“Lifestyle life ultimately not worth it - revised with a true facelift”
Lifestyle lift: NOT worth it
Cost: $3,600
Pain: Uncomfortable
Pain: Uncomfortable
Lifestyle lift satisfaction: Poor
I lived with my Lifstyle Lift for 3 1/2 years before I had it revised with a true facelift. Over time, the scars got worse and very much visible.
I was told that Lifestyle lift is a skin lift and doesn't help muscles - for this reason my scars increased because the skin was being pulled as the muscles loosened. Also, the doctor gave me pixie ears which got corrected in the facelift. One side of my face was scarred and behind the ear was horrible.
All is resolved now and you can't even tell that I had a facelift! :)

Congratulations on having the revision done and I am glad that everything worked out well for you! Unfortunately there are many LSL women that cannot afford to have the revision due to money issues and still paying on carecredit, etc. Many women no longer trust doctors after having the LSL, this is unfortunate because not all doctors are like the LSL doctors. I would like to ask you a question. The $3600, was that for the LSL? Best, Chrystal Eckes.

My original surgery was 2 years ago. Four months later didn't seem to hold up, so 'the doctor'talked me into doing it a second time and this time doing another procedure as well(lipo of the couble chin and stiching). Why didn't they just tell me about that the first time around so I wouldn't have to go under the nife a 2nd time. What Dr. did you see for your real facelift?

the $3600 was for the LSL and tightening of the plastymal muscle under the chin with some chin lipo. FYI

Are you sure about that price? That's very low? What's the name of the dr you had?
