Lifestyle Lift: Stories

I am trying to post pics today I said I had to get someone to take them guess you just dont listen or you read and hear what you want they will be posted I have them now but I am having trouble getting on wireless and it takes for ever on dialup but they will be there trust me . And there is no way you can be cut without scares mine are already hardly visible but I am sure there will always be at least a faint line there.
I have a right to be happy with them they were great to me and never misled me about anything.

I will gladly show you pictures of my ears if I can get someone to take pictures of them you cant see the ones in front and the ones behind are healing nicely it has only been 6 weeks still doing mederma sorry that you are so geoleous of someone who has a good experience.
I went today for my 6 week check up and after photos people that were in there were amazed how good I looked and they never had the surgery yet took a friend that is having it thurs I am sorry if you had a bad whatever but dont try to make me feel bad for being happy.
You all sound the same did you think there are no scares on your ears from a face lift mine are nothing and will fade even more with time but I knew they were cutting my ears where are the scares suppose to go?
You either heal good or you dont not to say that some drs are not better than others but if I am going to have my face ripped off I am going to make sure he is a good dr.
I will try to get pics of ears tommorow and post will that make you happy or will you say that they are not my ears email me I will give you my address and you can come visit and see for yourself just let me know what day so I am not at Life style lift working HA HA.
W ith the experience I had I would gladly work for them.

She does have photos of her ears. Look at her review. I did - she was very thorough in her photos. Her results and review helped me in making my decision.

Lots of Plastic Surgeons do face lifts without putting you to sleep but only lately because of the compitition from lifestyle lift. drs always want you to be asleep because it is easier for them and it keeps you quiet I have had 2 knee surgerys awake and said I would never go to sleep again if I did not have to the worst part of recovery is the anethesia i have asthma and dont do well with it so probably would have never had a lift if it wasnt for them advertising no general anethesia.
Got my after pictures today so much for doctoring they did nothing to my pics and my own look better than theirs.
It is ok to say want you think is the truth but dont run us happy people down I am sure when you had it done if you did you were hoping for a great result.
I am happy anyone wants to visit me at work or home email me privatly and I will give you my address that is the only way you will believe me I think my pictures speak for themselves but oh well if you want to pick on someone I guess Ime it if it makes you happy then carry on.
Stay posted for picture of ears than I want to see yours.

Oh Deb - please don't give anyone your address. You never know who might come knocking. Reasonable people will be able to sort through the truth, hype and lies. You look beautiful. It is so sad that some got bad results. Like you said though, that's the surgeon, not the company. And you can never reason with a bitter person :(

Check out the individual doctor who is working on you before having any kind of surgery. That's just common sense.

So I thought LSL was supposed to have SERIOUSLY vetted all the drs who work for them. Isn't that part of their fallacious gushing promotionals? They,the Lenzcrafters of plastic surgery are in hot water, and their director of medical affairs is long gone.
How many legitimate businesses that you know of are being investigated by the Attorney Generals? That ain't no lie OR hype! Your right, for heavens sake, Deb don't give your address out over this site! That's not smart to do over the internet. It's better to go through the "leave a private message". I'm so glad you are happy, but I wear my hair up a lot and I couldn't put up with those scars you ended up with. My mother-in-law got a face lift from a plastic surgeon years ago and you could hardly see her scars. She was in her 60's when she got it done.
This whole thing with people saying "oh your skin must have been too thin, you must be a poor healer, you this you that, bitter etc. get a grip. Do not put us down when you have not walked in our shoes! If we were any of those things, then LSL should not have told us we were perfect candidates for the job! Many people have gone back in for 2nd and 3rd re-dos to fix the botched jobs, and they have suffered all the more for continueing to try to get help from the ones that gave them the damage in the first place, being refered to other LSL surgeons to "fix" them.

IF YOU CANNOT BELIEVE THAT LSL COMPLETELY CHECKS OUT ALL THEIR DRS AND TRAINS THEM...LIKE THEY SAY THEY DO, AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED YOU'RE NOT ABLE TO BELIEVE ANY THING ELSE THEY SAY. THE CONSULTANTS ARE SALES PEOPLE AND THE DRS ARE NOT VETTED BY LSL, ANYONE CAN CONTRACT WITH THEM, AND THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE RESULTS. WHAT KIND OF REPUTABLE PLACE OPERATES LIKE THAT? NOT ONE THAT I KNOW OF !

So, "that's just common sense", Drs records are hidden deep within State Files and the secrets they carry there are not all that easy to access esp for a generation which is not necessarily up to all the computer savy things you have to know to get there.

According to LSL using them is supposed to put you right in there with "the very best" Soooooo, I guess they just don't have good judgement, right ???????

I only had surgery 8 weeks ago and my scars are almost gone there is none in front and behind one ear is almost gone and the other one is just pink in a couple of months I am sure I could wear my hair up.
I have a lot of friends who have had face lifts and they all were cut behind ears there is no other way to get a good result but many of them wear their hair up and if you look really close you can see faint scars but the only reason people look that close is because they want to know why someone that old looks that good . I will take faint scars over a turkey neck anyday I have to look so close to see my scars now that if they did not get better I would not complain but I know they are still healing.

