“Lifestyle lift”
Lifestyle lift: Worth it
Pain: Uncomfortable
It's been 1 week 3 days since the procedure . I was thrilled to find out when i went for my week checkup the stitches dissolve and don't have to be removed. my face still swells a little towards night and the back of my head gets sore from laying with the face mask on. my ears are still numb but my neck is starting to itch and get sharp pains once in awhile.
It is totally worth it i had no bruising but could not have gone back to work as soon as i thought you could. you have to wear the face mask 5 days and keep ointment on the stitches till they dissolve or are removed. so maybe plan on being out of work 2 weeks. the first week is the worst now i am glad i did it you just need to follow the instructions they give you, for the best outcome.

Not to scare you further, but have you really looked at the photos that LSL puts up VS what the girls who had a bad go of it put up their pictures here? Even after healing, we don't look as good as we did when we went in (in my humble opinion). I am not a doctor, but have talked to quite a few after my "LSL" and have found out a bunch of stuff about the procedure and the doctors performing it. Have you tried going to a regular Board Certified plastic facial surgeon and talked to them about what you would like to accomplish and see what they will charge you? You might be surprised at the price difference. Please really check out this procedure good before having it done! Best, chrise.

I had my LSL Jan. 16, 09. I am disappointed with the results. I still have jowls and a couble chin. I went back 3 times to see what they would do. the answer is nothing. I did speak to a plastic surgeon, not affiliated with LSL. He happens to be chief of plastic surgery at a hospital here. He said the reason the lifts don't work is due to the fact that they do not address the muscle and other matter beneath the skin, they only pull back the skin. I just blew $9500 and don't have anywhere near the results I expected.

Michigan, Maine, or California it doesn't matter...the fact is that this procedure is not well done. SIXTY ONE per cent of the people here have had problems and look worse than they did before having this work done. Why would you even consider it?

Well Good Luck Susan53 when all the swelling is gone and you look the same as before spending $5400. I thought I looked good too before all the swelling was gone - and I did take very good care of my stitches, still got an infection, had to have more steroids and antibiotics; but now - 7 months later, the wrinkles are back, my neck is saggy and my ears are still mucked up!! I hope yours holds up, good luck! And Oh Yea - all the stitches do not desolve - they will slowly work their way to the surface thru the scars!

The skin under my chin is beginning to becoming loose and saggy again. I had my proceedure done Feb 9th! I paid extra for the neck muscle to be tightened. I am so distressed!
