My aunt also had an arrogant, insulting doctor with absolutely NO bedside manner, not to mention that he incorrectly stitched her up and made her tongue numb and paralyzed. He now has to do another surgery to fix this (this will make #3...the 2nd one was to fix a botched first LSL). Lifestyle Lift needs to be put out of business. They are butchers who put inexperienced surgeons to work in their offices, use inadequate equipment, they lie about everything from the time it takes to heal to the pain involved to the actual result (which is NOT EVER as described in the office). This is a business first, at a very distant second is it a legitimate surgical facility. RUN AWAY!! Don't darken the door of any LSL "practice" unless you want to gamble with your face.

RUN AWAY!!! My aunt had a botched surgery last year where her muscle was not attached properly. She just had a re-do surgery last week and now...her tongue is numb and she is talking like she's had a stroke. She now has to go through yet ANOTHER surgery to correct that with no promise of it being back to normal. The surgeon that was brought in this past year to basically "clean up" the mess that the inexperienced surgeons made last year had the worst possible things to say about the Lifestyle Lift company. He said they put patients in unsafe conditions with inadequate equipment for surgery...but LL will never disclose the dangers to patients. It is horrifying - the pain and problems my aunt is experiencing is just ONE story of many who have unfortunately gone to the Lifestyle Lift facilities. We are here in Nashville/Franklin TN. DO NOT HAVE ANYTHING DONE BY LIFESTYLE LIFT. I cannot stress this enough. It is a business that is only interested in making money. I am doing everything in my power to get the word out about this awful company and spare others from the pain and disfigurement that my aunt and others have already experienced. Go to a real plastic surgery office - not this sham of a "practice."

A family member of mine just had a Lifestyle Lift done here in Franklin, TN and it has been a nightmare! The first surgery was performed by an inexperienced doctor (who is no longer with this practice). He did not re-attach the muscle properly and she started to sag again. She just went in for a second surgery to fix the first one and said the pain was 10 times worse than the first. She said it felt like someone was shoving a chisel down inside her skin during the lipo portion of the surgery. (Sorry to be so graphic...but I just want people in the Franklin, TN area to be very aware of this SHAM of a practice called Lifestyle Lift Franklin/Nashville) The surgeon's name is Dr. Raja Atiyah and he ignored her complaints of excruciating pain during surgery saying "Oh, it doesn't hurt that bad." (Unbelieveable!!) He also insulted her and was physically harsh with her neck & head during surgery which has caused massive soreness (yes, she was awake). There were 2 other people in the waiting room with messed up faces, disfigured ears & necks. I can't speak for other centers in the U.S. but if anyone is considering going to the one here in Franklin, TN - WARNING: DO NOT DARKEN THE DOOR OF THIS PLACE. My family is doing everything possible to shut this place down or at least make the community aware of the dangers of undergoing any kind of surgery here.
