Highly Recommend!! - Birmingham, MI

I've been reading plastic surgeons answering questions about the LSL. My procedure was performed by a plastic surgeon. I did meet with her weeks before my surgery.

The surgery itself did involve incisions that started in my temple area, all the way around my ear, then a 45 degree continuing incision a good 2-3 inches into the back of my scalp. She did a chin incision, used lipo, then sewed my platysmal muscles together.

My neck skin is smooth & tight....no wrinkles! The blephroplatsy (lower eye lids) got rid of the fat bags under my eyes! Yes, I do have some crow's feet, but hey, I'm 64, so I don't mind those! This surgery was explained as a subtle facelift and that's exactly what I got! My surgery was exactly one yr. ago today! I'n still very happy with the results and do recommend it! But, it's up to the patient to check out the Doc who's doing the surgery!

Did they finally fix all your problems to your satisfaction? I asked LSL about your postings BEFORE I had my procedure. They would only say that sometimes patients don't follow all the pre & post protocols and that affects their outcomes! I was VERY happy with my results!

I had great results with my LSL and no pain. I'm curious, did you take the pain meds, use ice packs and use the scar zone cream, etc?? Was the LSL surgeon a licensed plastic surgeon?

Yes, I did have the procedure, almost a year ago now! It was a very interesting experience! I'd recommend it! Lifestyle Lift is done right in their office, without general anesthesia. That's why they can charge affordable prices! I took advantage of their financing program, which is 18 months with no interest!

The results depend on the surgeon and the patient! You're given detailed instructions on what to do before and after the surgery. If you do your part, you'll be very pleased with your results! I had the Lifestyle Lift & the lower blepharoplasty (under eye fat removal) & couldn't be happier!

The procedure itself was completely painless, EXCEPT for the local anesthetic shots! They hurt, but only the 1st few! My recovery was COMPLETELY PAINLESS!! No discomfort at all! Yes, I had bruising & swelling, but the noticable stuff goes away in a few days. No makeup for a few weeks, so prepare to spend time at home! It's certainly NOT a "back to work in a few days" procedure!

I'm very happy with the results!

I'm scheduled to have a Lifestyle Lift next week with Dr. Ruthie McCrary in Troy, MI She's a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. She has her own practice in the area as well.

I've done a lot of checking online and am somewhat hesitant after reading the negative reviews.

Can someone besides Chrystal Eckes
comment on their experiences there?

I do feel very confident about the Dr. and fully understand the issues with the recovery.
