If anyone has had bad surgery and has written about it on this site, keep in mind it is not the fault of the Lifestyle Lift but the fault of a bad doctor. All one has to do is look at celebrity websites to see some major botched up faces by some of the most expensive plastic surgeons in the world. I will post photos here; the first, my original neck and jowels, which weren't awful but I wanted to have something done before I got really bad. The second photo with my long straight hair and white tank top, I took of myself at ten days post op; I put concealer on to hide the bruises around my mouth, but you can see my neck starting to get yellow from the black and blue healing. The third one was eleven days post op, with my shorter wig, to hide my scars. The fourth was in England, 24 days post op, wearing a long wig to hide my scars. The doctor also did a little lipo under my chin. I'm very pleased! P.S. I am 56 years old! ---- Update 1-1/2 yrs post op: I will be 58 yrs old next month, and I look 40. I am still thrilled with my results. I have been reading some of the doctors' comments on these pages, and shame on them. They are giving false information, because they realize that the LS Lift has been taking the country by storm, and they are losing business. So they have sour grapes. Some of the misinformation they are giving, is that the LS Lift is not performed by 'real' plastic surgeons. That is a lie. All LS Lift doctors are board-certified plastic surgeons, and many had their own practices before joing the LS Lift team. Also, they said it only last 2 yrs or so, and that is another lie. The LS Lift, depending on genetics and other factors in a person's lifestyle, lasts fron 8 to ten years. Again, shame on all these plastic surgeons, who are posting misinformation to scare people. I would do it again, and I would not give my money to these expensive plastic surgeons who would post such misleading comments on this site. P.S. I do NOT work for the Lifestyle Lift.

I not only did not lose weight, I do not exercise, work out, nor did I get involved in any weight loss program.

I accept your apology.

Everyone has their own reasons for looking better, and I certainly had mine.I had a class reunion to attend, but as the time came nearer I certainly did not look like I thought I should and missed the reunion.I was devastated and when the Dr got word, he immediately called me in, did some extra perks and now I have new BFF. The Dr, and staff, Gay, Maha, Ryan, Denise,Betsy,Betty and Pamila made me feel and look so much better than I ever imagined! I would recommend every body to his office in Vegas! I love them and the results are marvelous. Thank you one and all. See you in March for a little touch-up!

Re the last message I sent (from Vegas)I didn't mention the Dr's name here in Vegas, wasn't sure if I was supposed to.....PLEASE contact Dr. Paul Lafranchi and his staff as they make you not only LOOK good, but make you FEEL like a million bucks. They are all angels and I feel GREAT!

I'm very light complected and was only going to take 5 days off work. I go into homes and take care of them so I don't mind them seeing me with some brusing and redness plus I shall use the derma-blend. But you say 2 weeks is that because you were still in pain or really swollen? I know we are all different but being 66 years old I know I shall take longer than most others would to heal. Also you were covering the scaring how long did it take for it to go away or at least say to the point of hiding it with makeup and not wigs? Thanks for your info Pam

You will not be able to take just 5 days off work. I am younger than you, and I was still a bit weak after 2 weeks. You may also be getting more work than I got. What exactly will you be having done?

I had to wear a wig after two weeks; the stitching cars around your ears will not go away for awhile. I will post some more photos to show you.

After five days, you will not be able to work, trust me.

Having the life style lift, full face laser, and brow lift. I'm an in home caregiver and don't care what my clients see, lol so having said that was it more physical of not being able to work, i.e. pain? What caused the weakness?

December 14, 2011
boy I hate to take off more than a week at most. Don't want the company to reassign my clients to someone else.

Guess I better go buy a wig, I have a real short pixi hair cut now.

Does the dermablend makeup they recommend really work good?

It's not a matter of what your clients will see (or the pain, which will be minimal); you could probably cover up your bruises with makeup. However, you will be very weak after all that surgery. You are having more done than I had. I had the Lifestyle Lift, a neck lift, and lipo under the jawline. And I remember when I returned to work after two weeks, I was feeling weak. Let us know how you make out. When is your surgery?

December 14, 2011
It is scheduled for the 24 of Jan.
I've been reading another site and it makes it all sound like it all a fraud and there a Doctors on there saying the same stuff. Now I'm confused. They say that the one in tampa is under investigation etc etc. I know that people sew for anything now. What is your insight into all of that? Oh its on RealSelf.com

Also is the weakness from the laser part of the procedures? As I had a full facelift when I was 40 (oh my 26 years ago, lol) and I didn't have an weakness?

I sure do appreciate all you help and information you've been so kind to give to me today.

And it's amazing to me that you're still promoting it after ALL THAT. They should be more honest in their advertising!!!!!!!!

One of my photos is ten days post op; I had to cover my bruises with makeup.

I also just posted a photo 11 days post op; wearing a shorter wig.

As I mentioned,the price is now higher than what I paid for, a year ago. I had my consultation two years ago, was quoted my price, and that was the price that was locked in, even though I had my surgery a year later, in which time I was able to save up for it.

Just an update! I had the Lifestyle Lift a year ago in August, and I am glad I got it done then--the price I paid is lower than the current price, as it went up. So keep that in mind!

I had the Lifestyle Lift, which is the bottom portion of the face, plus a neck lift, and some lipo under the jawline as well.

Wish you all the best!

Wonderful! So you had your surgery in Albuquerque? Who did your surgery?

I had the lifestyle lift 11 days ago. I think I look great, but the numbness is a little hard to get used to. I still have some bruising on the sides of my face, but am able to go out in public. I haven't told many of my friends I was doing this and am a little nervous about how they will react. I wasn't prepared for how this would affect my psyche, from feeling guilty about doing it to seeing the reaction of others. It's a BIG deal.

Peggyk, do you feel like you were misled by the way it was all presented to you and by the commercials and their literature? I'm curious about the happy people who didn't get harmed but are all ok about not knowing exactly how it was all going to really go down, the pain, the swelling, etc. Many people are appalled by what they ended up having to go through!

Peggy, I had numbness for 8 months--but everyone is different. Most of the numbness will go away after 6 months; and yes, it is a weird feeling. But I am so glad I got it done, and you will be too! Do not feel guilty--you deserve to look your best!
