Lifestyle Lift: Stories

NTherapy, who did your lift? Dr. who?

I had the Lifestyle Lift about 2 yrs ago. I was pretty satisfied with the results, so no complaint there. However, my doctor behavior was less than professional. He was just down right mean to me and his assistants! Before I tell my story, I will say that I have had several other types of surgeries and no doctor has ever treated me this way. While giving me around 50 shots in very fast succession, I started to cry...I could not help it, as it hurt so badly! Just tears were running down my cheeks...I wasn't sobbing; although before it was over I thought I was going to die! Well, when he saw the tears, he said to me ( very loud & gruff ) "Why are you crying"...I managed to get out that it hurt..wow, that set him off,! After he proceeded with the shots, and started to cut, I could feel the actual cutting...PAINFUL...I raised my hand and he said WHAT? I then told him I could feel the cut...oh boy, more shots and was I ever in trouble! During the whole procedure, he was repremanding the nurse and another guy that was staff..going off about if his schedule wasn't posted by such & such time, he wasn't going to show up or something to that effect. The Nurse ( can't remember her name now ) was very sweet and she kept patting my hand trying to comfort me. I felt sorry for the staff that was assisting him! As a child I was severely emotionally abused, so Dr. P took me right back to my childhood and felt like if I cried or showed pain, I would be cursed at and called names...OMG, it took me this long to finally write some of this down. The emotional abuse by this doctor was awful, not only to me, but the staff! I did of course go back to have the stitches removed and saw the nurse...she said I am sorry he treated you that way! He never came in to check on me, no one ever called to take "after" photos. I talked to 3 other women that he did their surgeries and all complained about pain and his emotional abuse. If I ever had a lift done again, it won't be with him.

I know this is something I really want. I guess my biggest concern is how long the procedure lasts. So many have said within 2months to a year their skin is already starting to droop again. Then again, as someone said, 'It's mostly the people that have had problems that write about it. Not as many write about their GOOD experiences because they're out there enjoying the success'. I'm beginning to think there is a lot of truth to that statement. Best of luck to you with your procedure and I'll be watching for your posts! :)

Your consultation is free and your not obligated to go through with it unless you want. They talk to you about pricing and the work you would need done and then you watch some videos on different people that has had it done.
My surgeon has already made contact with me and I meet him in 3 weeks (1 week prior to surgery) to go over everything.
Since i have signed onto Real life, I have found a few people whom have had this this done. It has helped me. I will stay in touch.

I ended up cancelling my consultation. I'm not sure of what to do. Would you stay in touch and let me (us) know how you do with the procedure? I really want to have it done but too nervous to do it yet. Where are you finding people to talk to about it that are sounding so positive? I'd love to talk to some of them.

I can relate to you on how nervous you are after reading all the horror stories. Im scheduled to have my LSL next month and the more i talk to people that has had this done the better I feel about it. Im getting really excited!

I'm going for my consultation this Friday and am very nervous after reading as many bad things as good about this procedure.
