LivingTheDream

to jackie, scripted??? i am just telling you what i experienced. i researched this for months b/c i was very afraid and wanted to hear other peoples experiences, good and bad. that is what lead me to this website. there isn't anything on here about the quicklift and wanted to share myu experience. i was fortunate that my outcome was good. i will say that now that i am 6 months out (had it done in june) that i am still happy but now that all the swelling has disappeared, some of the wrinkles have returned. they are much fewer and less deep. still i am very happy.

The Lifestyle Lift and the Quicklift are NOT the same. The Quicklift lifts the muscle underneath not just the skin on top. It also lifts the neck. I am 48 and had the Quicklift in June 08 along with an upper eye bleph plus Juvederm in my lips. Although the recovery is much longer then they lead you to believe (4 days , no way to a couple of weeks)I wasn't presentable for 2 1/2 weeks because of the bruising, the change is absolutely amazing. My jowls are gone and all the wrinkles around my mouth have vanished. My crows feet are much, much softer since with the QL they start at your temple and go down around the front and back of your ear. I was worried I would look different or pulled but I just look younger. It wasn't a piece of cake by anymeans but I would do it again in a second. My friend had it done as well and she is very pleased with her results.

Did you have the quicklift? Did Dr Cook do the procedure? What were you unhappy with?
