ABQ LSL is awesome! The care i recieved was great. I was well informed of the whole process. Dr. Davies was my surgeon and I highly recomend him. He takes his time to give you the results your asking for. Before and after photos will be posted next month.

Hi.I just had the lifestyle lift done in April. I must say I am not disappointed but plan on the first two months to put compresses on twice a day and massage the areas where needed to speed up the recovery. I am going into my 3rd month and I am down to once a day still massaging and warm compresses. The feeling you will experience is not painful somewhat a discomfort, nothing that will stop you from doing your daily activities.My experience is feeling like there's a piece of velcrow pulling up the sides of my face near my ears. By the way, most people who have seen me since the procedure don't even notice a change. I though know the difference and am appreciating it.
Sooooooo what your saying is THEY lie about the quick healing time?????????? If you're only in your 3rd month the sagging hasn't begun yet. I'm sorry that the velcro feeling might not go away and if your friends don't notice a difference, meaning you look exactly like you did before? Then why have spent all that money and have the complications to deal with. LSL lies about more than the healing time and the evidence is all over the place.
I HOPE you heal and if you are not happy you can find out on this website how to proceed.
Good Luck,

Hi Carol,
Thank you for giving me some what of an idea of what i will be going through. Im very excited to have this done.
Hi, I had the lifestyle lift done in Oct. of 2010. I am not satifsfied with my results and will be going back this month for another consult. It cost me $8550.00. Expect at least 3 weeks of down time. I have noticable scarring and my earlobes look like they were sewn close to my head.....looks very un-natural. I hope you have wonderful results. I am anxious to see if they will attempt to correct my problems and if so if they will charge me additional money. I can keep you posted if you like.
Hi K.B., thank you for sharing your experience. I have heard some happy and unhappy stories from women whom has had this procedure done. My date is approaching quickly to have my procedure done, although im getting alittle nervous as time grows near. Yes, please keep me posted on your results. Thank you.
I had it done March 11 , of this year.
It was my 64th birthday present to myself.
I am sooooooo pleased!

I was back to work in less than 1 week. I did not need pain medication after day of surgery.
Anyone thinking of using Dr. Farias for the surgery should go through with it. Don't wait!
Loving it
MsMaryNM,
Please take the time to listen to the program on Voice of America on New Reflections. LSL is under criminal investigation, for
God sake, girl. Do you think we post here to warn people just for grins??? We want people to become more informed and to seek other opinions before signing over the fate of your face, and possibly your health, to an invasive surgical procedure, the drugs, the needles in the face, the fluid build up the nerve damage, the scars, I could go on and on. It bears scrutiny, don't you think?
Best Regards,

That sounds great!!! Where are you located?
im in New Mexico and im 10 days out and no regrets.
Good for you! thats great news.

This internet radio show on LSL may help you in your decision making process. Be careful.

Please take the time to get a 2nd opinion before you go through this. It would not take much of your time and you might be surprised at the difference in pricing after checking the procedure out with a private practice facial plastic surgeon.
LSL HOUSTON..YOU CAN SEE MY RESULTS ON FACEBOOK UNDER "lifestyle LIFT".. IT'S JUST A PHOTO.
MAKE SURE YOU VISIT A FULLY QUALIFIED PLASTIC SURGEON AND ASK TO SEE THE PHOTOS OF PATIENTS THAT HAVE HAD YOUR NEEDED PROCEDURE. IT'S YOUR FACE SPEND THE EXTRA MONEY ON A DOCTOR WITH A REAL PRACTICE. I WILL BE HAVING TO HAVE MY FACE TOTALLY REDONE. IF YOUR LOVED ONE SAID HE WAS TAKING YOU OUT FOR A ROMANTIC DINNER TO MCDONALDS YOU GET A CLUE..GET A CLUE ABOUT LSL. I GAVE LSL EVERY OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE IT RIGHT WITH ME, THEY COULDN'T CARE LESS. LOOKING BACK AND KNOWING NOW THE FULL PICTURE..I CAN'T BELIEVE THESE IN AND OUT SURGERY COMPANIES ARE ALLOWED TO OPERATE..I WAS WISHFUL THINKING WHEN I SIGNED UP FOR MY MESS..DO YOUR HOMEWORK..IF IT'S TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE..YOU KNOW THE ANSWER..AND THEY ARE NOT BARGAIN PRICES AS IT TURNS OUT!! GOOD LUCK, WISHING ALL THE BEST!
Pamejame, how are you recovering at this time? Are you still having problems with your LSL? Let us hear back from you. Best, Chrystal
