Lifestyle Lift: Stories

I had the LSL 3 yrs ago. They did give me numbing shots around the area they operate. The only thing that hurt was the needles. I am still glad I did it. I also had a little smart lipo in my jowl area and I like the way I look. That was easier than going too the dentist too get a tooth filled.

Hi Rose I hope this finds you recovering nicely. I had my surgery on Dec 9, 2011 and was back at work on the 19th. I used Cetaphil cleanser from the drug store to clean my face, neck & behind my ears at least three times a day and I used St. Ives moisturizing lotion from Wal-Mart. I used baby shampoo for my hair. Luckily it was still cold outside in Dec so when I did go out I covered up with scarves & turtlenecks because I bruised from my chin to my chest. My skin felt tight for over a month but it wasn't uncomfortable. It took about three months before the feeling was back behind my ears and I am still healing because it itches every now and then. The only problem I had with pain was behind my ears and I think it was because of gravity pulling the skin downward. I went back to work within 10 days and I work 10-11 hours a day, so the first week or so at work was hard only because I had laid around for 10 days and didn't get up and walk around alot to get used to gravity pulling down of my skin. I was really lucky that I had lost all swelling by the 3rd- 4th day. I am so glad I had this done and Dr. Hicks was a great doctor. I would be glad to know how you are doing and how your surgery went. And another thing, as soon as I got the sutures out I felt like a new person. Coninue to use the ointments and creams they suggested because they do help. I coninued using them until they were all gone and I still use the Cetaphil as a cleanser on my neck & face. Please post some before & after photos. And I kept a photo diary every day so after I healed I could go back and see day by day how I had improved.

HsMessnger - You had the things I want to have done. Are you allowed to say approximately how much it cost?

I think I posted the full cost on my profile.

Sue I do remember you and would love to know how you are doing. Post some pictures so we can see your before & after results.

Thank you

I didn't have much pain at all. A little behind the ears as gravity was pulling down but this was gone in a few weeks. The bruising lasted about 3-4 weeks but I covered it with make-up & turtle necks.

HsMessnger,
I wanted you to clear something up with you.

On "Aliice's" review page, LSL Ontario, CA, you made the statement to Aliice that, "As long as you and I are happy with our outcomes, that's all that matters." I found this statement to be out of character for someone who claims to have had God on her shoulder along with an angel. If your Christian beliefs promote such selfishness and self-centeredness ...well my pastor said perhaps you should seek spiritual counseling else where. I'm just saying...

let the one without sin be the first one to cast stones! you have no right to judge this lady or question her christianity. god said judge not least you be judged. god wants us to take care of the vessel that he lent us for just a short while. as long as she is not vain i dont think she is sining god wants us to be happy he gave this talent to the drs and some people need it to make their life better. you probably had an easy life and look 30 forever. what about the people that have had a rough life through no fault of their own. maybe they have been a victim of an acholic partenter and or a victim of domestic violence. do u not think they have every right to have a normal life? what about people who lose weight, i lost 50 lbs and my wrinkles became 10 times fold. if i could afford it i would have it done. i need to lose more weight but stopped because my skin is sagging so. i gained through no fault of my own. i almost died the drs gave me less than a 10 percent chancee of even coming off the operating table. then i gained weight like crazy because of medicine and not being able to do any physcial activities for over a year. im just saying facts are different for each case. so dont start judging before u know the facts..
