I decided to have a Lifestyle Lift, and had a positive experience from the onset. The staff was so supportive and the surgery itself was a great success. I consulted with Dr. Robledo, waited another month until my weight loss goals was met, then came in for my procedure with full confidence.
My recovery was smooth because I followed Dr. Robledo's careful instruction to the letter. Now I am 6 months out post procedure. I look 15 years younger, I feel 25 years younger an the attention I receive is priceless. I have a new found confidence that is worth every dime and can never thank Dr. Robledo enough for his skill and compassion.
My Doctor: Jose Robledo, MD
My rating:
I can't say enough positive things about each profession who assisted me in the process, from my consultant, to the desk staff, all nursing assistants and surgical assistants straight to my wonderful surgeon, Dr. Robledo. I stellar experience that I will never regret.

Hi all -- This is a thread for Bobbi to share her Lifestyle Lift experience. You're absolutely welcome to ask questions about her surgery, recovery, etc. but please do not post belligerent comments or accusations that she is not authentic. We all have a story to share in our reviews, whether it's positive or negative, and everyone is welcome to post their experience on RealSelf without feeling attacked.
Please feel free to PM me if you have any questions.
Thank you,
--Sharon
Sharing a story on RealSelf should never be considered "throwing yourself into the fire." That is the antithesis of what the site is all about. Everyone gets a chance to write their review and tell their story; when the authenticity of that story is questioned (and yes, "Are you a LSL employee?" is confrontational), or suggestions are made that what's been written isn't good enough, it is demeaning to the person who has taken the time to put their experience out there and have their vote counted.
In short, everybody gets a platform to share their story, judgement-free.
We treat everyone the same, whether they've had a good experience or otherwise. I'm the community manager of the LSL section, so I read 99.9% of the comments that get posted, and I step in when necessary. But we don't always catch everything, so if there's something you feel is inappropriate and we've missed it, please message me and I'll look at it.
I know you have a lot to do and I know you have deleted a lot of nasty comments and mine as well when I go over the top on response. And I appreciate the community you keep very much, and I will definitely remember the judgement free part when my review and pictures are finally posted. So many comments about why didn't "we" the unhappy ones, just except what we have and get on with our lives, lose some weight, get a new hair style, wear a more pleasant expression, take our *&%#@ rants elsewhere, we've been asked to get off and stop scaring people, and on and on. You have realize it is stressful enough to post a negative experience and be accusingly told that well if you didn't check on your dr. then oops on you. One woman said to another, I guess since you and I are happy that's all that matters... I'm sorry that doesn't create an atmosphere of open sharing.... if something is too raw or accusatory with inappropriate language I know you will delete it and we all appreciate what you do so much I just can't say it enough. We know you have to let things be said, and sometimes I'm glad that you do. It shows a persons character in their postings and that in a big way expresses what I wanted to say. Thank you tor keeping up all the love and good work that you do. This open forum is what free speech is all about.
I also just want to point out that having talked to other surgeons since I had the work done, the truth comes out. Guess we should know this. Any lift does not last you a lifetime. You are right about the 5-8 yrs but I also learned that the older you are those years will be less. We can't stop the aging process which speeds up as we get older (makes sense). So a woman in her 40's results will last longer than a woman in her 60's. I don't remember hearing that when I choose to have it done but now I understand that every person is different on how they heal and how their body/skin responds to surgery as well.
Also, you are the ONLY person on any of these sites who lost numbness/tightness in 6 months. Ummmmm.......pretty amazing.
Just wondering what influenced you in choosing this doctor over his partner who was trained at Johns Hopkins?
So, to try and compare a LSL surgeon who is doing it FOR EXTRA INCOME, is an insult to those doctors who take their oath seriously. They operate on US in a DENTAL chair for their EXTRA INCOME. Nice, isn’t it?
