Lifestyle Lift: Stories

OMG! After reading all the horror stories I think I'll just change my hairstyle instead of getting a LSL. I'm so sorry to all of you who had a horrible experience.

Well, I have an appt. forLTL that Im going to cancel after reading all of these reviews. The only positive one is from Debby Boone....DUH!

I am VERY happy!!~ had the lower face done in April with Dr. Lee, Santa Ana, Ca, Results excellent. I have 2 friends who already have apts.with Dr Lee after seeing my.fabulous results. .Monica, Faye all the rest of the staff including Dr Lee were the best. So glad I did this at LSL! thank you MK

Any person who in their right mind lies down and takes 50 injections in the skin of their face ,eyelids,and neck,and then undergoes the procedure for several hours must ask themselves,,,,AM I crazy or stupid. A regular surgeon puts these surgeries to sleep,,just from the emotional side of the surgery ,in an accredited surgical center with continuous monitoring ,by a anesthesiologist or a nurse anesthetist while the patient is a sleep,,,do otherwise is just plain crazy and stupid.The surgery is tense enough that to do otherwise would cause one to burnout fast
I did these surgeries and thought I would burn out fast and I did,,,,,,after 3 months,,,
so I wonder how some of these doctors can last years,,,,I think its is called lack of
Empathy for the patient and what he/she is going through .
Bad results occur because of lack of Empathy,,,,it always was/is the patients fault if
something goes wrong,,,,so that I feel is the root of Lifestyle Lift,,,they have your cash,,,,
so,,,,there you have to have a act of Congress to get back or go through the procedure,,,,the sale people get theirs from the meets,the shows for surgery etc,,,
no one gets any more or less if the surgery is successful or failure,,,,
surgery can have complications but these wean over months,,,,,,,and do not effect the results,,,,,so if there is only minimal improvement ,it could be you were never a good candidate in the first place Lifestyle Lift does not have to be accredited because most states say this is being done under local and it is like getting it done in a doctors office so nothing about accreditation is necessary ,to do otherwise is just plain crazy and stupid.

Some ofl these so-called doctors are out just out there to make a profit....simple as that....they put on the bait and throw out the line....just waiting for the most vulnerable. Shame on them.

Vanity...funny that you, not being vain at all, would find yourself looking on this website under facelifts. You gave me my chuckle for the day! If you read the posts, you would realize how wrong you are. These women, myself included, DID do our HOMEWORK. The fact is, if you are interested in FACTS, LSL LIES and presents a major Bait and Switch. Oh, but then again, you weren’t on REalself looking for info on a facelift, were you?

Isn't vanity a deadly sin? If everyone wasn't so vain then this forum would not exist. Try accepting yourself for who you are and not who you wish you could be after all everyone ages it's a part of life accept it. For those of you that looks matter sooo much to you then do your research. Find a doctor and do a background check or don't and start a forum like this.

Speaking of Kevin Treadeau, the Canadian SCAM-ARTIST, recently I got a call at 8:00 A.M. (I was still sleeping) on a Monday morning from my CREDIT CARD COMPANY who informed me that at 6:30 A.M. that same morning a "questionable" company had charged $70.03 to my card and - since Kevin Treadeau's Company already had a "red flag" attached to anything it charged, my CC Company was calling ME to confirm that I'd actually charged $70.03 to my CC. My resounding answer was "NO!!!!". Some background: Three years ago I bought one of Kevin Treadeau's books, found the whole book disorganized, vague and unuable, I sent it back and got my $43.00 back (a miracle!). Anyway, after investigating this recent mysterious charge, I learned from some female customer service "nitwit" at Treadeau's company in Illinois that the $70.03 charge was a "yearly" Fan Club charge in the Kevin Treadeau Fan Club. OMG!!!!! PEOPLE -- Watch Out For This CROOK and be sure to go over your credit card statement carefully each month. Seems his company took a random "shot" after three years and blatantly charged the credit card number they'd kept on file with $70.03, hoping I wouldn't notice!!! BE CAREFUL, STAY AWARE AND DON'T BUY ANYTHING FROM KEVIN TREADEAU AND HIS SCAMMING BOOK AND PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANY!!!!!!!! Sincerely, Gillyanneb@aol.com

