“Lifestyle lift worth it and i highly recommend my doctor!”
Lifestyle lift: Worth it
Pain: Severe
I had the lift done in Houston Texas. My doctor is double board certified in facial plastic surgery and head and neck surgery. His stitches are fantastic!
I think the problem that most people have is with expectations. If you've ever had even minor surgery, you know what to expect. It takes time to heal. You will not look normal in 2 weeks! It's going to hurt and you will need painkillers!! That being said, I had my procedure done in January. I am still numb in certain parts of my face, but my stitches have healed wonderfully. They can hardly be seen and are still fading. I had brusing that took about 2 weeks to go away and I was swollen for several weeks.
I have heard people complain that after a few weeks, they could not tell a difference. This has to do with swelling. When all my swelling went down, I no longer had a "full" look to my face, that was filling out some wrinkles, but that was all fluid. What was left was a GREAT new profile (no loose skin), diminished nasolabial folds and tighter cheeks.
I love the way I look and I would recommend my doctor to any one who was interested in getting this procedure. In fact, I would do it again.

I had my lifestyle lift in Houston a year ago. At first I looked great but now my skin is sagging again & lines are prominant.I am 60 years old . If I could do it all over again, I would have a full facelift ,not the lifestyle lift as results do not last!!!!!

hi emmamich - it's been almost a year. I need to post some recent photos. my scars are not noticeable any longer and i am very fair with freckles. i have definately noticed that my skin is not as tight as it was right after the surgery. i also have done some additional reading and i think that the lifestyle lift is probably the most effective for the jowl and cheek area. that area of my face is still very tight and i also have some numbness around my ears. where is skin has loosened the most is my neck, however, it is nowwhere near what it looked like before. would i do it again, yes. i think that for the neck, an additional procedure is probably necessary to get the super tight 30 year old results i initially had. the other thing is, the condition of your skin does not change. it is tighter, but it's still old. overall, i am happy, and consider this just the first in a series of procedures i will probably do.
