Well, you and I are the ones who were lucky enough to have Dr. Rodriguez-yes-great! I do not have time right now to figure out how to post photos, but will soon. I a still wearing the chin/head strap when inside the house. I just returned from a face/body art convention, and, it was tough NOT being able to get painted myself. I accidentally let my grandson paint me last night when he asked--for my birthday--should I tell the age? (75) LSL instructed me, "NO face paint till totally healed--I remembered at convention--totally forgot when grandson asked. He is age 6 and I was impressed. I am feeling fine. Yes, the first days were challenging, but, I went out in public to my classes with a pretty scarf wrapped around my very RED face (and the elastic wrap). I give my doctor 5 stars.

I just wanted to thank Deb for posting 2 years later. I am happy with my result so far (32 days) and it is good to hear from someone who took the time to post after a couple of years. Thank you.

Hi Deb, thank you so much for your comments. Do you have any recent pics? There is so much anxiety about LSL and it lasting. I am so happy to see some positive feedback. Thank you.

I am having trouble with dowloading pictures I ncantfigure out wat is wrong I just think speed too slow. LSL is a face lift without general anethstesia all Dr have their own techniques and do what needs to be done fr individuals we all have differant problems that need to be address so it cannot be a cookie cutter proceedure. I dont think I have changed in 2 years at least not that I can tell

Deb, thank you again. That is awesome. And yes I agree. My Dr customized to me and I got the sense that he has perfected the LSL procedure so it would last....I am very happy with my results so far on day 28....still some healing of course but for the most part all good!

oh you are so very lucky!! I have permanent cross hatch scars..and brown mottled stains on my neck due to blood pooling in m neck. they did cut my muscles so that causes deep tissue bleeding....and to think they gave me an ice pack and shoved me out the back door of their "laboratory" they left me to find my own car with 60++ stitches on each side of my face.

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.

Deb!, I called for an appointment with Dr. Rodriguez and when I asked if the Dr will see me in the first consultation, they said probably wont, only consultants, which i reallly dont like. What was ur first consultation like, did he see you?
User Avatar

I did see the Dr on my first consultation first I saw the consultants who are very knowledgable then I saw the Dr. who was very informative and I never felt rushed you need to ask them for a day when the Dr will be there unless you live close.
They were very prompt with appointments so if you live close I would go back to meet him before you make a decision I promise you that you wont be dissapointed he is great.

Amen to that!

I had it done too (am on this forum with photos), and it is one year post-op and I look 15 yrs younger than my true age (I am 57 yrs old). I am sorry for those of you who had bad experiences, but don't blame the Lifestyle Lift, blame your surgeon. And please don't tell someone she is 'lucky' and one of the 'fortunate ones' if she had success. Most women who have the Lifestyle Lift have been thrilled with the results. So please don't wish misery on those of us who are happy.

I wonder if you are an employee of that outfit?
User Avatar

I 100% blame Life style Lift ( they are the owners and I believe
that makes them responsible for the work their "surgeons"

do.


I in NO WAY wish anyone misery----
I hate my scars and its been 6 years since I had my work done.
IT WAS DONE IN A LIFE STYLE LIFT OFFICE so yes I certainly do
blame them

they ( life style lift) could have cared less if I was scarred.

and they do not tell the truth when they say only a few women were unhappy with their results.

anyone would be unhappy with life long facial disfiguring scars.

1)No, I am not an employee :)
2)Sue your surgeon.

I cannot sue my surgeon--there is a 2 year statue of limitations
on medical mal-practice.
I kept being told by life style lift that to give it time the scars and
hematoma's would heal. they didn't.
the hematoma's gets darker and worse each year and the big lumps of scar tissue are very prominent and stick out.
