Opinions on Success Rate of Lifestyle Lift?

My mother is thinking of having Lifestyle Lift done. I have read a lot of the posts from people who have had this done and I am now very confused. There are alot more negative posts than positive. I myself have had plastic surgery (breast implants). I did see negative posts, but I saw more positive ones (high percetage rate of sucessful segery) in this regard. I also understand that any procedure may go wrong. However, what would be your expert opinions with regard to the percentage rate of Lifestyle Lift positive results?

Facelift surgery

A lifestyle lift is a modified limited scar facelift often done by doctors that are not plastic surgeons. I would recommend a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon first to see what your options are..

Know what you are getting

Lifestyle lift is a procedure that is performed by different surgeons using different techniques. If you can identify a specific surgeon who performed a friends lift and can be reassured that he/she will perform the surgery, then you may be willing to proceed, otherwise I would urge caution.

Hi Tesla, I had the LSL 6 months ago in Phoenix. I looked great for about a month then it all began to "go away". Had I come here first I doubt I ever would have went to them. I fear that the 54% or so success rate may be skewed by women excited about initial results and then not posting again when it starts to "go away". It is a common complaint I've found, and also have probably read over 100 Dr. comments on the procedure and scarcely any one recommends it- some have made pretty good jokes about it also. I am one of the "lucky" ones who did not end up with an infection or horrible scars, or other damage.
