Please read the comments If you do this in Atlanta you will be making a big mistake. You do not see the physician until the day of the procedure. They do not keep medical notes of the procedure which is quite odd. And forget about follow up care. They provide very little if at all. There is a Dr. Lawrence Gross in Stockbridge and Peachtree City. As a RN I sent a patient to him for a cheek implant. He is patient detailed and very good. Also just so you know the Lifestyle Lifts prices are the same as regular plastic surgeons. The Lifestyle lift physicians are not board certified in plastic surgery.They are ENT specialists. I had mine done in Atlanta, no follow up shooed me away after I paid them 7000.00.This was before I knew all of this. And yes went on line and they make statements that lead you to believe that they are board certified in plastic surgery but they are not. I also wanted little down time. I have still not recovered. My sister was so mad. My face looked like a train ran over it. I had mine now 4 mos ago and still have knots in my face and am treating wtih Dr. Gross to clear up my problem. They are having to do ultrasound treatments on me. Still very painful face.
I had a lifestyle lift in Atlanta paid almost 7000.00 Dr.Whitaker.And after the surgery checked around and found that you can get a face lift the same price with other MDs.The major reason I went there is because they act like you will be back to work the next day. Well I looked like a train ran over my face. Out of work 3 weeks.My sister was horrified when she saw me a week later. I am a RN and thought I had checked this out. I had the surgery 3 months ago a few days before she went on maternity leave. I let them have it when I went back in and told them that my face needs correcting. Told them that I would have never had my face done by her if I had known she would be leaving not available for follow up care if needed.That brings me to follow up care. I have come to a conclusion that they will not do follow up care. They take your money and if you have to come in they do nothing, no additional medications nothing. As suspected they put me in with another doctor, who did absolutely nothing told me to come back in several months?? Trying to get rid of me. To this date I have stinging and burnning in my face and two large knots which are visable. They want you to go away and they do not want to do follow up care. I am now treating with another physician, who is giving me ultrasound treatments and trying to fix this mess. I also discovered that they do not take notes during the surgery. Nothing. I am not sure how the utilization review organization of Ga are letting these people get away without taking notes in the surgery. (procedure notes). As a RN I have never in my life heard of this. No documentation in surgery? I am going back into see Dr. Whitaker in Sept when she comes back to give her a piece of my mind. If this keeps anyone out there from using them, I hope this works. BEWARE
I had my lift done on 5/16/2010 by Dr. Whitaker. As a registered nurse I was surprised that I was not examined by her at the initial appointment and found that to be odd. That a proper history and physical was not done. I did not let that bother me so much as I did review her bio education. Well I had the surgery and like the others had this procedure due to the fact that I work a lot and could not have much down time. Well.. I looked like a train ran over me. Absolutely horrible for a week. I am still swollen a month later. Not only that I went back in yesterday as now I have a two large knots on each side of my lower face that stick out and are very noticable. They feel like very hard large fluid filled cysts. I paid almost $7000.00 dollars for the service. When I told them I had problems with my face and went in to the office they went out of their way to hide me and brush me off now that they have my money. Even suggested that I would have to give them more money as I may need to have another liposuction however I have to wait 6 mos. By then they will more than likely forget who I am. I cannot shake the fact on how they treated me in the office. From queen to stranger. I told them that if I knew that if Dr. Whitaker had been that close to delivering her baby I would never had allowed her to operate on me. Even though my neck is a little better, my jowls do not look like they were liposuctioned. I made it very clear that they will correct my face, however I am not so sure. I have been very upset over this. As a medical professional this is even more embarrassing.
