Bewildred, where does it say it is not a surgical procedure and that it only takes one hour? It's a FACE LIFT, for heaven's sake! Not a lunchtime procedure.

I had my face done 1-1/2 yrs ago.

I have been reading some of the doctors' comments on these pages, and shame on them. They are giving false information, because they realize that the LS Lift has been taking the country by storm, and they are losing business. So they have sour grapes. Some of the misinformation they are giving, is that the LS Lift is not performed by 'real' plastic surgeons. That is a lie. All LS Lift doctors are board-certified plastic surgeons, and many had their own practices before joing the LS Lift team. Also, they said it only last 2 yrs or so, and that is another lie. The LS Lift, depending on genetics and other factors in a person's lifestyle, lasts fron 8 to ten years.

Again, shame on all these plastic surgeons, who are posting misinformation to scare people. I would do it again, and I would not give my money to these expensive plastic surgeons who would post such misleading comments on this site.

P.S. I do NOT work for the Lifestyle Lift.

One more thing: the lady who was back to work in 4 days--well, that is highly unusual. I am happy for her, but she must not be one of those who bruises easily. I bruise very easily, and I couldn't go back to work for 2 weeks. Even at that, I had to wear a wig to hide my scars around my ears. And I was a bit weak from the surgery itself. But everyone is different. It all depends on what you have done. The more you have done, the more trauma it is to your body. I only had the Lifestyle Lift (bottom portion of the face), the neck, and laser around my jowels. Again, it was totally worth it. So do NOT let the negative experiences scare you!

I would highly recommend the Lifestyle Lift, but make sure you do your research and ask your doctor for photos of his work. Those of you who had a bad experience--I once again reiterate, it is not the fault of the Lifestyle Lift but of your surgeon. I am thrilled with my results, as my surgeon is excellent. I got it done in Albuquerque, but they don't allow the name of the surgeon here on the board unless you are a member and log in. His name is Richard Davies in case they don't remove this. I am 57 and will be 58 next month, and I look 40.

Also, why are people so surprised there is alot of bruising?? You are having MAJOR SURGERY on your face. So even though I did not have my eyes done, or my forehead, my eyes were bruised and I looked like a gorilla about 5 days post op--only because I happen to bruise easily! I posted my photos here, but being it was the internet, I eventually deleted them. But if anyone would like to see my photos, email me at my name here on americaonline.

Keep in mind ALL Lifestyle Lift surgeons are board certified plastic surgeons. The reason you are not paying an arm and a leg is because they do not use anesthesia, so you are saving about $2500 or more right off the bat. I was in no pain when he was doing my face, because they numb you and you can't feel anything. I am so glad I got it done 1-1/2 yrs ago, as the price was $2000 less than it is now. But I am so happy I got it done.
