The above link is your homepage and you should be able to post your review from there. Let me know if this does not work and I will get Sharon from realself to help you. Best, Chrystal

Chrystal: What do you mean I should do my own bio? Please advise. I will do anything necessary, even if it means just one person will take the advice and go to a real plastic surgeon rather than a butcher shop. Please advise. Sandi

This comment is to Scarface. Thank you. I have been trying to put my experience in words, and you did it for me. I too am in constant pain and cannot wear earrings, watch tv lying down, my ears are sewn to my face and it never gets better. My jowls and wrinkles are back, my eyes are asymmetrical and it was the worst mistake I have ever made in my life. I just bought into the commercial and everything I had been told for a fee of $9300. I spent a few weeks with canker sores and blisters in my mouth from the lazer. I'm baffled how Lifestyle Lift remains in business.

Sounds like a law suit to me. Signing consent forms right before surgery and not giving you your reading glasses, sounds like you were signing under duress. That should have already been taken care of. I had neck fusion a received bone graft that was not FDA approved;Google stolen bodies fort lee, NJ. Myself along with a few others went public. It involved 9 companies & over 10,000 people. We got a Class Action and Civil Suit against them. Get a Lawyer. I'm disabled now and this will affect you the rest of your life. You need compensation for your pain & suffering & disfigurement

what happened???

my mom had lifestyl lift it almost ended her life pleas get it of tv its not a good thing

We need to organize strikes against their clinics complete with picket signs. People picket for far less reasons than having their face and life ruined.

Go to BBB.org (Better Business Bureau.org) Type in the name of this company and Phoenix, AZ in the upper tool bars as your chosen city for choice of research locations.Up should pop the Phoenix AZ web site of the BBB.Choose this and continue. Type in the name of the business and Phoenix location again if asked to. You should see the BBB rating along with a nice long dosier of their law suit with the New York State Attorney General and fines for systemized illegal advertising practices involving scam testimonials, fake web sites, etc all designed with the web customer in mind. They are currently on probation for three years ending in about a year. This case with the Attorney General must be included in all BBB inquiries nationwide for that period, but may not be as easily assessable as it was through the Phoenix AZ port of inquiry. BBBs are all set up differently with some being easy to navigate and others, not as much. Read the BBB file carefully and then, click on the little tab for graphs. The graph and the calendar of complaints show an escalation of complaints during the 2011 year. I am not clear on whether or not this is specific to just AZ or is including a nation wide complaint escalation. Their home state is Michigan, so the BBB there may have even a better handle on the complaints with this company. Certainly the State of New York BBB should have some worth while reading, perhaps additional information as there are several locations in New York and only one in Phoenix. This company also has another unrelated name listed on the BBB site. The BBB and Attorney General complaints may be different, more or less in number than with the commonly advertised name. As for the 3-part investigative report on this company done by NBC 10 News complete with surgical mess ups, live patient testimonials and pictures, the series has fallen off the archive available list because the available archives only go back to October of 2008 and the investigation done with real patients and photographs was done in Oct 10, 2006, Nov 7, 2006 and Nov. 29, 2011. You could inquire as to the availability of accessing that information from them through e-mail them.

Dear PennyB and hare2do,
God bless you, and I'm so glad you didn't fall for their game of Russian Roulet, for the dr. I had is a sinister high living low life! And as far as I have seen, none of their gushing promotionals are true. Even the women who write in here who are "happy", all minimize the pain of the shots, and the prolonged healing time. None of them seem to mind that they were lied to. You risk so much including permanent nerve damage which I have wound up with. Their disclaimer they make you sign releases them from any responsibility for any damage they cause. And the re-dos they were offering for free because they were messing so many people up, have turned out to be further pain and disaster for many I have talked to and read about. LSL will never touch my face again. I pray you will help spread the word to inform people to beware of the feloniously false statements they are continuously spewing and realize it is not a minimally invasive procedure, it is an old face lift surgery that the founder came across and resurected to promote with, glam, smoke and mirrors to make himself rich. He used to do hair transplants. They are so mad that I am saying these things, but I'm glad, since the Attorney General opened the criminal investigation the truth is going to come out. My dr. falsified my medical records, saying that I was perfect and had no complaints, after telling me the nerve damage would go away in a year, and the scars needed to calm down around my eyes before he could fix them. I checked back and he was no longer with LSL and left there without telling me. They say I can contact them and they will attend to my concerns, but I know mice smarter than that. If they manage to get out of a trap alive, even they won't go back no matter what kind of cheese you put in there.

Than God you were spared!

Wow!! I am so glad I found this website!! I just went to a consultation yesterday! I was sold on getting it done!! My consultant said if I scheduled it within 60 days of my appt I would get $1000 off of the $8750. I said I couldn't do that and would just have to suck it up and schedule it at a later date! She totally understood and said to call when I was ready!! But now, I don't think I'll ever be ready!! I'll just go to a real plastic surgeon and get a real facelift!! Better start saving my money now!! thanks for all the info everyone! Sorry for all of your pain and suffering!!

HA! HA! ..Well,it's for the best. It's truly for your own good.Their are supposed to be Dr.s who can take their time and do a very good job. -Not rush people through and leave them maimed-SCARRED!!!
Best of luck to you. Joyce

Thanks to all who wrote comments. I was scheduled for an appointment in the Dallas office, but I am scared to death now, so I'm not going. Thanks again.

Dear Ucan'tbeserious,
I found this information as well! He was my dr. and I want to see him and his family deported. He is still practicing at his "Spa" in Lawerenceburg, TN as a matter of public record, and resides with his mother and other family on a large place in Franklin, TN, as a matter of public record. See "granny2",her posting above, and speak to her. His horrendous practices must be stopped, as well as his ability to practice medicine in the U.S.A. He has licenses in several states and I'm trying to find out what they are. Comments by "Grooveygirl" and others document the man's complete violation of the hipacratic oath.With irreparable damage as the result of his surgeries he has caused many americans to SUFFER.
Best Regards,

This saddens me. I've heard of so many women from the Franklin, Tn area that were emotionally, physically and sexually harassed by this Doctor. He sems to have been reprimanded in IL. I wonder where he was working there?
He should've NEVER been hired by LSL, since they say they do extensive background checks on their doctors.
What a shame.
