“Not what i expected with lifestyle lift”
Lifestyle lift: NOT worth it
Pain: Severe
My wife had the lifestyle lift proceedure done 6 weeks ago and from day one has had nothing but pain, suffering, and a feeling of emptyness. After reading some of the comments on this web site I only wish we had read them before deciding to have the proceedure done. It is not reassuring at all to find other women having the same complications.
My wife trusted the Lifestyle Lift doctors and staff to be honest and caring throughout the entire program, but what we ended up with was a healing time that was not diclosed as well as never being told just how long the "healing" process takes. I think this company should be shut down immediately! I plan to write radio and television stations in hopes of getting some sort of exposure. The only problem is my wife refuses to be seen by anyone other than her grandchildren. What a shame for a beautiful woman 55 years old to be dealt such a negative blow by snappy commercials and flase promises.

I hope your wife gives it time. I'm the same age and I feel like a new woman. I had mine done six months ago. I was aware of the healing time and I am still healing on the neck. I have trouble understanding why people are not more realistic about this procedure. I think most people that write on this web sight are to impatient to wait for the true results. I had my face and neck done. I really do like both of them again. I still have lines around my mouth but, the procedure is not skin care. Anyway give it time and hopefully she will feel good about her looks and enjoy this part of her life. It has definately changed my attitude to being positive about being 55 years old and thank God I'm where I'm at.

Sorry to hear of this bad experience. May this be a lesson to others to RESEARCH the surgeons AND procedures, PRIOR to making a decision to under go, ANY kind of cosmetic surgery. I hope your wife feels better.

Thanks for posting your story. I feel bad for you and your wife but you really shouldn't try to go through this without some kind of help. Medically, I know that there are many revisions that can be done to help with the scars and other issues. I had to have my LSL redone due to complications with my eyes and ears. Emotionally though that is a tough one. I was very embarrassed that I fell for the marketing hype. I have found many friends here at realself that given me courage and just knowing that I was not the only one who fell for the hype. I just wish I had found realself before I had the procedure done 2 years ago. I hope anyone considering this procedure will also go and seek a 2nd opinion with an American Board Certified Plastic Surgeon before the make the final decision on LSL. Also remember when you are comparing procedures, compare apples to apples. Best, Chrystal Eckes
