I had a lifestyle lift at Ft Lauderdale everyone in the office was friendly and professional and I never had to wait long for my appointments.

Everything was explained in great detail and they lived up to everything it is only 2 weeks after surgery and I went back to work after 8 days. I still have some swelling and numbness but I look great 10 years younger I think. My sister says I look like I always did when I was young I am 54 years old.

I would highly recomend the facility I totally trusted him and his nurses and would do it again in a heartbeat it was not too uncomfortable ice and painkillers for the first few days.

I had lifestyle lift neck prcedure with lipo and upper eyelids and lazer on lower eyes and nose.

I read all the horror stories before but I think most people that are happy don't take the time to write I promised myself that I would because anyone wanting this done needs to hear good news too. It is a real facelift just do not get put to sleep and that is why the recovery is quicker. I was in and out of sleep and never felt stressed. I say go for it.

It has been three months now and most of the numbness is gone face looks better than ever.
Feel a little tender on the sides of my face now that I can feel it but still feel a little better everyday.
It is worth any little discomfort to have the improvement in my appearance.
Went home last month and everyone thought I looked great.
One brother I saw I had not seen him in 8 years and I did not tell him what I had done he told 2 of my sisters that I looked good and had not changed a bit in 8 years so that was a good review I never did tell him.

Great review?

Hi everyone,

While we welcome all opinions on RealSelf (both positive and negative), I think we're going around in circles a bit now. We've removed some comments that violated our Community Guidelines, but the back-and-forth fighting isn't in keeping with the spirit of RealSelf either.

No surgery has a 100% satisfaction rate, or dissatisfaction rate for that matter. RealSelf really is about the middle ground -- doing your research and using all available information to make a decision for yourself. Deb's result happened to turn out well; UGLYSCARS and 2trusting's did not. (We can all agree on this, right?)

We're going to close this thread for a few days so everyone has a chance to step back and take a deep breath. Once we re-open it, please remain civil towards each other. It's inevitable that people will have differing experiences, but they all deserve the chance to share their story in a place free from confrontation and criticism.

If you have any questions, please send me a PM.

Thanks,
--Sharon

Where? All I have seen is this one picture of your ear do you have recent pictures or at least of the rest of your face.
RoseMaybud 3 Nov 2011
Who cares,Deb? Maybe if we ignore these negative people and their woe-is-me attitude, they might decide to leave :)

Jeeze,so many remarks on one page. First off Deb you look Great! To all of you that had bad experience with this im sorry. I had a breast reduction & tummy tuck 5 yrs ago. Do I have scars....yes its surgery ppl & major at that. Can you get bad procedures & shady Dr.? Yes you can. Do not shop around for a bargin this is your life & body we are talking.about. I research my surgery for almost 6 yrs befor choosing a dr. To all the ppl with negative results, let ppl know wher to stay away from & your story but dont knock all surgeons. And as far as lsl they are not God & im sure have put Dr. on ther list that have been taken off or should be. Thats just like hospitals & clinics. My mom had a stroke 2 yrs ago & was airlifted to one of the nations too voted hospitals that almost killed her. That does not mean the whole hospital is bad. Do the research & take time deciding. But remember it is surgery & also everyone heals different. Also remember like all things in life nothing is a guarentee. And if you are a nitpicky person who bitches & picks apart everything or a perfectionist DO Not have any plastic surgery to begin with. This post is for Deb & im pretty sure the ones with negative outcomes have gotten their point across.

You are so correct in warning people not to shop around for a bargain. The "revolutionary minimally invasive procedure" IS full blown surgery and should be done in a hosp. where emergency measures can be taken if anything goes wrong. Many people have been duped and you have made some very good points. Thank you.

"And if you are a nitpicky person who bitches & picks apart everything or a perfectionist DO Not have any plastic surgery to begin with"--

what?

as I get older the scars on my face get whiter and more noticeable-- the hematoma's get darker....

I don't think it is nit picking to not want it to look like my face got sewn back on.

it's very humiliating for me.

as for it being surgery and everyone healing differently--
I wish I would have had the proper post op instructions to follow.

I am very compliant and would have done what I WAS LATER told I should have done.

I have to live with my ugly face
Life style lift or DEb or rose does not.
and neither do you.

Bless you sweet heart. Boy do I know it! We're not going to fade into the background just because of a bunch of insulting comments. Why do happy people always become so insulting and demeaning and telling us to stop posting if they really are Americans and hold fast to the tenants of being able to speak out if something is wrong. And trust me THEY are not hurting and don't care about anyone else but themselves and seemingly getting more people lured in by their comments. But when they start name calling they show their true colors.
You hang in there, girl. I suppose the British were the same way about the colonists speaking out against them. And people who owned slaves, resistant to losing their way of life when slavery was abolished. Maybe some people were nice to their slaves but that was not the case across the board. So things changed, thank GOD. Corporate medical practice in this country will see it's own demise, yet they will go down kicking and screaming.

