Lifestyle Lift recovery. How fast and normal results?
I had a Lifestyle Lift on July 12. Today, July 18. I am still experiencing swelling and pain especially on my right ear. The swelling is very hard and is causing me discomfort when sleeping. Is this normal? How long does it really take to recover from the life style lift procedure? Do you have any reviews or comments regarding this procedure?

I've looked through the LSL site and I can't find a description of the surgery. Can anyone tell me where they cut? I'm a singer like the other lady and I could not handle permanent unnatural tightness.

It looks like the information on how this procedure is done is a top secret. All I can find is general phrases and before and after photos. Can somebody please help me to find out what is actually done to one's face and how is it different from the traditional face lift?

Ladies go to see the NBC10.com website, watch the 3 segments I told Hank about. If that doesn't help, they also have video of a REAL LIFESTYLE LIFT SURGERY. It's graphic but shows you what happens. You are all right, they give no info on the actual surgery only the result. In the office they do the 'face pull' to show you how you'll look, which did not come true for me and many others I now know after seeing the NBC story.
Be careful.

I'm 45 years old and thinking about having a LSL, I live in New Jersey, I have had a consultation and my doctor that would be performing the procedure is Dr. Sharma, has anyone had a LSL done by him before? If so how were your results and recovery. Thanks

I have heard of this procedure but I am not sure if I want to look into now that I have read so many negitive things about it. I live in the Dallas/Fort Worth area and I am 48 years old. Is there anyone out there who has had this done in Dallas or could recommend a good plastic surgeon?

Typical healing times for the lifestyle lift is 2 to 7 days. This depends on the health of the patient, and a number of other factors. Every procedure is customized to each individual base on their age, medical history and amount of sagging skin. It is always best to talk to a doctor rather than direct questions towards anonymous posters. Your case could be, and most likely will be, different than the next person. Since pain and swelling is dependent upon each clients expectations, that too is subjective. For instance, if you have had a cosmetic procedure in the past you might think the lifestyle lift isn't bad at all. However, if you have never had more than a cut on your hand, you might think a facial procedure is uncomfortable. Again, rather than use a forum to get anonymous answers, wouldn't it be more reliable to simply talk to the doctor? You may need some patience as doctors are taking care of other patients, but it doesn't cost anything and you can get accurate answers.
