What exactly IS the Lifestyle Lift? No one will tell me.
What does it entail? Is it a surgical procedure involving cutting and sutures? Is it the purse-string procedure? How long does it last? Do you have the "wind-tunnel" look afterwardd?

Thank you both for your answers on "What a LSL Is". Shrouded in mystique and half-answered questions from the staff along with the commercials and advertising, lead people to believe that NBC, CBS, ABC and a lot of other TV stations back LSL. This is not true (it is all advertising dollars). All women should investigate their doctor and see work that he has done and also be able to speak to the doctor before the surgery. As Dr. Karim Jafri points out, this surgery has been around since the 70's. And as Dr. Prendeville points out, the cuts they make in front of your ears is what makes your ears longer -- your ears is not meant to support the weight of your neck. TY, Chrystal Eckes.

Thank You Doctors for telling us what was done to us!! Two years later, I finally get an answer. Never was I told I'd be cut in this way& I am having so many problems w/ tightness& pain, I am in a neurologists care. I've been to several doctors that didn't have a clue& couldn't help me. I was put on Lyrica & It's way too strong for me& I hate taking it. Can this be sucessfully reversed? I also have under my chin, an area that's pale white& under that tiny red dots to my collarbone (approx.) So, my muscles are folded & sutured near my ear? I can't believe LSL wouldn't tell me this, so I could get good medical help!
