It is unusual that you developed this 9 months after the surgery. Only the surgeon will know the techniques that may be responsible for your symptoms and it is best to seek their advice. Having said that the rest of this is speculation. In my opinion there may be several causes. 1) referred pain: the pain may... more
Does this pain after Lifestyle Lift suggest nerve damage?
I had Lifestyle Lift done 9 months ago, and now I'm feeling severe pain in the ear and around the ear area. Is this nerve damage? What can be done about it? Never had this before the procedure, so I'm wondering what happened during the procedure to cause this. Thank you.

A: If the pain is new, check it out
If the pain is new in the recent past, even though you had the surgery 9 months ago, then it could be scarring from the surgery or some other less desirable cause. Either way, go back and see your surgeon. By the way, I have no love lost for the Lifestyle lift. I feel that it is a relic of a procedure, dusted... more

I am so happy there are honest doctors willing to tell the truth about Lifestyle Lift... LSL claims other plastic surgeons are just jealous and that is why they speak out. I think to be jealous of LSL would be delusional and I pray they get exposed for what they really are. A meat market that preys on people with their false ads of the best of the best plastic surgeons who really are not all plastic surgeons, but can look you in the eye to say they are.They promise immediate results and when you have ongoing problems tell you that ' it is normal '... They offer you revisions which to me is an admission of guilt(the procedure was'nt done right')..What doctor do you go to and if having problems tell you they need their 'Legal Department' to review our records before giving us our surgical reports?? Which, by the way, the founder claims each procedure is 'tailored ' for every patient,so why isn't there an actual surgical report that says what was done to us?? I never knew until one other honest plastic surgeon on this site, revealed 'What is a Lifestyle Lift'?? Over two years I finally heard what a lifestyle lift is after continuously calling& asking them what they did to me! I actually think the founder should spend time in the slammer for what he's done to us. We went there because they promise results. If we have slightly less skin , jowls,turkey neck, they claim it is a sucess.They try to make us look like disgruntled patients because we don't look 20 yrs younger. That's not why we went there& they have no right to create scars, pain & treat us like idiots to boot. I always thought of a plastic surgeon as a doctor that helps to diminish scars& defects, not create them. Where is their pride in their work? Where is their 'oath 'not to harm a patient?? Where is their compassion and honesty as a human being? I sure hope ' what goes around,comes around'.. It's my opinion some that work there are more devious than some criminals.. Again, Thank-You to the HONEST DOCTORS out there...
