Lifestyle Lift has risks

Although Lifestyle Lift advertises a ' a safer procedure', there are risks when there is No Anesthesia provider in the facility.

Unfortunately, this is not the only case that has ended tragically for patients in their clinics. As with any surgery there are risks, so do your research before undergoing any surgical procedure, especially on your face. more

Safety is based is primarily the resposibility of the surgeon

Safety does not mean satisfaction. Like any other cosmetic procedure Lifestyle lift is safe when performed by an ethical and well trained surgeon in a safe environment on a healthy patient. I must add that there are many controversies surrounding the lifestyle lift as a surgical procedure.

Safety of lifetstyle lift

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 get their opinion.

Risks of a liftestyle lift

Any surgery carries risk. Lifestyle lift is not a defined procedure. It is performed by different surgeons. You must first meet with the surgeon, if you can. Then ask the surgeon about his/her specific technique and the risks involved.

Is lifestyle lift saf

Generally it is but the facilities in general are not accredited and no anesthesiologist is present for your safety and complete monitoring. I'd prefer an experienced Plastic Surgeon if I were you who has guidelines for safety set up by the state and federal goverment...See my video. see video

These comments are written by Plastic Surgeons who want to charge you double what LSL is.....of course they are going to tell you horror stories.....it means money in their pockets.....think about it.

another lifestyle casuality 12 Dec 2012

i would have gladly paid twice the amount if i had been told the truth about the procedure and the degree of healing. i DID NOT go to lifestyle lift because of the money i went because they told me it was minimally invasive with limited pain and little healing time. shame on me, i did not do my homework and simply believed them because i trusted them. i do not know what your experience regarding plastic surgery is but, this was not my first and i have never had a problem. well, 6 months later i am still healing and the pain has lessened but i am still uncomfortable on a daily basis. the surgery itself was the worst possible nightmare i could have imaged because i was wide awake and the dr was less than sympathetic when i went into a panic attack because of the extensive amount and degree of needles. after 5 months and 3 visits i finally saw a post op dr. that's right i didn't see a dr after my surgery for 5 months and only because i kept going back due to pain and swelling. there is no amount of money that was worth this experience and suggesting that these horror stories are fabricated due to money undermines our pain.
