Disappointed & Frustrated - Beverly Hills, CA

I went in wanting more of a neck lift than a mini facelift. I had a wrinkled turkey like jowl from years from sun damage and aging. My face itself looked ok. I was told that the life style lift would tighten my neck area. During the surgery it appeared to me that the doctor was doing a routine lift and neglected the area I was most interested in fixing, under the chin. After surgery he said give it time to heal and you will see continual tightening over time. With every checkup he would say it looks great and I wouldn't see any difference especially to the loose skin under my chin.
I went back a few times and asked what I could do about the area I wanted fixed that never showed improvement and they told me that my doctor had left the group and I would have to pay the full price (more now) to have it fixed/redone. They don't guarantee their work and I am frustrated to have paid all that money and still look the same as I did before it was done. My jaw line looks great but that was fine before surgery and now my jowl area only looks and gets worse overtime. Be very carefull when choosing a doctor and find out as much as you can about his work both good and bad feedback from others before making a decision.

so that we can discuss your individual concerns.
Please note that Dr. Simoni does not work for Lifestyle Lift so we would like to find out more about this situation.
I think your experience was a direct result of lack of communication, and each of us must advocate for our own selves, dont allow a surgeon who is harried or filled with attitude to touch your face. You can at any time put your hand up and say 'stop.' My experience with Dr. Robledo in Scottsdale was incredible and in part because I asked many questions, was completely prepared and he never one time didn't have time for my questions or concerns, and he even pushed my surgery out a month until he felt I was more ready (in my weight loss progress). It is about communication, plain and simple, so sorry you had a bad experience with a less than top notch surgeon. Hope you are still able to enjoy the benefits of your LSL because you look fabulous!!!
I hope you would not just lie to stop good people from getting help they may serious want from a surgeon they trust.....
Regarding the phone number she posted, I decided go Google that phone number, and I suggest you do the same. The phone number “she” provides is (866) 739-2387, which is 866-SEX-BETRA, and showing to be registered to "Turn on Beverages, Inc." 1581 Rte. 202, Ste. 209, Pomona, NY 10970, (845) 354-7720; (866) 739-2387. Turn on Beverages, Inc. is a distributor of drinks designed to stimulate sexual desire as indicated by their website: “Turn On Beverages Inc. …stimulate the romantic passion in men and women of all ages.” and “We are preoccupied with the spirit of idealized lovemaking and dominated by inspiring passionate thoughts, feelings and attitudes suitable for romance in our customers.”
I will ask Latania here to please disclose, in front of everybody here, the date the phone number she posted was acquired for her purpose. Additionally, I ask Latania to also disclose why this phone number was not previously professionally set up prior to posting for sincere LSL victims to call. Also, anybody who does call, please keep us up to date your experience with the phone call.
We have spoken to Latania. She does work for Lifestyle Lift and she has our permission to post here on behalf of the company.
I'm assuming that phone number previously belonged to a beverage company but has since been resold to Lifestyle Lift (I believe you buy 800 numbers?).
Hi socalgal -- I'm so sorry to hear about your results. Did you have a Lifestyle Lift or another type of mini lift (I couldn't quite tell from your review)?