I Had the same experience:(

I had the same experience, horrible, painful, visible scars, lumps and bumps from subcutanious stitches left in and most of all Dr. Popadero attitude that he didn't know what happened, then he lasered my under eye leaving scars and no pigment in the skin and causing my eyes to droop. Again, he said he never saw a laser to that to anyone??? Really! Do not go the LIFE STYLE LIFT FOR ANY REASON! Just Don't. You will regret it.

anyone thinking of having this procedure done better think again. i had mine done in phx az by dr robledo. he was not pleasant & seemed in a hurry to get me out of his office. his mannerism was not at all like someone who wanted your business. i asked his medical assistant if he was always like this & she said that "he must have had an argument with his girlfriend". (wow). i kept my surgery appointment because i thought he was the only dr in phx that performs this surgery, (turns out i was wrong). it was my fault that i did not do my homework. i also neglected to ask very important questions during my consultation. ( i did pay for it later). my surgery was the most painful experience i have ever had besides labor. i was numb during the procedure, but they do not tell you before hand that you will receive numerous "PAINFUL" injections in your face before the surgery, (i lost count after around the 20th shot). i think i lost conscienceness. during the injections, i started to cry & wither in pain & dr robledo stopped & asked rudely, "do you want to do this or not?" thats when i started to feel like i made a huge mistake. when the numbness kicked in, the dr started the procedure. that was also horrible. after the skin is cut, he needs to stop the bleeding, so he cauterizes the vessles in the face with a laser & you can smell the burning skin & hair. at some points of the surgery there was pain so he would give me another injection. surgery lasted about an hour then they wisk you away through a back door. your scheduled to come back the next day for dressing removal, but dr robledo does not see you, another medical assistant does the dressing changes. you are then scheduled to come back in a week for the stitch removal, but you still wont see the dr. when i asked why the dr does not want to see his pt's directly after his own work i was told that "he doesn't want to bother his pt's". they schedule you in 30 days after the procedure. dr robledo called me one time after my surgery & left a message. so knowing all of this info now, i would recommend that anyone thinking of having this procedure go to a a surgeon that is not only kind & considerate, but one that also uses anesthesia. this was one of the most horrible experiences of my life. i am satisfied with my results, but certainly would have done this somewhere else if i had done my homework. you should always feel comfortable with the persone who will be performing surgery on you. "HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE" experience!!!!!

I had my eyes done, Dr. Poperdario (SP) left stitches in the corner of my eyes, they didn't dissolve!! Used laser to remove the bulges at the corners and went under the eyes, both of them, and burned to much skin leaving my eye drooping like a Basset Hound. The procedure from beginning to end was very painful, I could feel every cut, pull and stitch, so much for local anesthesia!! Don't go there, my eyes have never looked so bad. the surgery and laser cause dry eye, irritation of the eye as well as changing my sight resulting in new glasses and things are still not in good focus. Don't let Dr. P work on you, it is a diaster. Go elswhere for surgery life style lift is not any cheaper then any other plastic surgeon. The injury to your face results in getting corrective surgery to clean up the mess they make. DOn't do it!!! At least not here.

THANK YOU FOR THESE POSTS!!! I will just live with my wrinkles and baggy face.. :)

I am considering the LSL in orange county, CA. Does anyone have any experience with this office.

I think before anyone has any kind of PROCEDURE like you are talking about they should read all the reports and check with the Attorney General of Florida whom has that company under investigation.Also check with the Attorney General of New York who had them under investigation as well....Once done it is too late to investigate! Maybe also ask that Dr. to give you 3 to 5 people he has done this PROCURE on so you can directly ask them what they thought and if they are happy.Then make your decision.

My best friend and I are scheduled to have our LSL done in the Reston, VA office by Dr. Ravi Dahiya. We both are fair skinned and between 58 and 61 years old. Has anyone had this procedure done recently by Dr. Dahiya and if you did what was the outcome?

In regards to those before and after pictures. All of the before picutes I saw all the patients had no make-up, no lipstick, and had a bad hair day. The after pictures all had full make-up, lipstick and a new hairdo. All of the before pictures I saw had side lighting which will always accentuates wrinkles. The after pictures used frontal lighting and I am sure a diffuser was used, which many older actresses use to make them look younger. Several of the before pictures had the head tilted down slightly which will accentuate folds along the jaw line. And last, but not least in all of the before pictures no one was smiling and, of course, all of the after pictues had smiles, smiles. Please. Their ad definitely leaves the impression that you have the procedures done in about an hour and then you go right back to work or home and it is roses from there on.
