I am totally disguested with lifestyle,i am 52 years old and did not have any issues with sagging skin except my neck under my chin i had the turkey neck, i put 1/2 the money down and was taken in a room to watch a viedo. when the viedo was done a consultant came into the room and we talked about my concerns, she turned me to a mirror and with her finger tips pulled back my skin and said that is what i will look like, that my downtime would be a max of 2 weeks, but i would be able to go back to work after 1 week. i was excited and made my appointment for January 29th.

the day of the surgery i was taken into a room and fed 2 valium and 2 vicoden. i woke some during the surgery and the tech told me i was 1/2 way done. it was verypainful!! My girlfriend drove me home and told me not to look in the mirror. when i got home i was fed pain meds around the clock, 2 days later i took the bandages off and could not belive the bruising on my face, i did not return to work for 2 weeks even then people knew i could not hide all the bruising.

within a month the bruisws faided, with in 2 months i thought it was beautiful i loved it butttt the swelling was still there by the 3rd month i made a appointment to go back to my doctor i was totally unhappy. i was told to use this wash and this cream on my face which cost another $225.00 i want to do whatever it took, i was told to come back in 3 month that I would be totally healed and if i was unhappy they would make it right.

today i went to my appointment, met with the doctor and manager they both ganged up on me and told me i should be happy with the procuder that i have signifcant results, i could not belive my eyes were they looking at the same pictures?? my neck was horrible and i still have sagging, they continued to tell me the results were fine, i left asking for a totally copy of my medical records which is another $10.00 i told them i am seeking legal counsel that what there doing is lying to clients and making promise that they refuse to make right.

i was told by the manger that posting this is childish, but i want the world to know dont do it read these reviews we dont have anything to gain by posting this !

I had lsl a year snd 2 months ago.you can see my before and after pics and these is no differance except I am out 6100.oo and I have nerve damage to my face. This company needs to be put out of buiss. They take peoples hard earned money, hack up there face rehang there ears and call it a day, once the swelling goes away there is nothing the same jowels and sagging neck you had when you went there in the first place. Take my advise run away quickly and use your money for a real plastic surgeon.

SOUNDS LIKE THE SAME SCENERIO THAT I WENT THROUGH
IN PHOENIX A FEW YEARS AGO...

THEY COULD CARE LESS WHAT HAPPENS TO YOU ONCE THEY
GET THAT MONEY.... ITS BIG BUSINESS, AND ITS TOO BAD
THAT THEY CANT BE STOPPED WITH THEIR FALSE ADVERTISING. IT MAKES ME SICK EVERY TIME I SEE THEIR
INFOMERCIALS... ITS ALL A LOT OF HYPE....

GOOD LUCK IN GETTING ANY REIMBURSEMENT.

Cindy,
What did they do to your eyes?

Cindy 51,
You can post your Drs name in the ratings portion where the starts are. Just not in the text as the way I understand it. You should post it and let everybody see this person. Really they should be exposed. Bless your heart. I'm right there with you on not letting them get away with this.

I am surprised at the negative comments I see posted. I had the procedure done at the Dallas center over 2 months ago. All the staff were wonderful. My experience was great, the doctor was wonderful, and I am glad I had it done. Any calls or any questions I have had have been answered promptly and professionally. I read the profiles of all the doctors before I chose the one to do my procedure. I am a 65 year old Proud Grandmother of 2 and one on the way so I was not expecting to look 25 or 30 again. The sagging skin on my jaw line is gone and some of the lines on my face have smoothed out. I did not want a drastic look. I just wanted to look refreshed and Get Rid of The Sagging Jaw Line. I feel good about the way I look, my husband smiles more when he looks at me, and I am very happy I had the procedure done. I did not experience any pain and the discomfort from the swelling was minimal. I followed the after care instructions to a "T" and recovery was short. My conversations with other patients at the followup appointment were all positive like mine. I am sorry you had such a terrible experience but I know the Dallas center is great and their staff is very caring.

Response to you're comment about the Dallas Center...those people are horrible, this is all a scam, but I do't completely blame them, I do take responsibility for the disaterous results I received at the hands of these monsters...I am horrifically scared for life. I did threaten to take my photos to the media outlet unless I received my money back and I did get it. I am just so sorry that I ever stepped into that place and I too get very I'll each time I see one of the LSL informercials. Anyone considering this, pleeeeeeeez don't, consult a plastic surgeon. I will be wearing wigs the rest of my life trying to hide the scares. I do agree that a class action law suite should be filed if for nothing, but false advertising.