Most of the nasty comments have been coming from you it is hard to feel sorry for people that are so mean to everyone that posts a positive review you will not be happy until you either fix your problem or accept it . No one can
do that for you but yourself but negativity is not a positive thing no matter how many times you keep repeating it I wish we could all help you heal but we cant and calling us names and accusing us of things that are not true will not help what ever your problem is I don't
know I have never seen any pictures of you for all we know you never had surgery.
I wish you luck in finding happiness but you won't find it like this.
2trusting 3 Nov 2011
No, dear. The NASTY comments have been made by other of your friends and they have been deleted, just like yours were.
UGLYSCARS 29 Oct 2011
you can't tell people to "go away"
I had a horrible result and LSL didn't care.

as I get older the result gets uglier.
LSL ( at least that office) did not care and performed full face
lifts without the proper pre op or post op care.

When I mentioned the deep cross hatched scars on my face and
the hematoma's on my neck

my "surgeon" said
what are you complaining about? you got a full face lift for $3700


?????

then why was I told it would be like a "lunch time lift" ?
that I could go back to work the next day.

something very wrong happened in that office that day
and I was the victim.


no matter what you say nothing changes that.
I am not making this up: it did happen to me
and LSL did not care one bit.

Remember folks, with some people, beauty is only skin deep. One scratch beneath the surface is pure ugly.
DEB 10 29 Oct 2011
You need to remember that with every surgery there are risks I would be miserable too if I had a bad result but you have got to know that there a lot of things that go wrong in every plastic surgeons office.
They all make you sign paperwork saying you understand the consequenses.
Some Drs do everything they can not be an expert at every kind of plastic surgery so things go wrong .
I would sooner go somewhere where they specialise in the face.
LSL has costs a lot of Dr. a lot of business dont kid yourself.
UGLYSCARS 30 Oct 2011
I have an issue with this Deb. lots of things that can go wrong?
I never signed any kind of paper work that said I would receive
60-80 stitches on my face with NO post op care. I should have had that kind of surgery done in a hospital. A friend of mine said it looked like I had an emergency appendectomy done on my face.

I repeatedly went back to that office---till they pulled out and moved overnight....

I can assure you they did nothing to "help" me.


"Also, each Lifestyle Lift office features a caring staff and customer satisfaction team that will do what it takes to make sure you are delighted, not only with your results but with your entire experience."


BULL.

Anyone who calls people who have been mutilated and had their health destroyed, pathetic, is just that. People are being faced with life-long detrimental affects after being lured in by this LSL.People have been heard screaming from behind closed doors. IN such pain so as not to be described. It deserves to be heard. And having people call us names is not going to stop us. What are you, in the 5th grade? Sticks and stones.
2trusting 29 Oct 2011
Oh! and bud, quite the contrary, other reputable plastic surgeons are having their businesses increased, having to FIX the BOTCHED surgeries that LSL "drs" have performed. They don't need any help from anyone else.

If you notice this was my review page and a lot of people are exstatic with their results and have had a god experience your answer to everything is that anyone who is happy must work for the company get a new line I think you work for some other plastic surgeon who is loosing business to LSL.
2trusting 29 Oct 2011
Then why are you posting on other peoples review pages and putting them down in such horrible ways that your comments have to be deleted. Maybe you should just be "happy" on your own page??? By the way, RS has spelling correction now.
RoseMaybud 28 Oct 2011
2trusting, where did you get your information that the doctors at LSL are not accredited? They are all board-certified plastic surgeons.

Please don't promote lies on these forums. Those of us who are happy want to tell others that it is worth it. By your spreading lies, it only puts fear into people.
DEB 10 28 Oct 2011
2 trusting says what ever she wants to true or not she is bitter and stays on this sight to make us all unhappy life is too short I know she had a bad experience but you can not turn back the clock need to dwell on something positive and take your life back there is more to life than bad mouthing LSL.
2trusting 29 Oct 2011
Bud,
You are wrong. The "drs" LSL hires are NOT all board certified plastic surgeons. You are highly misinformed and if you are getting your information from the company itself, then, you have all the wrong information. Research is for yourself and find out the truth, instead of running people down who are well informed. People have every right to hear what can happen to them when they go to a corporate medical office which performs SURGERIES in non-sterile office rooms with non sterile instruments. How can you promote such an operation that has destroyed soooooo many peoples lives. People should be afraid. Very, very, afraid!!!!!!!!
