ORIGINAL POST

Against my advice, my mother went for what she...

$5,500

Against my advice, my mother went for what she thought would be a "slight face lift" at age 63. She wanted to remove the jowls, tighten skin at the neck and a few wrinkles around the eyes - nothing major we thought.

Anyway, she hears about this life lift and just goes to Manhattan, and schedules a procedure. She decided to "just go do it".

Well, I can't begin to tell you the nightmares that have since followed. 2 days after the surgery, we had to take her to the emergency room in the middle of the night. Her pain was so severe, she felt that she would pass out. The doctor in the ER said she had a major infection going on that he believed was caused during the surgery, and the ensuing stitches.

So I know that can happen some time after surgery. She was put on massive antibiotics and finally the infection cleared up. Her face was bruised for weeks,
the jowly area was still jowly, and the wrinkes she had around her eyes looked worse than before.

We are considering taking legal action against these people. Please - if you know someone who is planning on going there, or if it is you yourself, do plenty of research before signing on that dotted line and giving them any money. I think they are dangerous.

Infection, pain, poor follow up, poorly done surgery

Yes you are right to want to take action, I have been waiting now for 2 years to hear that someone wants to take action, I had channel 5 news contacting me a few a year ago but they wanted me to go on TV, I would have if other people did it too. No one knows except my best friends that I had it done in NYC just like you. I look just the same way I did now as when I went in. These people are not cheap and what we have to show for mow is NOTHING!!! I sure could use the $ 4500.00 now I can tell you that. Hope this helps.
We have contacted a lawyer on my mother's behalf. We are in the process of collecting photos, information from the ER where we had to take her because of infection, and all pertinent documents. We fully intend to pursue this "assembly line surgery" that this place does. Lawyer assures us that we will get out money back, and have this place investigated. Please go ahead and do the same. Pursue your claim against these people!!
How do I join a law suit against Lifestyle Lift? The credit company (GE CareCredit) already placed a negative report on me because I stopped paying them because of the very bad result that I received from my Lifestyle Lift procedure.
GET A LAWYER!! My mother doesnt want to be part of group lawsuit, quite frankly, she is embarrassed by the whole episode. She still has problems due to the surgery and she feels that she was vulnerable to their commercials thinking she could look younger. Instead, she has scarring and 2 months later, she looks worse than before she went in. We have a private lawyer who is collecting information and will then start legal action against them for poor quality surgery and a multitude of other practices.
I will get an attorney, if after my long trip to Houston this week, post surgery 8 months if lsl doesn't treat me with respect and expects me to pay anything for the corrections I need. and if not all goes well, I will proceed to embarrass these people on a national level. pamejame yahoo com is my mailing.
I have spoken with the Lifestyle lift patient care representatives directly & found it very effective. Their number is 800-940-9951. Have you tried this option? They will take you seriously.
I put down $500,but I have not had it yet because of health issues. Now, I don't know what to do. This all sounds very scary. By the way, if I follow through my surgery will cost around $7,500. Why the $2,500 difference I wonder.
The price difference may be because you were having more work done that my mom did. Also,she only had to put down $400.00 (maybe their prices went up to pay for the upcoming lawsuits!!) Please re-think this before you go there. You will probably have a hard time getting your deposit back though.
I was considering the procedure, but now I am not. Thanks for the info
That's right ladies and gents! Read the print and believe US! I have pictures posted on my area about how I looked better BEFORE I had the LSL. After the LSL I had more wrinkles around my eyes and my mouth and the scars!!!! Believe it. Spend the few extra dollars and find a real doctor with real credentials.