I am sorry for your experience--I now wear my hair differently so that it hides my scars. I still have to pull it back at work but I wear a mask so that kind of hides the scars I have. I have absolutely no idea how these people have gotten away with disfiguring women's faces. It is on my bucket list to go and stand in their waiting room
and show the people in there what you can wind up looking like.
bjgawle 2 Feb 2012
I am so sorry this happed to you but keep up the momentum of letting everyone know.I have been doing that since I had the procedure in 2009 and it is finialy getting around and more people are telling others it is also my gold to tell everyone I can to try and stop them from this false advertinsing. It is in the Florida Attorney Generals office being investagated it has been going on almost two years now we are all hoping to see somekind of results soon. Keep up the good work.
bjgawle 2 Feb 2012
Sounds like a commercial but glad to hear you were not scared and joing the rest of the victims.
bjgawle 2 Feb 2012
The above post was for jmd in Fort Worth.....
bjgawle 2 Feb 2012
I was happy to hear you got your money back..I do agree there should be a law suit.
UGLYSCARS 2 Feb 2012
I have to laugh at jmd too. I didn't want a drastic look either but I sure got one!! no results just nasty ugly scars !!! see the pictures.
bjgawle 2 Feb 2012
I had to smile a little as well...Sounds like a comercial...Glad to hear she is OK and does not have to join all the rest of us victims.
jmd in Fort Worth 2 Feb 2012
Why do people have to be so critical and sarcastic of someone that had a good experience just because they had a bad one. I DO NOT consider myself a VICTIM because I had good results. For all the people posting their greviences there are many more who are satisfied with their results and are not on line being critical. If I had any issues I sure would not hesitate to speak my mind and do something about it. I would be consulting a lawyer if I was that displeased. Each person's experience is going to be different. I know a woman who had plastic surgery done by a Plastic Surgeon a few years ago. Her face was pulled so tight that it looked horrible. I always thought she was a beautiful lady before that procedure. Not sure why she had it done.
If I feel good about my procedure and about myself, I see no reason why someone should be critical and sarcastic toward me. I understand your frustration and I certainly would do something about it if I was in your position but don't try to make me part of your grevience.
jmd in Fort Worth 2 Feb 2012
Laugh at me all you want but I did my research on the doctor and the procedure before the procedure and I have no issues. Do you people spend all your time complainig on line or are you actually doing something about your dissatisfaction?
bjgawle 2 Feb 2012
For your information we are all dong something.
bjgawle 2 Feb 2012
I think we told you we were very happy for your great results..... and you were not one of the "VICTIMS" BE HAPPY DON'T WORRY !!!!
UGLYSCARS 2 Feb 2012
no amount of research could have helped me ---LSL did not give me any post op instructions to follow after one of their crazy doctors decided ( I think he forgot what he was doing) to give me the full face lift--he was a board certified Plastic Surgeon that was working for this meat ball outfit----research??? I thought LSL was so great......are you saying this is my fault?
I dont think so
2trusting 2 Feb 2012
jmd,
Out of curiosity, just how did you research the doctor and the procedure before hand. Maybe you can share this for the community and help people out!!
UGLYSCARS 3 Feb 2012
thats a great question since I just trusted them and their promises of it being a "lunch time" lift. If I would have had a crystal ball and could have seen what that wacko surgeon was going to do to me I would NEVER have had it done. Trust is part of a relationship you have ---with your medical community. HA!
bjgawle 3 Feb 2012
I agree that is what I believed that a Dr had moral oblications to tell you the truth....that did not happen.
bjgawle 3 Feb 2012
I agree with you...They knew all about the bad results and failed to jumb off the band wagon to save themselves and the patients they were working on but they just continued to do the same thing to all that came in trusting them.
jmd in Fort Worth 3 Feb 2012
If I had the same results as you did I would have taken the same steps as you did. You deserved your money back and even more than that. Viewing yourself as "Ugly Now" has no monetary price that can repay that. Don't let this change your view of yourself. Each of us has beauty inside as will as outside and I'm sure your possess both. I would, however, not agree with you that the people at the Dallas center "are horrible". I was treated very couteously by each one I came in contact with from the consultant, to the accounts payable, the receptionist and the medical assistant as well as the doctor. The staff are just doing their jobs and should not be lumped in with the horrible performance of the doctor, who rightly deserves whatever punishment he gets. He should not be on the staff nor should he have access to any more patients.
ugly now 3 Feb 2012
You are completely right, they admitted to me, that the results I got were typical. Thieves totally unacceptable and immoral. The people commenting on how it's not that bad, if I were to post photos of what happened to me they would certainly change their mind, it literally looks like someone attempted to remove my face from my temple to behind my ear down the bottom of my hair line...I put on my makeup in very dim light and have been doing this for the last 5 years. Eventually I will go get the face lift needed to correct this, just waiting for the courage. The sad thing about all rbis, I never needed this, only a filler but was not told this, they duped me into thinking I would have a small scare behind my ear, but once they numbed me I had no idea the extent of cutting they were doing on my face...I did turn them into the,medical board, but of course they said I was told of me possibly getting keloids and that is what I had experienced, at this point it was not worth it to me, I've just moved on and plan to have surgery sometime this year by a real plastic surgeon.
2trusting 3 Feb 2012
And how did you research the doctor and the procedure again, JMD???
ugly now 3 Feb 2012
At this point my method of research does not matter and my advise to anyone considering this, do yourselves a favor and seek out a,qualified plastic surgeon. To those of you who were lucky enough to get good results that's great, but what I'm saying is it is not worth putting yourself in danger like this, these people don't even have a backup plan,should an emergency arise, when most of the surgery centers are located in an office building... do you think they have hospital privledges anywhere...hind sight is a good teacher.
