“Lifestyle lift waste of time/money long recovery, scars, pain, little difference/improvement”

• took 3 hours not one as advertised
• very painful
• horrible sights, sounds and smells during procedure

'anesthesia' or 'light sedation' was one 10mg valium just minutes before they started on the numerous injections in and around my ears and face - they hurt - and caused my arms to start trembling which they said was normal

4 weeks of recovery time not days as advertised

• lots of bruising swelling and pain
• scars all around my ears, 8 months later I still cannot show my ears
• I have plastic 'fishline' stitches poking out thru the skin
• I have swollen lumps behind both ears and in front of one ear
• my face is now somewhat lopsided looking as a result

LIFESTYLE LIFT STAFF UNRESPONSIVE
I WAS A NUMBER NOT A PATIENT
ONCE THEY GOT MY MONEY THEY WERE DONE WITH ME

I COULD NOT GET BACK IN TO SEE THE DOCTOR FOR FOLLOW UP THEY ALWAYS GAVE ME THE OFFICE MANAGER WHO KEPT SAYING EVERYTHING I WAS EXPERIENCING WAS 'NORMAL'

So apparently my bad experience IS NORMAL for Lifestyle Lift

Updated on Feb 18, 2009:

Months later, I can tell you this is still an embarassment to me, that I placed my faith in Lifestyle Lift and their sales pitch, and threw my money out the window and
suffered for so long afterwards.   I feel very cheated and decieved by lifestyle lift.  

I am so sorry for wasting my money and losing over 3 weeks of work on top of the money I spent on the Lifestyle Lift. Improvement if any is negligible, and pain continues.  I still can't
show my ears or behind my ears because of lumps and bumps. This is hideous.  I now have to wear my hair covering my ears every day.
