“Exactly what i wanted!”
Lifestyle lift: Worth it
Pain: Mild
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.

Please post a new pic about 3 months from now. My 1st surgery went very well just like yours. Three months later things went bad wrong and I'll be curious to see if yours stays as is now. You look great, what a difference.

Can't anynone say exactly what they did? Was there any type of laser involed? Was it threads? Was it just cutting and resewing like a traditional face lift.

Yes, cutting the top of your ear to the bottom, going backwards & up the ear again. Lots of painful needles, smell of burning flesh, hearing everything so close to your ears. Swelling, bruising. I would have rather been put out had I known this was what they were going to do.I was told a small incision in the fold of my ears.It is not small at all, in my opinion.It lasted about 6-7 months tops& I have a swen earlobe (to my face) and nerve damage. Constant pain. Just awful. Good Luck w/ whatever you decide, just check out your Doc carefully
