I am planning on a LSL in Jan or Feb. I have been to the Tampa office for my initial consultation. Any regrets or second thoughts? Should I get a second opinion? MJ

I went for a consultation and was told that the LSL did not include tighting the muscles under the skin as stated in the advertisment, and that the skin would not be cut but folded over. I was told that the LSL is what use to be a "Mini Lift" and that what I needed was a facelift for the best results. A facelift for $8,400 with a mid face thread lift totaling $9,400. My second option was a LSL for $4,500, with lipo under chin and mid-face thread lift totaling $6,800. While I was having my pictures taken the office manager in which I later found out was the Drs wife told me that I was the perfect candidate (had great skin) for the LSL, but it was different when I got in the Drs. office. I was quoted $4,500 for the LSL but was told it wouldn't last long as it is the old fashioned mini-face lift that was done away with years ago because it didn't last. According to the ad the mini facelift of years ago didn't include the muscles and that is why the new LSL is much better and affordable. I was very discouraged when I left the office. I felt that the whole thing was just a come on to get you in the office and drive up the price. I was also told that the pictures are done up and realistically you will be out of work for a few weeks, which wasn't a problem, but I felt the whole LSL thing was a come on. Good Luck, just don't get your hopes up......as I did. And by the way,I was told that I would need a physical, complete blood work, and a EKG from your family practioner before surgery, I have insurance and have recently had a yearly physical but I am sure my Dr. isn't going to order and EKG just so I can have a LSL........or do blood work, so, another cost.

I just want everyone to check out this site and view ALL the videos. I had a consultation scheduled but I've since cancelled. http://www.nbcsandiego.com/health/10052581/detail.html The video speaks for itself, bad scarring, lumps behind the ears, 30 to 40 shots to numb the area, the area they cut is much bigger then they say. Whew! No thanks, it's not worth it! You may feel the same way when you view the actual procedure on the video. good Luck and I beg you to reconsider.

Has anyone had any comments on the Lifestyle lift performed by Dr. Swerdloff from the Tampa office. The bad things that I have read about that concern me about the LSL are the sutures coming through the skin and the skin drooping not long after the procedure.

My understanding is the LSL has been in use for about 8 years. Does anyone know of a person that had a LSL years ago or even a couple of years ago? If so how do they look?

Hi-I had a consultation at the Ft. Lauderdale office last year-I was impressed and even gave a deposit for my proceedure-Well...when the surgery day was getting near,I wondered why they didnt call to confirm. It seems they botched my dates up and I wasnt even scheduled! They were willing to fix it but I could no longer get a room in the area-since it was in the Spring. I was then less than impressed! Now from reading some feedback I'm glad not to have gone through it. Thanks soo much for this site-it was really helpful! dl
