Hi Yvonne9, not sure you saw this, but on RealSelf there are hundreds of Lifestyle Lift stories posted by past patients. These may offer you some additional insights.

Thank You - I actually got a call from the Life Style Lift supervisor who said she wanted to make it "right" and urged me to come in for another appointment - This is, mind you, after the Dr. said that nothing else could be done - I came in and the Dr. asked me what my expectations were and I told him they were the same as before - To have definition in my neck area - Though he did not suggest another lift, he does suggest lipo so we will see what happens after that procedure - I am due to have it on Feb 9th - Will keep you all posted!

Read your post. After a very long time after seeing all the commercials I decided to make an appointment for lifestyle lift. But before doing that I looked around the internet to see if anyone was not happy with it. I read some horror stories and yet some say they are happy. Dont know what to do. Dont want to put myself out there for a quick lift or horror job. Need some advise. Thanks. Sherry

All I can say is get the Dr's name & investigate him thru medical boards, plastic surgery Assoc, AMA, your stat'e medical licensing Dept, etc. They seem to have alot of turnover, so maybe there are better doctors there. Just do your research, as you'd do w/ any surgery. I didn't know this was a surgery til I went in for the consult& then, was told it was a small cut in the fold of the ear, once healed, hard to see. That's not what I got or bargained for. They are not all P.S, as we think of P.S's. They are ENT's who have knowledge of the face, but because it is a one size fits all facelift, they do many in one day& are often rushed. That's been MY experience. I have seen some ppl happy w/ their procedure post here, but then again, there was some astroturfing down by LSL to get the happy percentages of this procedure to go higher on this website. They were fined in NY for having employees post fake results. Just be careful& get 2nd opinions, check out your Dr..

How about getting a 2nd opinion from another Doctor that is board certified in Facial Plastic Surgery. There are many doctors here at realself that have provided very good information on the procedure itself.

I saw the infomercial too and thought it would be a great idea instead of "regular" surgery. I wish I had waited and went to a real plastic surgeon. They said it could be done in an hour, bull&%$@. I was awake through the entire surgery, I could hear everything and smell my skin burning. The first night was the most painful thing I have ever experienced. I should have had drainage tubes but didn't, it would have cut down on the throbbing pain. After the surgery the staff played down how horrible it was and basically never validated what I was going through. I had the surgery in October 09,it is now January and I still have pain in the scars and they could have done a better job. I am ebarrassed to tell anyone I had a mini lift, because they look at me and go "really". I look at me and feel very sad because It only got rid of some deep lines on the side of my face but it still sags in my checks and I have in indent in my chin from where they did the neck lift. I beg you, I plead with you do not go to lifestyle life. Even if they were willing to do it again I would not go through that horrendous, traumatic experience again.

I am so sorry for your pain. I also had a lift. I The Dr. went out my neck with a laser! I still have pain in both ears, neck and face. I had a infection for 4 months following surgery! Did they put in 100 shots? I thought I would be asleep!! I was wide awake, feeling every shot and then smelling my throat burning!! I am looking for a lawyer.
Dianna.99 6 Jan 2010
I just posted my response and have one question. Basically lifestyle lift company lies, period. Has anyone successfully sued them?
9553anon 27 Aug 2010
I just had it on august 12th. I am post op day 15. I love by neck and jawline. I'm still a bit swollen and lumpy but it gets better each day. I was able to backto work on the 23rd. don't get me wrong I looked like a chipmunk, but it really does get better each day.

Not to my knowledge. There are several ongoing cases. 2 of which the women died, one in FL, she was left alone and died from over medication (speculation) after leaving the office, one died in the office after spending 20+ minutes without enough oxygen to the brain, no phones in the office??? There are a couple of others but my guess would be that we will never see of any "wins" due to the settlement clauses written by the lawyers. This does not mean other women have not tried to sue. But if you read the papers that LSL has you sign it basically states that not all procedures will result in happy customers.

Speculation = rumor
Chrystal Eckes (RealFriend) 15 Dec 2011
The woman is still DEAD!
Victim of Lifestyle Lift 19 Mar 2012
What's the rumor? I am from the WP Beach area, and did have mine done at the office where the woman died. That is a fact.
Chrystal Eckes (RealFriend) 20 Mar 2012
No rumor, you can google for Deltona woman dies from... If you cannot find the link, I can send it to you.
Chrystal Eckes (RealFriend) 20 Mar 2012
destiny, you are wrong about nobody dying after having a LSL and you didn't google it. One lady in Florida and another in the in north, both died. See the following links:

I am researching everything I can on Lifestyle Lift. Thanks, Dustymite

I guess it's different for everyone, but for me, a great success. Lifestyle Lift made it affordable and I love the results. I went to Troy MS and I'm pleased with the attention I received. It is not for the faint of heart and you do have discomfort....it is surgery after all. My face was numbed with a needle...that was the worst part. I did hear and smell everything but it did not bother me...(I'm good in a dentist chair too) As far as I'm concerned, they did what they said they would. I'm thrilled with how I look. (I'm 64 and look like I'm a young 50)
destiny1234 11 Dec 2011
Well said
destiny1234 11 Dec 2011
What I see is a bunch of people that did not research...."I thought I would be asleep" I thought it would not be like regular surgery" " I thought, I thought I thought" I investigated and read and is says...LOCAL not anesthesia, it IS surgery for crying out loud..OMG they are cutting the skin of course it is surgery.
People have died after having surgery by board certified plastic surgeons too....remember Kanye West's mother?
I searched and searched and could not find any reference to anyone dying after LSL..
And EVERY surgeon will have you sign papers and they will tell you that the results you get may not be what you EXPECT...because they have no idea of your expections.
I think most of the negatives went in thinking it was going to be easy breezy, no pain, no post op problems, no post op down time....NO REALISTIC EXPECTIONS.
Gabi1433 11 Dec 2011
I totally agree. Read and research. Everyone is different and the results will also be different. If you’re squeamish, don't do local..... go under. The needles were painful, but did not last long. It takes time to heal and you will have scars and numbness for some time. I love the results and I'm glad I had it done
Dianna.99 10 Mar 2012
That's all well and good, but I still firmly believe if one is going to get a lift of any kind it is better to do it with a board certified plastic surgeon....period
Victim of Lifestyle Lift 19 Mar 2012
Destiny; if you did not have the lift, just for your own sake, go to a LSL office. Tell me if you do or do not believe them. They lie right to your face, and you so believe what they say.
