The worst experience ever! I even had a re-do which turned out to be a greater mistake than the 1st failed attempt. I am scarred for life. It's been 3 years...My face is numb except for the pain & under the skin itching that no matter what I do, I can't get to. I have long,wide, ugly scars running down my face on both sides. My ears are not where they used to be & I suffer from almost constant ear pain. My face & ears feel like they're in a constant state of thawing, like I've been in the freezing cold & come into a warm room. It's very disturbing not to mention it's stolen my self esteem because its embarrassingly ugly.

I had a consult with a prominent plastic surgeon. It would cost about $20,000 to repair what LSL did, way more than a normal face lift because of the extent of damage. Too much skin was removed, I have 'pixie ears', my skin was pulled then anchored in the wrong direction, that's why my face is askew since the LSL, the scarring is heavy, ropey & almost impossible to remove, even with another expensive surgery. What we need is NATIONAL COVERAGE, not just local TV. There have been several stations across the country that aired segments showing unhappy, scarred, mamed women. LSL has sued or threatened to sue everyone, including some of the patients they mamed. How can that be possible? If anyone has an idea of how we can unite, not just in individual cities but countrywide to get some national attention e-mail me & let's get working on this. I know it's possible, but we are dealing with a money making machine & they have armed themselves with good attornies & managed until now to insulate themselves from these complaints.

I, too, had the LSL in Plymouth Meeting 3 years ago. I was extremely unhappy with the results. After the surgery, they gave me a mirror, and i still had the same sagging as i did when i got there. I told the doctor that i was unhappy, and he told me to come back in a month, and he would redo it for free. Needless to say, i never went back. The scars are still visible around my ears, and my one ear lobe is not even with the other. I would not recommend this to anyone. I wasted $3500 for nothing.

Wow....I am really sad for all of the casualties so many of you have suffered after having this procedure. Although I have not yet had any cosmetic surgical procedure I very much would like to hence I've begun to research. Had it not been for people like you coming foward to tell your stories, I too may have gone into to this thinking it would be a terrific opportunity to improve my physical appearance at a reasonable price. I am convinced that Lifestyle Lift is not the way to go and for now I'll need to bide my time and save money until I can afford to get the kind of results I would like from a truly professional surgeon. Thank you so much and I do hope you pursue this to a class action "procedure", make a killing and take some of that money and consult with a top notch surgeon. A great book to read, BTW, is Confessions of a Park Avenue Plastic Surgeon, by Cap Lesesne. After reading his book it is my dream to be able to have him perform surgery on me. Check it out he is not selling his self, (no need), but it is very informative.

I see so many poor reviews and was wondering if anyone stopped their check or credit card payment? Glad I read the reviews here before trying this? Was also wondering if anyone has considered "smart lipo"? Thanks, Bt

If anyone has skin itching, try caprylic acid capsules,3x day, nystatin, tree tea oil mixed with an ointment on skin, yeast cream. Don't touch skin with fingers at all.I consumed caprylic acid 3x day and it worked.I did have a fix it surgery on my back of my ear later on and it has a sting which I am trying to get rid of now. It feels deep inside the skin. I think yeast has infected the scars and needs to be destroyed internally.So, check out info. on yeast infections. Good luck
