“Happy in florida”
Lifestyle lift: Worth it
Cost: $3,000
Pain: Uncomfortable
Cost: $3,000
Pain: Uncomfortable
Lifestyle lift satisfaction: Very good
I recommend my Lifestyle lift provider:
Why: fully explained everything and made sure i was comfortable as possible
Had mine done last June, and am quite happy. the scars are still quite visible though. Made a huge difference and would do it again.
My question is what makes the skin around my neck and ears, kinda of "mottled" looking, and they sometimes itch too. Should I come in for a follow up, or maybe a touch up?

Happy but won't give name of provider? How are you helping others if you don't fully explain and give the info needed to act on? That is why this board exists, to help others and you do not help if you only give part of the infomation needed. And you are happy with visible scars? Thanks but no thanks. I don't want to pay out a bunch of money for a job 1/2 done.

Excuse you sherryjean, I have plenty of clues. Look at my face on my bio page and then be glad that you are not in the same condition. Be glad that you only have scars behind your ears. Since you have not posted pictures and only have asked the question about your neck and ears, any answer that we give you can only be an assumption. My face also did a paper crinkle or mottled kind of thing under my eyes which was not there before my surgery. I was told that it was due from the skin being over stretched? The only other answer that I was given that made sense was that the skin was pulled from my neck in a direction which made the skin actually wrinkle up. (I also wound up with more wrinkles around my mouth than before surgery.) My skin itched like crazy behind my ears until I had the surgery redone 9 months later. I also had stabbing pains, couldn't talk on the phone use my glasses, wear earrings... but I never figured out what caused it. Now Bits on this board has more experience with the itching. She can probably help you more in that area. You can also go to ask the doctors a question area and ask there. Maybe they can help. By the way, nothing personal, only trying to give women the information needed to make an informed decision. Best, Chrystal

Sorry you had such a bad experience. I guess I just got defensive. Thank you for you input. Sherryjean

Sherry....mine was like that too...all behind my ears...bunched up, etc...and I had it done in Dec of 2007. I hate to tell you, the lift itself looked ok...you can't see the front scars...but here I am, two years later and I itch and have pain behind my ears and in front of my ears to this day. I kick myself all the time for doing this...because I could kind of afford it.....that is what LSL hopes...that you are lured by the lower fee.

I'm researching the LSL procedure. Could do it this year, but I'd like info from ladies who have had the procedure. My daughter-in-law said a string is used to pull and lift??? Where are thy inscions? Do the docs pull your skin up? Anyone have daqk circles cleared up? Thanks.
