“EXACTLY What I Wanted!”
I was a fat kid and young adult, but I've spent years working to remain at a healthy weight with a healthy lifestyle. But, I couldn't stop gravity. My face looked old and tired.
I saw ads for Lifestyle Lift - and began my research. I came to this site first and was disheartened to see the negative comments - so I kept researching - especially the surgeon. Plastic susrgery is, after all, all about the surgeon! I checked him out on an independent .gov website and found he was board certified and never had to pay out anything in malpractice.
Everyone was very nice and professional at Lifestyle. I spoke to a consultant first, then I spoke to the doctor a week before my procedure. I opted for the optional neck lift as well. The doctor explained everything he would do - and reminded me that this was real sugery and therefor I had to expect some recovery time.

i was asked to post photos after 3 months - these are 8 months after my Life Style Lift. Yes, there has been some relaxing (which I was told would happen - darn gravity!) but, my face now has my shape without the original extra sagging. I'm still very, very happy I had this procedure.

I was asked to send after-photos after 3 months - well, these photos are 8 months after my Life Style Lift. Although there has been some relaxing of the skin (which they said would happen since gravity & aging doesn't stop with any procedure)- I am still VERY pleased with the results.

I have already been to a local plastic surgeon, and he doesn't do mini-lifts, only full face lifts at an astronomical cost. I am 48, and simply have a fat face, which has only gotten worse with age. I need neck lipo (which the doctor here in Maine will do for $6500, but no skin tightening or removing, and with an eyebrow lift, which I don't want nor do I think I need.)
Anyway, I appreciate your comment and advice, and will research the surgeon thoroughly before making my final decision.
You look fantastic! I'm hoping you're still satisfied with the results.
