Not Worth It
Spent: $4,000 in Schaumberg, IL

If I can help anyone avoid the pain, expense, without results of this procedure it will be a little consolation. I am still working on trying to rid my horrible scarring from around my ears from this procedure. Have had injections and will now ry some laser treatments.

This has been one of the worst experiences of my life, truly. The pain, disfigurement and already the procedure looks futile, after one year I am in worst shape than before I had this procedure. I am considering suing but it is difficult.

DON'T DO IT

Can someone please advise their experience during the procedure itself. Level of discomfort etc.

The consultation appt. was very deceptive in their description of the procedure. The pain during the procedure was horrible, I could feel the cutting at times was actually screaming. My face was swollen and black eyes beyond recognition. I was unable to work for 4 weeks due to the amount of stitches,swelling and pain. A lunchtime procedure - HA!I am looking into legal recourse as after one year have horrible scarring around the front of my ears with numbness. I only had the neck lift, yet my eyes were black and face swollenfor weeks. The worst part of all, the results are not worth it and worse because of the scarring, this outfit is a sham.

I cancelled my lifestylelift, I had put down 500. hope I will get it back. They said they would refund it. They also told me that people that post here are from other facelift doctors offices and I shouldn't listen to any of them...but I am still afraid after going to 2 sites and talking to some other doctors that are real plastic surgeons and the cost for what I wanted was the same.

They actually said that? Wow, that's really interesting! If there's one thing I've learned by being here, it's that a lot of women (and men) are more than willing to share both positive and negative experiences. They don't have any motivation to share their stories other than whatever compels them personally; we're certainly not all on some facelift doc's payroll! :)

I DO NOT WORK FOR A PLASTIC SURGEON!!! I sell jewelry. that's why I was looking to be 'refreshed'. I was fortunate enough to find this site right after my consultation. No money out of my pocket. What concerned me the most was the doctor's consult. He was more concerned in showing me what my face would look like than answering my questions. He also approched the lady that came with me offering a "2fer". Time to run! and I did. Good luck on getting you $$$ back.

Hi Bits, My name is Diana by the way, yes it is a nightmare, I wish I had known all this before, never did the research till after the fact cause I was such a mess! I just filed a complaint with the medical board, in fact a Bev who also found me on this site gave me all the info. Iwas was very easy and your right there is strength in numbers, if you would like to also follow up our contact is {contact information removed}, I will send Bev's email to you if I still have it, it is the Illinois Board of Regulations, something or other. I need to get these horrible scars fixed around my ears it is really terrible, I still have numbness and there are stitches bulging out behind my ears, Shashikrant said he could remove them sugically but there is no way I would ever let them touch me again!This outfit has got to be stopped it is wrong! Let me know anything else that may help us, thanks and keep in touch, D -- Editor note: Please share contact information privately. This user can be contacted by clicking on their username.
