Dr. Machida made me feel comfortable and answered all my questions. All of the staff, including phone calls and follow up, were so sweet and helpfull. I never had to wait more than a few minutes in their comfortable waiting room. Only good things to say about Ontario Mills center in California

Does anyone know how long it will last? How often does it need to get done?

Thanks!
It has been almost 3 yrs and I still look the same. I did have a little jowling but I had told Dr. Dahiya not too pull me real tight. If I have too have it done again I will ask for tighter too tighten the jowl area. 2 months ago he did some smart lipo in the jowl area and I look better than I did after my LSL. I think I will last a good 10 yrs. I am 63 and hope it last until I am 70. People keep asking me if I lost weight. If u chose Dr. Dahiya she will be fine. Great dr.!!!

does anyone know about dr. machida he works out of the ontarion mills parkwy office. i am wondering if he does good work

Delsie, Did you do the lifestyle lift? I am thinking about doing it myself but want to get a few referrals first. How did it go?
Dr. Machida in the Otarion Office is the one that did my face lift and eyes. You can see the results above. 2 before and 2 after, right under my rating of Dr. Machida. I recommend him highly, and his office staff. My results are much better than I expected.
I had my LSL yesterday and I can't wait to take the off to see what the scars look like or where they are. The pain with the local anesthetic was horrible. I must have had 50 shots. I was suppose to get laser under my eyes but I couldn't take any More needles so I stopped the procedure Tomorrow I will know.

wow thats too bad. good luck and i hope it last longer then 2 yrs.

Me too. I finally took bandages off and I think it will be okay. Scars are near my ear and in hair line. No pain and so far I can see that me neck looks a lot firmer. Once swelling goes down I will know for sure. Thanks for reply

I had my neck and eyes done. Before I looked saggy and tired. Now I look bright, awake and younger. I have no cons, the surgery was well worth it. The entire staff was so sweet and helpfull. They kept my husband well informed before, during and after the surgery. My niece told my husband that I look like her sister instead of her Aunt. Age at time of surger - 62..

You look great!!!
Hi Vick77... I just had a Lifestyle Lift and Lasar Treatment on the 11th of April. So I am on day four of recovery. I feel like a chipmuck. My neck has some lumps around the right jaw line and neck. Do you think I will be able to go out in public with in two weeks of the surgery? I am pleased with the results so far and the pain has been minumal. God bless you for sharing... Bb in Alexandria
Yes!!! I went too work 4 days after I had LSL and chin lipo. I had the c02 around my eyes
and mouth about two months after the LSL. I think it was less than a wk. after the lazar that I went out in public. My neck had alot of bruising but I covered that up. Glad u had a good experience. You will be swollen some. I used ice at work so that worked for me. Oh yea my neck had some lumps too. My glands under my neck were more noticable afterwards. After the 1st wk. you will really start liking the way u look. Each wk. it gets better.
Hi all, Well, on the 10th day I am working deligently to use heat, massage and ice to help untighted the muscles in my cheeks. I woke up today feeling a little more normal in my cheeks but I still feel like a chipmuck. I can wear makeup now and I have been going out in public for 3 days. I have only seen one of my best friends and I was glad that she wasn't shocked. She was really impressed with how smooth my face is. I am just self conscience about the lumps. Thanks for any suggestions. BB in Alexandria
You will look better every day. You sure the lumps aren't your glands under your neck. Thats what mine was. Also lipo will cause temporary lumping. I massaged mine out. Glad u are out and about. Vickie
