Waste of Money in Nashville, TN

Not Worth It
Spent: $5,000 in Nashville, TN

I had the procedure and left with scars, webbed ear, etc., and paid extra to have the procedure done on my neck. It was a total waste of money. I look no different than I did before the procedure, except I will forever have the scars and the loan to pay off.

When I visited the doctor to ask for a refund he stated they prefer to do a second procedure. He also stated that a second procedure can be dangerous and if it did not take the first time, it will probably not take the second time around.

Now why would I want to have additional, worse scarring for no benefit. The doctor then told their corporate office that he thinks he could do another procedure. They contacted me and when I told them what the doctor said, they referred that I was lying because their doctor would not lie to them. Then proceeded to tell me the charge I would have to pay to correct their mistake.

I would have NEVER go through the pain, scarring etc. for no benefits and I would definitely not go through it a second time with the chance that it still would not work.

They seem to fail to tell you that when they taking your money.

This review is the subjective opinion of a RealSelf member and not of RealSelf, Inc.

My Doctor: Name not provided

My opinion is they fail to inform you that the procedure may not benefit you.

You should file a consumer complaint with your state's Attorney General's Consumer Realations Department and on the compalint form explain it exactly as you did here. I've had good results doing this in my state. When I told the merchant what I was going to do they said "Go ahead" so I did. Six weeks later they had to compensate me. You should also call the Federal Trade Commision (1-877-382-4357)and explain your complaint.

Hi Tina.....I filed a written complaint with the FTC about 4 months ago and have not heard a thing. Which state are you in?? NYS fined them but I am filing separately as well. There is also a Class Action suit.

I live in Alaska, we tend to get quicker responses from our state offices since there is less population than the larger cities. The FTC (Federal Trade Commision) is different from the Attorney General's Consumer realations division which is through your state. If you file a written complaint through your State's Attorney Generals office they should send you a letter letting you know how long to expect a reply. There is a process that takes place but it goes something like this: Once you file a complaint they will contact the merchant, let them know of your complaint and ask for an explanation. The FTC may have the phone # for your state and or a website you can go to to download a complaint form and it should come with instructions and important information. I hope this isn't too confusing. Let me know if it helped. Tina

I think that anyone reading these comments and going ahead with the procedure is nuts! The negatives FAR outweigh the positives. Scary stuff.

I agree,I was considering it, for the price I would get it done right!

please do not do this> I had it done and no results. Went back and had it done and still no results. All that for nothing not to mention the money.

Dear Small Eyes,
Do not get the LSL done in Nashville or anywhere. They are not careful who they allow to do proceedures. Most are otolaryngologists who take a few hours inservice to become certified to perform cosmetic surgery. They are not plastic surgeons. I could tell you my horror story, but it's too much typing. I can tell you more about why to avoid LSL or Quick Lift. Just remember what I forgot, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably isn't. Touch back if you care to.

Did you have your procedure done? If so, by how and are you glad? Thank you.

Be sure to ask if the doctor is a board certified PLASTIC SURGEON. Some of the Lifestyle Lift physicians are NOT plastic surgeons. I think many women just assume they are all plastic surgeons since they are doing work on faces.
I can't imagine letting someone other than a plastic surgeon work on a face.

I did ask, all there staff& the actual Dr. They all said YES>'Well, he wasn't. There is a 'play' on the words, Plastic Surgeon.Better to ask if/ where he was/is a Boiard facial Plastic surgeon.
smalleyes (12 posts) 14 Jan 2011
So true. I DO know to check to see if they are board certified. But, it's still tough to tell who's an artist and who's not.
