Not Worth It
Spent: $7,000 in Beverly Hills, CA

To all of you out there I have to warn you that lifestyle lift result is dependant on the doctor only. If you have an experience doctor you get better result. I had lifestyle lift in the Beverly Hills office. I loved my result. So I sent my friend to have the same done. I did not know that Dr is no longer working there and went on his own. My friend had lifestyle lift by another doctor there. She looks horrible. I found out later that the other doctor was not even board certified. So be aware. I referred other friends of mine to Dr  later on. They loved their results.

Has anyone contacted the BBB or ABC7News.com on your side?I do have their Lifestyle report from the BBB and it states they have 6 cases brought to them in the last report and one case was unresolved.That would be my next step. I am afraid to go back to have the scar that shows below my ear fixed. I am afraid my earlobe will be detached and sewed back on to my face to remove the scar. I do feel the doctor that is suppose to be doing the fix does do good work.He had to correct the left ear from the first surgery by detaching my lobe. IT does look better and he did good work, I did have a big crevice behind the ear and he made it better. I guess I am lucky they are wanting to help correct the surgery.The legal office has also been calling me but we haven't got anywhere because the legal dept can't tell the doctors what to do.Now I have one sewed on and the other not. I will ask before I agree to this and ask if he can do it without detaching my lobe.If they will do it.I wish I could post pictures but don't know how to on this site. My pictures do look like everyone else that has posted their pictures.

It doesn't matter if they have the fancy certificates. I had the most respected, renowned doctor at the San Mateo office perform my surgery.I have now heard the speech about him twice now.He is the best. The surgery was the worst experience and the results bad and maybe life pain. Now I am being patched up by one of their other doctors.He is a better doctor I think. One more patching to go.

Oh Geeez, This is really scary stuff. I just logged on after watching an add on TV. I've been considering this for a long time but what many of you describe is nothing like what they say on TV. This sounds terrifying and painful and the last thing anyone wants is to have to be patched up after. I think I'll stay away from this idea of a Lifestyle Lift and just seek out a well known plastic surgeon that has been in the face lift business for many years. Any recommendations? I live in San Luis Obispo, Central Coast of CA.

I had a regular face lift ($5,000) about 12 years ago which was okay. I'm considering the Lifestyle Lift, but have seen numerous complaints about it. I'd like to know which doctor is best.

Dr Banthia in San Mateo was good. He cured my TMJ. It was worth being cured of that.I couldn't eat without pain. He lifted my jaw muscles. Wonderful! He did not lift the skin on my temples enough so the skin tucked in my ears is a little too thick. I do recommend him. Also, this was my second surgery done in this office by another horrific butcher. I persisted with the help of my daughter and got Dr. Banthia to do it over again. I still have the first scares behind my ears from the first doctor. I would travel to see Br. Banthia and have him do it for you.He should be a TMJ surgeon.

Drive to see Dr. Banthia in San Mateo if he is still there.
