Not Worth It

Spent: $1,500 in Maitland, Florida

I went in for platysmaplasty and all they did was put 2 stitches under my chin where both sides of it was skin hanging. I am suing them. This was at the Maitland, FL office.

Lift lasted 3 months. Westine, Ft. Laud, FL. AWFUL!!!

Sure helped me make my decision not to go to them and have anything done. Shame TV makes it sound so easy to have done. False advertising if you ask me.

Welcome to the board, good luck with your potential lawsuit. Let us know how all goes. Best, Chrystal.

UnHappy in Florida! Don't do it. I could not recomment Life Style Lift to anyone......and wouldn't. I feel like they falsely represent what the normal out come should me, its not at all like the pictures in there ads or there office. I have scaring and knots where I can not understand on the side of my face, had to chance my hairstyle to cover it. I went back into there office in Lake Mary, Fl. and was told they could fix it but for me to wait for 6 months. Its been 8 months for me and I'm too afaid to go back. Their customer service is limited to the point of nothing, the only time you will see it will be before you sign the dotted line. I should have known something was wrong a RED flag should have told me that when I ask for people to contact in my area that I could see and speck with their office couldn't reply. I have nothing good to say about them.....and it kills me to know I'm still paying for the procedure that was not worth it at all........! email me before you have it done.

Linda, did you finance with Care Credit? If you did and you kept all records, good pictures of your before and after procedure, there is a good chance that CC will forgive the debt. It has been done. Gatherer all your records, correspondence with LSL and what you have tried to get them to do and any thing that they have written to you and send all of that to Care Credit disputing the charges. I know of a lady in GA that CC forgave her debt and refunded all her back payments.

Does anyone know if there is a class action suit against these greedy quacks?

Desired Beauty (1 post) 25 Jul 2009

My name is Grace and I work for a plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills...Lifestyle lift is a service...They solicit doctors to sign up and they get referrals. It is you duty to check the doctor out. Ask to see HIS before and after photographs. The brochure you receive is out of hundreds of thousands patient, you see the best. If you can get the procedure done in a hour... You need to run very fast away. Who want a facelift done in a hour? Thats why you see track marks in the underlying skin. It all has to be dissected and released. So, if they are doing that they are hitting and missing...To be blunt.. Sorry for you experience. FYI, we don't do lifestyle lift. We do face and neck lift in the amount of 6 hours...Thats why it under $5,000.

I want to join with the many others who have been lied to. My scars are horrible and although they have agreed to re-do the work to fix them, I would not trust them to operate on me again. A terrifying experience! if you know of a class action suit, please notify me and count me in. Why hasn't the state shut them down. My procedure was performed in Maitland Florida Auggust 18, 2009...less than 1 year ago.

My Procedure was done in Maitland Florida too. My Doctor was Dr. Filiberto. I had the procedure done twice. The second time to correct the first one. Now I have scar tissue that's visible behind my ears. I don't understand why we can't sue these people or have a class action lawsuit. They should pay us so that we can go to a real professional and hopefully fix what they did. Please let me know if there is a class action lawsuit. And to those that are considering doing anything go to a professional, not to LSL!

have a 18 inch file on what they did to Did to me. THX

Ilene (10 posts) 6 Jul 2009

Casper...do you have an attorney? I have a file of all my before and after (ha ha) pictures, as well as the doctor's notes. I was so upset with the results that I cried in his office. He documented that I was depressed and that he asked me if I was taking my antidepressant medication!

McKen58 (164 posts) 7 Jul 2009

Believe it or not, according to a LSL former employee...the Drs and staff are told to tell you that...to make you think that YOU are crazy. Make sure you contact the attorney...I gave him your name on here:)

McKen58 (164 posts) 26 Jul 2009

Hi Illene....can you contact me directly at JolieDunham@aol.com?

casper (18 posts) 7 Jul 2009

By the time you get an attorney. The cost will blow your mind.I tried getting my money back from Ge credit. No response .Talk about depression ... Istill can't sleep@ nite . The cost of having this lift done has cost my husband and I close to Sixty thousand. I still have a problem with swollowing . I have no feeling on my left side of my throat and ear.. In fact I keep getting a popping sound in my ear. I could go on n on ..Whats the sense. I was told only people with problems with the procedure go on real self .... I'm thankful for this site

Ilene (10 posts) 7 Jul 2009

McKen was kind enough to send me the names and numbers of 2 attorneys, as has Bits. I'm not sure what their connection is, but I'm sure they will provide you with the same information. It's only a phone call. Why not?

Ilene (10 posts) 7 Jul 2009

Perhaps Bits and McKen can give you the names and numbers of 2 attorneys they've turned me on to.

Ilene (10 posts) 7 Jul 2009

I haven't called yet, but believe this is part of a class action suit.

casper (18 posts) 8 Jul 2009

Bits (359 posts) 10 Jul 2009

Where is earthgirl her problems seemed to have gotten extremely better. I may not be looking in the right spot on here. Would like to talk to her since she had the same Dr. as me.

Could someone please tell me if they know about a class action suit against LifeStyle Lifts? Also what is the statute of limitation for suing them? I am located in LA and had a horrible experience with their Beverly Hills office with bad results. Thank you.
