Badly scared for life based from the procedure. I am very upset and this has changed the look of my face and neck for the worse for the rest of my life. My neck has become disfigured due to this procedure. I have lost confidence and feel like going into public places is a chore. This doctor and his office had made promises they didn't keep all to make cash in pocket. I have researched other experiences on the internet and have found similar horror stories and I am truly disappointed.

lindaepaul,

I'm not sure if you're referring to my comment or not, but I am just thanking Conned for her review. I in no way represent LSL.

It is sad that you are not happy with your results, I however followed every instruction given to me, I listened intently, after all this is my face! I am one week out and knowing that it is only going to get better, I could not be happier. I think attitude, following the doctor's direction and self care after surgery is key ... Did you do all of these?? I cannot say enough good things about my surgeon! He even sang to me while he was working!! Love him!!! And loving my new look as the new me emerges!!

I am happy for you. I really expected good results, not the terrible scars I ended up with forever. Of course I followed all recommendations. Whatever I was told to do I did. I trusted completely. However, if you check other search engines (i.e. Google)you will find heartbreaking stories, many much worse than mine. I'm glad you were one of the lucky ones. I wish I was.

what I was NOT told by anyone at the clinic was that the facial laser treatment would remove my eyebrows and the 50% improvement to my chin was less than 1 % feel stupid for wasting my money and time %

It's really unfair that you remove posts and pictures,many from the 200,000 people who were left scarred,maimed,disfigured,and told to wait two full years before complaining so that THE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS ARE UP-AND THEY CAN'T SUE.I was left looking like I had a stroke,since the left side of my face is hanging down.Some had good doctors,some had random dentists,etc.who decided to try cosmetic surgery.

JoyceMarie,

What state are you in? If in Florida, let me know. I did post my photos, 7 I believe, on RealSelf website.

I totally agree Joyce. It seems like Real Self is now quashing negative comments about Lifestyle Lift, but allowing suspiciously positive comments. We may need to look at different sites like Consumer Affairs for our honest opinions to be heard.

There is another doctor in San Ramon who acted the very same way bed side manners and communication was nill to none
