“Lifestyle lift + eyelift (age 66)”
Lifestyle lift: Worth it
Pain: Uncomfortable
I had the lifestyle lift plus my eyes done at the same time. was told how great they were at eyes and wanted to have done at the same time.
i'm 66 and i will say my neck does show some difference but don't do an eyelift. The lid on my left eye was pulled down to low and i still have a large burge under it 2 months later. my right upper eye still droops like it did before the lift and the eyes make me look like I had a stroke.
I had this done in Troy Michigan. It was my dream to have these procedures and I paid 8200 dollars for the procedures. I'm just sick about the whole thing. I wish I would have spent more time on research.

I had my eyes done and hated it. Wrote a review to tell everyone what I thought of it after 2 months. Went to the doctor yesterday and talk to doctor about my concerns. They were so good. Still don't like my eyes yet but I was told as soon as enough time has gone by so everything is settled and nothing is going to shift any changes that need to be made to make my eyes look the way they should will be done. He said I'll probably need a little laser touch up for the small bulge under my eyes and a little more off one of my upper lids.
This made me feel so good to know my eyes will be fixed at no additional cost. That they do not leave you just setting out there if you really have a problem. I really wish I would have waited to write my first review until I was sure the problems would not be fixed. This is not the case they do stand behind the work. This is not to say they would fix something because your expectations are unrealistic.

i had the same procedure in Atlanta, very poor results but at least mine was only $6700 - they gave me a special discount! HAHA!! I too am very disgusted, it has been a little over a year now and I am right back where I started with the jowls, eyes drooping, and turkey neck. Never again will I trust anyone with a scapel within 10 feet of my face - I will just have to look my age of 63.

Hi and welcome to realself. I also had the "LSL" done in Atlanta and I also had my eyes done (to great dismay). I had 2 different looking eyes as you do and LSL thought that a browlift would fix everything. Not only that but the pain behind my ears was unrelenting and my ears grew longer. I hope that you can find a way to get your eyes fixed BY a competent surgeon. I did have surgery to fix my "LSL" but before I did I had 3 different doctors opinions. I was still pretty freaked out about what had been done to me and was so afraid that it could happen again. The information that I learned from the different surgeons was very different in all aspects from LSL. Best to you, Chrystal Eckes

My wife had the lifestyle lift proceedure done 6 weeks ago and from day one has had nothing but pain, suffering, and a feeling of emptyness. After reading some of the comments on this web site I only wish we had read them before deciding to have the proceedure done. It is not reassuring at all to find other women having the same complications. My wife trusted the Lifestyle Lift doctors and staff to be honest and caring throughout the entire program, but what we ended up with was a healing time that was not diclosed as well as never being told just how long the "healing" process takes. I think this company should be shut down immediately! I plan to write radio and television stations in hopes of getting some sort of exposure. The only problem is my wife refuses to be seen by anyone other than her grandchildren. What a shame for a beautiful woman 55 years old to be dealt such a negative blow by snappy commercials and flase promises.

I had a LSL on September 24, 2009 in Cleveland. I researched, Asked many questions and listened to everything that was recommended. Of course it wasn't the most pleasant experience but it was surgery. It's been 3 weeks and I still have a little swelling and it is sore behind my ears. BUT so far I can honestly say I have received the exact results that I asked for. I would do it again and I would highly recommend LSL.

My twin sister and I had lsl at the same time. We went through some intense pain and places on our face and especially our ears still hurt and we were told it could be up to 6 months for the pain to go away. We were told none of this upfront. Also, I was told I needed to be off my heart medication (which thins the blood) for 2 weeks prior to the "procedure". My heart Dr. ok'd the 2 wks. Then I was told after the procedure I couldn't take it for at least 2 more weeks. I had no choice, I had to stay off it at this point. When I started taking it again, a scab in back of my ear started filling up with blood, so I had to stop the medication again for another week and a half. I didn't dare tell my doctor because at this point there was nothing I could do. They should have told me this before the operation. I was scared the whole month or so I was off my plavix. I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND THIS "PROCEDURE" TO ANYONE. My twin went through even more pain and suffering and has scars to prove it. We feel duped and would like to see this business banned and the doctors fined and their license taking away. Mrs Linda Gallant

Hi, I posted to you before about my eyes. I was also promised that my problems would be taken care of when "it was time and I had healed", which never seemed to come around. Just to protect yourself, have you considered getting the promises made to you in writing so when the time comes you won't have a problem. If the doctor leaves the practice, etc. Best, Chrsytal Eckes.
