I read your comments about your lifestyle lift on the internet. You seemed very forthcoming and honest. Could you explain exactly where your scars are and how they did this lift. I haven't as yet found any before and after pictures of this procedure on the net. Do you know of a website to see these? I live in Athens, Georgia and am thinking of doing something. I am 60 years old and I am ready for a younger face! Thank you for any more info or advice. Sincerely, Shirley White

I had the lifestyle lift in Atlanta on Dec. 16.  At first I thought I was going to be really pleased with the outcome, but the longer it has been, I am not able to see much of a difference.  My neck is sagging again and one side of my face is larger than the other.  I am getting really disappointed.  Check around before you spend your money.  I am so afraid that the surgeon that did my procedure will not do anything when I go back for a check up on March 3rd.  Good luck.

I had the lift done 2 yeARS AGO. OFFICE STAFF NOT VERY RESPONSIVE. I STILL HAVEN'T GOTTEN MY BEFORE/AFTER PICTURES, SO GAVE UP ASKING. PROCEDURE WAS PAINFUL AND LEFT SCARS THAT ARE STILL VISIBLE AND STILL ITCH, NEEDING APPLICATION OF CORTAID CREAM TWICE DAILY. THE SLIGHT IMPROVEMENT IN JAWLINE WAS EXACTLY WHAT I EXPECTED, AND I WOULD BE HAPPY IF I DIDN'T HAVE THESE SCARS. AS IT IS, PEOPLE STARE AT MY EARS, AND NOT MY FACE.

I am going for the consultation on May 2. I have read all of the Dr.s bios and have been thinking that I want Dr.Franco. I want to have the bags under my eyes removed as well as the sagging neck skin. Has anyone had the lower lids done and what was the cost just to get an idea? Also, after the surgery, do you have to have someone drive you home?

I had my lsl this afternoon with Dr. {edited}. I can't tell yet how my face and neck look because I am very heavily bandaged. I was very shaky after the procedure and for awhile when I got home. I ate some applesauce so that I could take a pain pill. I have been sleeping most of the time since I got home. I was nauseous but Dr. {edited} also prescribed something for nausea so that really helped. I am icing my face and neck. I had an additional procedure that required an incision under the chin to help with the "turkey neck". I also started taking Arnica Montana 30 that I got from the health food store. It is supposed to help with the bleeding,the bruising, and the trauma. I talked to the representative at the office and she said I could take it. I started taking it the day before the procedure. I will say that I was scheduled for my procedure at 1:oo and I had to wait about an hour and half later before things started happening. You may need to prepare to wait.
