number they don't give you any information. The website they sent you to doesn't give any information either, just leads to other websites... there is NOTHING describing the procedure other than the testimonials here.

Lifestyle lift requires a personal visit. I can appreciate that as everyone is different, but so many people have talked about the cost, the fact it doesn't last very long, and long-term scarring problems associated with it.

My sister's and I were going to pay for my mom to have this done as a "present"... so glad I found this website!!! Thank you!

please let me know if there's a class action lawsuit as i'm not satisfied with what was done. My sags under my chin/neck area (chicken neck) are still there and the muscles in my neck affect me each day with pain. I wrote letters to the Beverly Hills Lifestyle Lift Office and was ignored. My pre op appointment was just before the surgery and the doctor looked and felt my jowels and said all of this will be gone. He did the surgery and the sagging skin is still there. I think they should have redone the surgery. Thanks for listening~Jade

I would never want them to redo my surgery, I am scared to death to let them touch me again. I had the same problem you did, no results. Class action suit for me.

i ust turned 50 06/2011, i still have the same curvy body i had as a teenager, small waist and all, but i am ugly as the dickens, and now my face is sagging, i was excited about getting lifestyle lift, now im scared, i think i'll research home remedies, If you can tone your body with excercise there has to be some form of excercise for your face OMG! disappointed
Yungatheart 1 Mar 2012
There is. Bought it at qvc. It is a mouth piece and u exercise your face with it. I also had lifestyle lift and am not real happy with results. Bags under eyes but I have been using collegian and retinal to help compensate. Let me know about lawsuit.

I had the lift in Reston, Virginia in 2008. I am still paying this bill - $8,000. I looked better before I had the surgery. Now I can't hear and have ear itch and pain inside that is so unbearable, I can't sleep nor concentrate. Please let's hire an attorney for a class action lawsuit.
BQ Gotrocks 6 Feb 2012
I too looked better before the surgery. I saw on one of the posts to call that there is a place to contact an attorney for a class action law suit. 1-800-391-4318. I haven contacted them as of yet though.

I had the LSL done in Reston,VA in October 2011. I have a terrible scar from stitches coming through the skin on the right side of my face. I also have a sore behind my right ear and for all the money I paid I don't look much different than before. They had no problem taking my money, but now no one wants to talk to me. I am going to call the 1-800-391-4318 number. Maybe the more people that call something can be done. They lied to me in the consultation. Any reputable business would do whatever it takes to satisfy their customers. They won't even return phone calls. They don't care that my face is scarred and I paid all that money based on their lies. Also, their commercials say it takes about an hour, well I was in the back for 5 hours. My husband kept asking the receptionist if I was okay.

It's an all too familiar story, Sandy. You need to get in touch with your Attorney General Consumer Complaints Division and their Board of Medical Licensing as well. Also Florida States Attorney General has an investigation currently and you can contact Gregory Jackson or Jessica Scott 901-348-2720. Voice your concerns to them. This company is NOT allowed in every state in this country. They are only located in states whose laws are lax enough to let them come in. What does this tell you!
Marlene in Florida 1 Mar 2012
I will call that number. Corporate offered a re-do, but after talking to a different doc at same location, he doesn't give me much hope to correct all the problems. I waited 5 and a half hours to see him. Everyone in waiting room was unhappy, but one, and she had just had it done a few weeks earlier. Maybe picketing their offices would save a few unknowing clients from disaster. Maybe contacting Attorney General of the United States with signed petition.I still dont know what to do about my scar under chin, jowls, craters behind ears with odor, neck still wrinkly and a double chin that I didn't have before , below the awful scar, not to mention flipped up and out earlobes!
BQ Gotrocks 5 Mar 2012
I have now contacted the attorney that is trying to get enough response to see if they can get a class action lawsuit going.
Swann34 4 May 2012
I was in that chair being butchered for about 5 hours too. And I still remember the doctor talking to the assistant about how tired he was from his "late night out." I was under their "Dream Cocktail" and couldn't do much else but sit there and hope things would be ok.! I wish we could all band together and get a lawsuit going...

I will definitely call about the lawsuit. I, too, was lied to and have large scars and they sutured hair and llots of it into my incisions, so of course , that prevents any healing.
