“Life style lift: dont do it!!!!!! see my photo's!!!!!!”
Lifestyle lift: NOT worth it
Pain: Severe
I was left with terrible scars and given absolutely no post op care instructions at all. In the 3 years since I have had this surgery I have felt humiliated and ugly.
Finally I have taken some steps to repair the damage, which was significant. I am spending about $3000 to $4000 in laser which I highly reccomend.
I am starting to feel a little less self conscience about the horrific results I got... and I have the pictures to prove it.
look at my pictures and tell me: who in their right mind would do this and expect a person to heal from this type of incision and suturing???
I was butchered.
Updated on Dec 24, 2008:
obviously even post op laser treatment was only able to minimally help the very poor job that was done on my face.
Life Style Lift did not offer or care to help repair the damage. They basically said tough luck sweetie----
NEXT IN LINE PLEASE!
UGH, I WILL FEEL UGLY FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE.

Ugly Scars, 1. LOOK UP YOUR DOCTOR'S REGISTRATION NO. ON THE PA STATE'S WEBSITE,it'll be there, and file a complaint. Send your photos for sure--and copies of receipts for the $5,000 in laser repair you've paid. 2. Check the State of NJ, Office of the Attorney General, Division of Consumer Affairs as well for his registration # (chances are that if he's worked in PA, he's licensed in NJ, too). Send them a copy of your PA complaint with his NJ # on it too. And if he is practicing in ANY state without that state's M.D. license (not likely), then he's committed a crime. 3. If he's moved to another state, you can track him down through the AMA. Send THAT state a copy of your complaint and photos too. 4. File complaints with ALL states' Boards of Medical Examiners or ethics where this man has practiced. The point is to bring attention to him to a lot of people with authority. Send the doctor himself a copy with the names of all the states and organizations you have contacted about him. Tell him you won't stop pursuing this until you feel he's held accountable. 5. Can you tell us the doctor's name? I'm just curious what I can find out about him online. 6. DO consider bringing your story forward to local newspapers and news stations. Find the name of the town where he's practicing now, and call their local news people. Persistence worked for me, regarding my bad blepharoplasty. At least I got my money back 3 years later.

Dear Ugly Scars, How long ago was that laser performed? I had a facelift AND laser resurfacing around my eyes and mouth performed a couple of months ago. I was told it would take about 3 months to heal. It's been about 2 months now, and there is still redness in the facial resurfacing areas and swelling in my lower face and neck. But my red areas from the laser aren't blotchy like they are in your photo--mine are just pink circles.

Ugly Scars, Can you tell us the name of the surgeon who did your face lift? Remember, Ugly Scars, that I live in PA. In fact, my blepharoplasty surgeon's office is in Plymouth Meeting just as yours was. Gosh, I hope your current laser surgeon's last name doesn't start wit "M."

I was told that I cant write his name- that surgeon was "let go" by lifestyle lift and the Plymouth meeting office closed. even the way they did that: I drove up there to speak to someone in person and the office was empty. I went next door to speak to someone and they said: yeah, it was real funny they were there one day and gone the next. they moved everything out in the middle of the night they didn't say anything to us and we used to hold their UPS boxes for them. The girl said look and sure enough there were UPS and USPS stickers all over--the office.
