“Worst experience of my life”

Lifestyle lift: NOT worth it

Cost: $18,000
Pain: Worst possible
Lifestyle lift satisfaction: Poor1 Star Rating: Poor

Sounds like I had the same Dr. on probation in PA Moved to IL. Had to have a second surgery by a truly board certified plastic surgeon to correct the scars left by lifestyle lift. Had eye damage that will be with me forever. DO NOT DO THIS. If you are certain you want a lift, go to a real doctor that knows what they are doing. There are no bargains here. Takes longer than an hour to do -- try 3 to 4.

Takes longer to heal -- try 6 to 8 months. No going in public for at least 3 weeks or more. Stitches are removed by office people & you are lucky if you ever see a doctor again, or even if the office is still there when you call back.

If you think it cost $18,000, you never had a LSL. The cost was nowhere near that. I had a LSL, your 6-8 months to heal is complete baloney. I was back to work in 5 days and could have even gone back sooner but my boss gave me the time so I took it. Sounds like a competing doctor's fake review who doesn't even have his facts straight.

I think the reason she said it cost $18,000 is that she is including both the cost of the Lifestyle Lift and the revision surgery by a separate doctor.

I agree who ever wrote about it costing $18,000 isn't the real deal. I'm in the med field and I'm thinking about having the life style lift. Even if the person had further treatment to correct scars, it still would not even be near $18,000. Please get real here, this procedure is to help you look better not give you an overhaul. The reason I'm considering the Lifestyle lift, is to avoid the Anesthesia that is given during a full face lift. And the price is right! Everyone wants to know who the surgeon is. Ask who is the Anesthesiologist! They are the ones who take you under and bring you back! I can't even begin to tell you the horrible stories about anesthsia. I wonder how many of the stories written here are the real deal!

Just read your review of your Lifestyle Lift experience. I am also from the Pittsburgh, PA area and would be quite interested to know what type of facility you have your lift done at. We have such great hospitals and doctors in our area that it is surprising to read your negative experience. One of Pittsburgh's bragging points is that we have some of THE best doctors. I want to have the procedure done to help with my eyes and jaw line but I scar very easily. It will be very helpful if you give a little more detail regarding your experience. (Age, health status at the time of procedure, what type of facility and surroundings your lift was done in, etc.) (I'm 50 yrs. old and in great health.) By the way, my son is a nurse.

Lifestyle Lift was a total rip off to me. I noticed no results and my family members didn't notice an difference either. They will not refund any of your money either. And they don't want to do a redo either even after the doctor admitted I had slight subtle results in his own words. I have just turned them in to the Better Bussiness Bureau today. So, let's see where it goes from here. I'm suprised there is not a class action lawsuit against them yet. This company in my opinion is a total ripoff. I've done all I can to work with them with no avail.

WOW! I sure glad I read up on this because I had an appointment and the last thing anyone wants to do is take health risks, spend a lot of money for something that does not work and to have a company not sand behind their work. Thank you for your testimony!

I have the LSL on October, 2007 in Schaumburg, IL. Within a few weeks I started having knots pop up inder my chin and neck so the doctor went in again , cut a space on my neck and cut the knots out. Now I have loose skin because of what he did and do not try and call to get a main number because no one ever calls you back. I also keep having terrible problems with m y ear lobes because he actually sewed my ear lobes down. Would never recommend it mainly because after the surgery, you basically get no response to anything.

This sounds scary!!! I was thinking of going in for a consultation--I live in New Mexico, but now I don't think I'll do it. Has anyone in the Albuquerque area had it done. If so, let me know your outcome.
