“Not Worth It - FAIL - Seattle, WA”

Thanks Britt. Healing time much longer than expected. Still have numbness and some discoloration on face. I'm sorry I ever went through with it. Very expensive and already getting turkey neck back ...in just 6 months.

Thank you all for your comments. I felt like such a dummy for believing LSL Dr. I thought maybe it was just me. I hope others who are considering this procedure find this site and save their money. Dr. Santos did such a sloppy job, probably why he couldn't be in private practice and had to sign on to a "mill" type practice.

OK, here is the thing... YOU ARE NOT A DUMMY! There are so many women who have done this and then felt like they were crazy. I thought at a couple of points that I was going to loose my mind trying to get anyone at LSL to help me. You Are Not Alone! Please keep that in mind. You are doing other women a huge service by letting them know how your lift went. I have been called a lot of things for continuing to post, but guess what. I do not care. LSL did nothing what-so-ever for me except additional monies (mine, not thiers) to have my face fixed, a year of feeling like a dummie for falling for such a slick line of bull dodo and additional wrinkles that I did not have before. So, you are not alone!!! Stay in touch with us and let us know how you are doing. Best, Chrystal.

Wow, that is new and different. I have heard of so few women that have actually been called back by LSL that I will just pick my jaw up off the floor. I know how you feel. After my failed "procedure" the last person that I wanted to see was the guy that did that to me. I felt disfigured, stupid and gullible. I have read here at realself of women going back for a 2nd go round and none have been pleased as far as I know. I know that all surgery runs a risk for things going wrong. I think that LSL should disclose upfront the pain of the procedure along with how invasive the procedure really is, real recovery time & pictures of not only the good but the 55% bad, and I do not believe that the 55% is a true number (& the approval rating has been much lower). At least it shows that they are monitoring what is being said about them here at realself! Thanks realself for letting us tell the real story of what has happened to us. Best, Chrystal

I think that you are smart for not going back. I went back many times (at least 5 for follow up with another Dr. at LSL) -- they kept insisting that I go back to the original Dr. who also had a private practice in addition to working for LSL. I never knew that before I had the surgery. That would have been like a giant red light of warning, warning, something is wrong. On my last follow up my husband went with me. He could not believe that the LSL office was telling me that I looked fine and that my eyes were even -- the doctor tried to run a line of bull on him like she had been telling me and he called her bluff. She wilted like a flower out of water on a hot day. As we left she told me that she was sorry and that she did NOT have the expertise to fix what had been done to me. After all of that, finally she decided to admit to me that there was after all something very wrong with my "procedure". I still feel like LSL is still doing the same thing to other people but are on a mission to downplay the bad results by having women to post right after surgery of their good results. I do hope that the women who posted the good results will come back in 6 months to a year a post the final outcome. Best, Chrystal

I'm sorry for your results. While I have issues, I agree that I would be foolish to go back. Besides, I only saw Dr. Santos once in all the follow-up visits and that was just for about 1 minute. Always saw the "Techs" - not the Dr.