-I also had the 'Lifestyle Lift". It was horrifying!!! Was left with a two inch long 'flap' of skin that was caused by the excessive lipo,..but it hung down underneath my neck on one side.
I then had a second-because they would not refund my money so that I could see a BETTER/REAL Dr. for the much needed revision.Now..I am talking out of the right side of my mouth,because they pulled the left side much tighter than the right,..and am left with a huge lump/Keloid scar in front of my right ear with my ears crooked,one bent forward and completely different,and not even at the same height.My glasses wont even sit straight,so I just do without.
...All that money,two years of pain and healing..and am left looking like a freak.
Now the Company is being sued-AGAIN! and all FOUR had the same Dr.that I had.
So glad that you had such a delightful experience,but REGARDLESS-IT WILL LOOK THE SAME IN A FEW MONTHS.

Sorry for your bad experience it really sucks because it is such a hard decision to have surgery in the first place and all the expectations that go along with it.
I would have been horrified if it would have turned out bad believe me I thought about it alot before surgery I even told my friends if it turns out bad please just dont say anything I will aready feel bad enough . I was lucky had a great surgeon and it will not look the same it a few months it will look even better then I see improvments all the time and do feel blessed and wish everyone could have the same results .

-yes-mcken58-!!!
1) they "never" told me that they were going to slice me up,cut behind my ears,or that they were going to cut my muscles-!!! it was supposed to be a 'little nip' in front of my ears.they also never told me that i would receive literally hundreds of stitches,and stab after stab with a needle to numb my skin-i mean twenty? thirty-? or that i'd be wide awake and feel the blood pour down my neck.it was truly horrifying!!! 'who' would actually say-'sure'-!!! you can do 'all that' to me-!!!
-i never would have done it-if that were the case!!! i was told that i could probably go back to work the next day!!! i have a child at home,pets,and full time job.they outright lied !!!
2) absolutely it was not an hour-!!! my daughter was out in the waiting room for about 5 hours-missing work. another outright lie-!!!

3)they absolutely did wait until i was completely groggy and just a minute before they wheeled me in to the operating room-to hand me papers to sign,..but it was a few-'not' the 20,or 3o that they produced with my signatures and initials.that didn't happen.i would 'never' agree 'not' to sue them if they did this to me!!! that's why they want you groggy when they shove papers in front of your face a minute before surgery!!! they are liars and cheats,and i am scarred for life-even after two surgeries.i now talk out of the right side of my mouth,have both ears moved in different areas/directions,and a huge keloid scar in front of my right ear.

i received page after page from a writer for a local paper showing me the actual lawsuit filed this july from four people who had the same dr.that i did at lsl.he has opened his own practice not far from there.
they should be imprisoned,not just sued for false advertising.

You are commenting on her pictures where are yours lets see your nightmare.
I am going today for my 6 week check up and it gets better everyday and nobody ever told me there would only be little scars in front of my ears.
Sometimes I think we are so excited to get plastic surgery that we dont listen to all that is important just want to know how great we are going to look afterwards.
People die all the time from plastic surgery it is surgery and some people are not healthy enough to have it but take risks to look beautiful.
Also everyone who has surgery does not do what they are suppose to before and after to get good results like stop smoking drinking get lots of rest drink plenty of water to keep skin hydrated to help healing. All these things were told to me in great detail and I took them seriously.
You would not want them to talk gloom and doom to you but you see the news and hear horror stories about surgery all the time so why are you surprised that a company that has done over 100,000 facelifts would have 2 deaths sounds like good odds to me.
Most people that have face lifts are older to start with so that already is a risk.
I am just saying if everyone had such a bad result lets see it I dont see very many pictures of bad results just scars behind ears some people scar badly and that can not be helped by the best surgeon in the world.
If you go on the face lift site there are the same complaints about scaring and numbness etc.
They just cut your face off what do you expect to feel perfect in a week?

OOOOPS, my finger slipped on the word FREEDOM. Didn't mean to misspell that wonderful word.

Hi 2trusting,

Thanks for your reply.

Being called a "fake" is what I meant by personal attacks. I think that's a bit harsh for anyone. It takes guts to put your story and photos out there, and then to have it called fake? That would send me running! :)

We have the same standards for the comments directed at unhappy LSL patients; we remove everything we see that violates our guidelines, but if we've missed anything please send it to me. Nobody deserves to have their personal experience called into question, whether they've been called an idiot or, in Lisa's case, a fake.

I don't know if her photos are beneficial to the community. She looks good, but we have no idea what she looked like before (and I mean that nicely, Lisa ;). But I don't think her review would look more real without photos, and she did post them, so ??. As long as we give her the benefit of the doubt and don't immediately assume she's fake because her photos aren't clinical before and after shots, that's all I'm asking.

Thanks again for your comments!

Dear Sharon I think that this web site is a little maybe a lot on the side of a handful of complainers these people have said terrible things to people and you allow it.
This person 2 trusting who has no pictures no proof but critisises every positive post is allowed to say awful things and you delete my one comment about her.
I think you need to take her off or make her show proof of surgery gone wrong before she calls every positive person on here a liar.
She just runs everyone off with her nastiness so all you have left is unhappy people no wonder the ratings look so bad.
DEB

Folks, I did not write a "fake" positive review. I just happen to be busy. I love my lift and there is no fake or slick anything going on here.
