“Life Style Lift - I Was Robbed”

What exactly did they lie about? I've very pleased with my LSL experience. They never told you you will go back to work the next day. They say some people have. Thats not going to happen to most people and its pretty silly to think otherwise.  Also, there is no pain nor trauma during the procedure, they numb you up and don't feel a think other than pressure. I like that I was awake because I don't like the idea of being put under, people die from that every day. "Robbed at gunpoint", a little dramatic don't you think. I've seen this post on other websites, I doubt you even had the procedure.

Bitsy; I am interesed as to where you had your surgery done? Could you email me at {edited}. I have serious doubts about my surgeons qualifications and have questions as to where I can find information. Can you help me?

Hi, I am scheduled for the LSL in Tampa next week. I now have truly serious doubts about the whole thing. If anyone from the Tampa area has had the LSL and used Dr. Shaffer, I would love to hear from you. I think I might need to love my face as is.

I'm thinking about having some work done on my neck area. Has anyone had this done at the Reston Virginia location?

I am commenting as a friend and aide to someone who had the Life Style Lift in the beginning of April 2008,it has been a horrendous experience,the pain management during the surgery was non existant she said the pain was the worst she's ever experienced,the swelling has been terrifying to see,she had huge amounts of blood asperated from her face two weeks after proceedure and needs it done again,three days later.I am very worried about her.She is still very bruised and in constant pain.I took her to ER and they put her on IV morphine and gave her oxycotin for the pain and steroids for the swelling.Her blood pressure was 179/100.I think she needs help in dealing with this does anyone have any suggestions.She's going this week to have more blood drained from her swelled face.I seriously need some suggestions on what to say to the doctor or where else she should go for help.

cont. They told me I would have to go back and they would lance it. I drove back.I have very bad scars behind my ear and they didnt even do the procedure where they go under your chin and lace the muscle up tight. Thats what makes your chin tight. I thought all the time this was included, but no, It was 500.00 more. If I would have known they didnt do it, I would have paid extra, but I didnt know until I came back for my checkup and ask why I still had loose skin under my neck. They told me it would get better after swelling went down. Dont believe it. What happens if you loose weight? Your skin gets looser! Same thing with swelling. Hello Botox. Also the jowls wasnt supposed to be lipoed either. That was also supposed to be extra, but my doctor said he would include it. I went back to work on the 4th day. I was black and blue for about 3 weeks. I still have pain. around my ears still have dead spots.It did help my chin.But if I could have it done again, I would definatly go to a real plastic surgeon.You know what they say about you get what you pay for. I still have a lot of loose skin under my neck and my jowls are coming back. All I have to suggest is make sure you are getting what you think you are and what you are paying for. And I hope you have a higher pain tolerance that I did. Good Luck and GOD bless

I want to know if anyone had the Dr. J do a lift and what where your results. I just checking out the doctor and any other feedback would be appreciated now that everyone has me scared.
