Awesome - Phoenix

O.K. so I read all these reviews and experiences...

O.K. so I read all these reviews and experiences from people that had bad experiences. Well

1. Remember it is an incision and will leave a scar.

2. Don’t build great expectations

3.Do realize what you do as far as before care and after care are important?

Now I admit I was a little skeptical after reading a lot of bad stuff but I also see that they were from one area which was in Atlanta. Folks, my doctor and staff are awesome! I was awake the whole time I was in pain for one day. I did take the week off but honestly I could have gone back after 4 days. I am a 45 year old male. My first meeting the lady said I might be jumping the gun but I had lost and gained weight a few times so I wanted my shallow cheeks fixed not to mention the lines around my mouth. This was done. The stitches were so fine he could sew a great shirt. I would do this again in a heartbeat. I did research and choose my doctor of choice.

I'm sorry for people that didn’t get what they wanted, but the funny thing is it's not for everyone and people are going to complain no matter what. And there’s always a risk. I have had nothing but amazing compliments from friend and co-workers. So in my opinion understand, research the doctor and don’t build up expectations and realize it's a temporary fix. We get old no matter what.

Great review?

He knows what he is doing. His confidence is pure. Even, a little cocky this in my opinion “is good”. Double board certified, and has a private practice nose and ear specialist. And he studied at John Hopkins.

I agree with Rocky from phoenix and if your a big baby ,don't even think about it. YES I would do it again. I had under the chin , "the turkey gobbler" removed in Schaumburg, Ill. The clientele are awesome. Friendly, caring, very interested in your wellbeing. Couldn't have asked for more. Dr Kagan the best !! I'm 73, and would like my "eyes" done at some time ... and probably will....conilee

Has anyone had a Lifestyle Lift in Tampa, Florida?

Is anyone familiar with Dr. Karolak? I am scheduled for the 5th of January and after reading these comments, quite petrified.

I would ask for his own before and after pictures. but personally, i would not trust LSL with anything. If the founder had to have people post fake reviews on their results, this sounds like not only an awful procedure, but also a completely dishonest person peddling his wares. I'm having nothing to do with any of it.

Crystal,
Skepticism is good, shows caution. But if you never take chance's you don't have them. I am still very happy with my results, and you know, you don't have to believe this post. I healed and doing my eyes next. So good luck with your skeptical self. Me I look 10 years younger :-] and loving it. Doing my lower eyes next. Happy Holidays.

Rocky, that is awesome. However, I prefer to remain skeptical and beautiful vs "taking chance" with LSL and winding up botched and deformed.

I would much rather go to an actual and truly board certified plastic surgeon and have a facelift that we together deem proper instead of going to someone who had to resort to posting online fake reviews because his procedure is so awful... and then was busted for faking it to the public.

If you truly are a real patient and not one of his minions, then i am very happy that you had a good outcome. If so, you are in the minority of those who had a "postive" results.

And now that we know that LSL founder is in trouble for having his staff post fake review all over, including realself, that "44% who said it is worth it" is totally meaningless.

And if someone is having staff post so many fake reviews, and they STILL cannot break the 50% barrier of "worth it," that says a lot for how awful this procedure really is.
