WORTH IT$7,600
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.

Hi Deb,
Welcome to RealSelf and thanks for sharing your experience. I'm glad your surgery went well.

Debbie is one of the lucky ones
I was not and am scarred for my life.
I was told I could go back to work the next day
I left the office with no post op instructions
even though I later learned I had a full face life including muscle cutting. no drains were placed so in addition to the huge cross hatching scars I have I also have what is called a hematoma on both sides of my neck that make it look like I was burned. It gets worse each year. The hematoma takes up
50% of my neck.
lovely.
people stare at me ---some ask and some don't
you were very lucky

It can cost you your life. If you notice some of these people who have had good luck do not care about the reality of what is actually going on all over the country. Oh yes, they cut you but good, and can truss you up like a turkey, leave you with irreparable scarring and nerve damage and don't give a flying flip.

to me it was a procedure that left me with horrible
scarring.
it appears other's think it's a miracle.

You look amazing. I'm getting mine done on Friday at the Maitland Office. I met with my Dr. yesterday and he was great. He is board certified and answered all my questions. I'm 63 going on 64, but I feel alot younger inside. I'm not looking for miracles here, but I'm hoping to take off maybe 10 years. You got a great price what you had done. It's costing me 6500.00 for the lift, lipo and also tightening my muscles in my neck area. I'll let you know how I make out. Wish me luck. Thanks

Good luck just do what they tell you and you will be fine use ice all the time and take arnica every hour for bruising get it from gnc in pill form just chew. I did it for 3 days before the surgery and for about a week after and only had a small bruise on my neck.
Between the ice packs and the pain pills I was quite comfortable.
Make sure you dont take pain pills on an empty stomach and also take stool softeners every day while you are using pain meds.
Good Luck I am praying that you have as good a result as I did it has been 4 weeks know and I still feel so weird when I look in the mirror Ime back.
Keep in touch.

Do you have any numbness or discomfort now sleeping on your side? I've read some people have pain all around their ears and can't sleep.

Dear Deb...your blog is most informative - I went to the Ft Laud office yesterday (oct 5 2011) for initial consult (Margaret) & today (Claudia) for "reassurance" with procedures/results. I've been surfing the web for Ft Laud office/patient feedback - yours helps! Claudia mentioned arnica/gnc and the bruising - i'm scheduled for January: face/neck & full laser - contemplating upper & lower eyelids...i'm told dr mucci will perform my surgery - did not meet him - thanks so much for posting....I'm going to check what voiceamerica.com has to reference (dr rubenstein oct 6 2011 blog) - his comments on the neck have me curious...ty!

Dr Rubenstein does not know what he is talking about. The lift includes your neck it is the major part of the surgery I paid an extra 1000 to have the muscles tightened but I believe they are including the muscle tightening now but ask not everyone needs to have the muscle done but they always tighten the neck.
I had upper eye lids done as well I highly recomend if you are doing it get your eyes done as well it will really make a big difference.
Good luck keep me posted.
I also recomend stool softeners start the day before surgery and take everyday that you are taking pain killers.
The pain from constipation is worse than any face lift.

Dr. Rubenstein is a very kind and extremely intelligent Dr. who is interested in the American Public being well informed. Anyone who says otherwise has their head up their own derriere. Putting down other people is a classic technique of a shill. Dr. Rubenstein is one of the highly ethical professions speaking on behalf of the American Public.

Dr Rubenstein has made comments that are truly false and should be ashamed to be putting down other proceedures all Drs have their own techniques for Face Lifts but they all help the neck that is where age shows up first not everyone needs the muscles tightened but we all need the skin tightened .
I am sure if you research him you wll fnd that all of his patients are not happy .
