How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

It's been over two years since my Life Style Lift, and I would CAUTION everyone first of all to NOT do this, but if you are determined to, PLEASE go to a PRIVATE, BOARD CERTIFIED PLASTIC SURGEON and pay a little more if need be, and have this procedure done correctly so you can have good follow up care. It would be SO worth it!!
Only in the last 6 months has my face felt more like normal. I've had both a massage therapist and a chiropractor tell me that my range of motion while turning my head isn't good. I still have a small lump in my left cheek, and my scars are still noticeable as they curve around the earlobe. Also, what limited results achieved are NOT worth the pain and trauma and possible permanent damage. Thank you and love yourself for who you are and the way God created you! :)

I am writing this review 2½ months after my lifestyle lift surgery: Here is a synopsis of what I have experienced:
1. 10 or 15 minutes after 1 valium and 1 anti nausea drug (not really enough time for these to take effect) a topical anesthetic was wiped on my skin, and then 10 – 15 VERY painful shots were given, all around the jaw line and around the ears.
2. I was able to feel what was going on during the entire procedure, including cutting and very tight pulling. (Not the pain of it, but the sensation.)
3. I couldn’t chew for 5-7 days…could only have a liquid diet during this time.
4. I experienced a LOT of pain during the healing, especially the first 2 to 3 weeks.
5. Of course, there was swelling and bruising, which is to be expected.
6. I experienced one ear that was VERY sore, and I could hardly tolerate having my glasses sit on this ear for probably at least a month.
7. My neck was VERY tight and sore when I would turn my head for the first month and a half. This has gotten better, but still is quite noticeable.
8. I had (and still have) numbness and a tingling feeling in front of, beneath and behind my ears and around the jaw line (I had liposuction under the chin, and the jowl area.) For what small improvement in looks I've experienced, I don't recommend this procedure, and I've experienced no MAJOR complications, like some women have! (The possible side effects far outweigh the limited benefits.)
