lifestyle lift offered to fixed botched procedures- but never answered emails or calls

$5,000
Like stated above, they were going to supposedly send me to a liftstyle Doctor in Orange county, but they stopped taking my emails, and didn't call to confirm appointments. Basically they admitted the procedure was botched, and lying again.
These people don't CARE what they do to peoples lives. I've been to several board certified plastic surgeons, and they have all stated, the threadlift procedures were taken off the market several years ago from the FDA. They were astonished that LSL would even consider this procedure, and none could fix the dents and puckering.
One doctor told me to go to the California State attorney general and the American society of cosmetic and reconstruction surgery, one gave me an attorneys phone number, stating he would get my medical records.
I asked them over a dozen times to give me a copy of my medical records, while in the two hour meeting, to date I still haven't received them, I don't even no who manufactured these threads or what the name of them are.
Conned, lied too, and deceived again. There is alot more, they've stated, but I hope any one considering LSL, will not reply to the numerous emails and phone calls they send telling you how easy and wonderful you'll look, it's a scam, your on a chopping block, and you'll never be the same,they just don't care after they slice you up and get the money.

I am so sorry you experienced this! I hope you find healing soon. Thank you though for posting I was considering a consultation but your experience stopped me.

My heart goes out to you. I was considering going this winter in Fla, but am definitely having second thoughts.

I had a "contour threadlift" to lift my cheeks about 7 years ago. a thread is starting to poke through my cheek, hasn't broken the skin yet. I am going to have a "face lift" in 2 months and the plastic surgeon is going to "remove" the threads. so they can be removed. hope that helps.

Did this ever get fixed for you? This happened to me just yesterday, but as the result of a normal endoscopic brow lift. I am now misaligned and puckering very severely.

Are you going to see a different doctor, who is not affiliated with Lifestyle Lift?

So while I was speaking withy manager, I requested over dozen times to see my file, I stated it was my right, after listening to her tell me about her stories of whoe, (foot thing) she leaves the room and comes back with a condensed version of file. I know what he file looked like when she was speaking with me and I know what he notes stated, as the Dr. Michicha told me on my second consultantation, he had wrote down information about my resent trip from Italy.

2 hours meeting with lifestyle manager

sgmcgow
So finnaly I get a response from lifestyle life, (before I bought in, I had to ask them several times to quit calling me). This is the offer, we'll send you to another lifestyle lift r doctor in Orange county. Oh and here's the topper, manager states "I've had a bad foot operations, one was good the other foot bad". REALLY, my God, no one compares a foot to a face. And to top it All off she tells me she had been in the field of plastic surgery for 40 years, yet she hasn't ever had a thing done. 66 yes old And looks every day of it. What on earth are these people trying to prove, (stupid, mad, unhappiness, lierers, con artistry......because certainly that's where the artistry lies, not in the promised.

Do ur homework . Lsl is a procedure made up by a doctor , years ago , to make cash fast! A REAL PLASTIC Surgeon does a Face lift , jowl & neck lift & pulls the muscle. These other names for the real Surgeries are money making disasters. Sorry this happened to u. Interview several REAL plastic surgeons , they will laugh when asked about these LSL procedures.
