“My doctor in atlanta did a great job!”
Lifestyle lift: Worth it
Cost: $4,300
Pain: Mild
Pain: Mild
Lifestyle lift satisfaction: Excellent
I recommend my Lifestyle lift provider: Sign in or join to view provider name
Why: My Dr.treated me like a friend and not a number or patient. She has wonderful credentials and I would refer anyone to her.
I had my lifestyle lift done in Atlanta on Sept. 2, 2009. The procedure took one hour and I felt no pain only pressure. My Doctor was great, she talked to me the whole time and her nurse was wonderful. The most uncomftrable thing was the wrap they put on my head for the first 24 hours and that was removed the next day.
I saw the results immediately!!! I am 53 years old and have been told that I look 40!!!!
There is some numbness around the ear area, but I was told about this by my Doctor before the procedure. I followed all instructions about how to sleep and I had no problems.My skin is smooth and youthful looking!!!
Thank you

Glad that worked out for you. Please give us an update in a few months. I was initially happy until I realized the numbness on one side was permanent and so were some of the scars and puckering that the doctor told me would correct itself in time - it's now been two years.

You're one of the lucky one's. Please take a look at what happened to me and I did everything I was told. The following article was in yesterdays newspaper. I live in the Daytona Beach, Fl. area and this was my Doctor. {content removed}

It seems that when someone has a good experience, others wish them misery by citing negative news articles. Why do you want to destroy their happiness? Just because some have had bad experiences, doesn't mean that they need to tell those who have GOOD experiences they are the exception rather than the rule. Why can't you just be happy for them? I guess misery loves company. I will be getting the Lifestyle Lift in Albuquerque sometime next year, and they have just been named the #1 Lifestyle Lift Center in the country, Top Doctors, Top Performance, Top Everything. So I feel good about that. I hope you will be happy for me if I am satisfied with the results. If I am not, you can then say "I told you so." But I prefer to be encouraged by the good experiences here, rather than the bad experiences.

I am pleased that Dr. Whitacre made you happy. I was her patient too. I wish my results had beed as painless as yours. I also hope that after 10 months you aren't sagging again. Dr. Whitacre was decent, I cannot figure why she works for this corporation.
