Phoenix Lifestyle lift discussion

Tammy I am sorry I never got back with you. I have been ill with viral pnemonia and did not make it to my appointment. I would like to reschedule. I am still looking for anyone in the Phoenix Metro area who have had the LSL and have anything to share. {edited} Nancy01 Editor note: To contact a person on this site or to discuss a specific experience with a doctor please use private messaging.

I would not recommend the lifestyle lift to anyone anywhere, especially in the Phoenix area. I would like to have anyone contact me who has had it done there, and is unhappy with the procedure and the results. Am only a few months out and already drooping and sagging. It is not worth all the money I paid for this. They need to refund the money so I can go to qualified cosmetic surgeon to do it over the right way. This procedure is nothing like it is presented in the video and the so called consultation with high pressue tactics. I could go on and on about my experience, but they probably wouldnt let it go through. Please contact me. Sincerely, C

I had my procedure Jan 14 2008. I felt like I was part of a cattle line after procedure was done. Went to get stitches out and said to the girl I would likre to see the Dr, as I have some concerns, like new indents in my chin area. She said I would need to make an appointment to see him. I said this is my appointment. Well, I have never seen the Dr again or did I receive the phone call I asked for. Still waiting and it is March. I had to take an additional weeks vacation, as I work in retail and was not ready to do any of the work I did. I was still very swollen. I am still having trouble behind my ears. They seem to stay irritated, feels like I have 2 deep inset pockets that stay irritated. Everyone tells me its the scars. I cannot see them but will tell you it is very annoying and irritating. I want to itch and rub, but I know I cant do this, so I keep mederma on it. Gives alittle comfort, not much. I don't believe they are very honest about what happens after your procedure. I see very little results. People still guess my age, which is 54. The youngest people will say is 49. I would never have this procedure again. Lets just say, they took my money, cut up my ears and now left me hanging, because they don't care after they get your money. Yes, I left my procedure to have my stitches removed, made several comments that I was upset. They all looked at me like I had 3 heads, didnt say a word. The girl that removed the stitches said I'm sorry, I don't understand myself that you cannot see the Dr, but this is how they do things but she would let the office manager know how upset I was. Well to date, I have not heard from anyone. I went to my family Dr to have a stitch removed that was left behind. I would love to do a commercial for the truth of what to expect. I had 2 children natural, so I can tolerate pain. This was torture!!! Had my procedure done in Phoenix Arizona at the 22nd street and Camelback location. I believe this is the only facility in Phoenix at the time I had procedure done. Sincerely Diane

Comment to Azlady. I would like to contact you. You are not alone in your grief over this procedure. Please e-mail me at {edited}. There are several of us who have had bad results there at the Phoenix location. We need to contact channel 3 or 5 or 10 or 12 to get some exposure to these people and the false advertising that they do. Please get in touch with me . If they block out my e-mail, then e-mail me back a comment on this web page and we will figure out a way to get in touch. I had my procedure done in January also..

Can you give me current feedback on how you are now with the results.

Who did you have and are still having issues. Recommendations?

Have put down a deposit. Who was your Dr. and where are you currently in your recovery? Now that the swelling is gone is it what was expected?

Who did your procedure. Looking to have this done with Dr Robles.

My procedure was done by Dr. {edited}. Dont know about Robles. Only know that this procedure does not last. Its not worth the money, much less the agony that you go through with all those needles injected into your face. Its horrible. These people are not reputable. You need to spend the money and go to a real cosmetic surgeon, not these fly by night scammers. Editor note: you must be contacted privately with doctor recommendations and feedback.

Diane, We all need to call channel 3, 5, 10 and 12 where they run their phony commercials. It is such false advertising. I have an e-mail address that you may be interested in if they let it go through. Its not mine, but a very important one for all of us to contact...Hopefully there will be a class action suit filed. I am in Cottonwood. Are you in Phoenix? Lets figure out a way to make contact. Also I know a few other upset victims of this scam who want to do something to expose these people... CJ

Diane.....Your comments above mirror mine exactly. I too felt as though this whole event was nothing but a cattle call. I arrived for my consultation appointment only to have to wait close to two hours before being seen (I justified the long delay as a fluke, something that wouldn't happen again especially in a professional field such as this). Decided to go forward with the procedure, paid the charges and left with much apprehension. Day of the procedure (11/07), drove two hours to arrive at the required hour prior to the procedure. NOTE: As instructed, I ate prior to arriving at the Phoenix office building (procedure scheduled for 1:00)....five hours later, I'm called in to be prepped. Two and a half hours later (now 7:30 p.m.), I'm told I can go home. The attendant sits me up and I almost pass out, gee could it be I hadn't eaten for over nine hours while WAITING for my procedure to begin, then another two hour drive home. Returned to have stitches removed and asked to see the doctor as I had a very large lump on my neck (size of a large walnut). After being looked at by three different techs, the doctor finally came in and said it looked to him to be a stitch that must have come loose... nothing to worry about, use moist heat. I had two other concerns but was told that I had to make a separate appointment to see the doctor. I did as I was told (like cattle do), made the appointment, drove two hours only to wait over two hours. In response to my inquiry as to how much longer the wait will be, I was told it would be another 45 minutes or longer. In my opinion, this is totally unacceptable and unprofessional. Never did see the doctor and after eight months since the procedure, the jowls are sagging, skin is very loose and areas behind my ears are lumpy and sore to the touch. I removed the stitches that had surfaced prior to my scheduled, separate appointment to see the doctor. Once they had my money, I was just one a number, no longer a person and the personnel (including the doctor) no longer had an interest. I made a mistake and hope this website will keep others from doing the same. Mary

I am thinking about this , and have paid my deposit,I am not sure now who was ypr dr? was the office on camelb and 22 st?

I haven't been to this guy, but I would be very careful not seeing a plastic surgeon. How much is he ogin to charge you? Anyone know of any ways to get insurance to pay for any of this? LOL

I am wondering if you had Dr. Martin do your procedure as you posted on Jan 12, 2007. Please let me know how it went and if you are satisfied with the results.

Cadence did you go through with the lift? If so what were your results.

Yes Tee, I did have it done and am sooooo upset over the results. After 4 months the jowls were sagging and a lot of puckering under the chin where the lipo was done. Also now still have numbness and pain on right side of face and ear area where Martin had to redo the shots. He left the room in the middle of the procedure and the numbness had worn off by the time he got back which was a good 15 minutes.. So of course I had to endure more of their wonderful injections that they dont tell you about in the beginning. Their advertising is so false and they need to be held accountable for their high pressure tactics and lies. Contact me. I am in Cottonwood and last name is Nisly CJ

Have had it done in Phoenix and am not very happy with the results. It was not a pleasant experience. Cost was high. It was not worth it!!!!!!!!!! Wish I had known about this website before I decided to go that route.

Had my procedure Jan 14th. Not happy at all!!! I felt like I was cattle that just got butchered. Never saw or recieved a call back that I requested from to speak to Dr. Still havong alot of irritation behind my ears, feels like I have deep inset holes that keeps getting irritated. I'm 54 and I keep being told I look 50. Not what I expected from the procedure lol. I actually had people tell me I looked younger before lol. I at least had people say 48 before the procedure. I just hope the irritation will go away, alot of money for this annoyance. arizlady
