Over 10 years ago Dr. Davis did my eye lids and full face resurfacing with a CO2 Laser. It took about 10 years of age off my face and neck. He is where the doctors go for the best work. This doctor has so much experience. Best regards, William
I had the turkey neck removed and the face wrinkles removed, also an eye-lid lift. I can tell you, I did have pain but well worth every bit of it. I took pain medicine for at least 2 weeks. Some of that I brought on myself by using sunscreen that burned my face on top of the burn from the procedure. Perhaps you can avoid this with better information. Otherwise, the procedure itself wasn't that bad. I was in depression, old and looked old, and I want to find another person in my life like my deceased. I know that I do not want to live alone and I wanted to look as good as possible at 70 years old to the opposite sex. I have done the best I can do with these procedures. It is now up to God if I get what I am looking for.
I decided to have the procedure done, to remove the grief from my face. My mother had died over a year before, and my face had literally "fallen" into sadness with the grief I was carrying. My eyes had bags from crying and the lack of smiling made my face fall. I wanted to look "happy" again. Nothing can bring my mother back to me, but I don't have to spend the rest of my life looking like the world came to an end. The removal of excess skin in my eye lids, and the lift to my face has been awesome!! Forget the fact that I look 20 years younger. The grief is removed and happiness is all over my face. I could not be more thrilled with the outcome!!! ;-)
Pros; it only takes a few hours time Cons: it has to be done with only local anasthetic Motivation was to get rid of my sagging turkey neck Personal goals, to look better, as I am in front of a classroom as a teacher every day Outcome was excellent My life is much better, as I have more self confidence and am happier about the way I look. I wish I had it done sooner!
I'm young at heart and wanted my face to look how I feel. I had "turkey neck" and drooping eyelids and was not giving in to looking my age. So for Mother's Day I did it!!! My surgery went as planned. I took the prescribed pain meds for 2 days (got lots of rest) and did not experience any discomfort or terrible bruising. I was going out in 5 days. The doctor and his staff were helpful and professional. My only regret was that I didn't believe I could recapture the young me!!! And my husband is very pleased with how I look!

Informative & Kind Doctor Makes for Pleasant Experience - Fort Myers, FL
I am very happy with my results. I'm 57 so didn't need much done, but I believe it's better to get this procedure earlier rather than later so that the changes aren't too drastic. I have gotten lots of compliments, but I think this procedure mostly makes me look better and refreshed and people don't know why. For that, I'm happy!
The staff was very pleasant and my pre-op meds worked very well except for the laser treatment. That was very painful. The first wk post op was comfortable but my face was very swollen and red and blistery. I felt after 1 wk post op I looked very good. Seven days post op my sutures were removed and my chin incision opened up the next AM. I was very frightened. Dr D re-sutured and said we would leave them in for a few wks. I feel that this hurt my result. There was a lump under there for months. Now my scar is still big and visible. My skin is very loose again under the chin and I am sagging again. I still have very visible scars which I felt would disappear. Am I better? Of course. But I thought the tightness would last a lot longer. I feel like I need a touch up but I cannot spend the money at this time. I just feel as if my result was not as good as others.
After having lost 120 lbs. my neck skin was sagging . After a consultation I was assured the Lifestyle Lift would correct the problem. It hasn't . If anything it looks worse. After the surgery , which was EXTREMELY PAINFUL , I returned the next day to learn the incisions were infected and would have to be re-opened. What HORRIFIC PAIN ! I have since moved back to Chicago from Florida . The doctors here tell me to go back to the doctor that screwed the procedure up in the first place What an incompetent company. I am currently seeking the advise of consul and notifying the proper authorities about this scam artist company . My advise is DO NOT DO THIS NOW OR EVER !!!!!!
I am so happy that I went to Lifestyle Lift! I had a very sagging chin and neck and the more weight I lost, the more it jiggled and just looked terrible. I was very self concious about it so, in I went for my consultation.I immediately saw the change and after a few weeks, I looked 15 years younger and people tell me this all the time. If you are considering Lifestyle Lift, go for a consultation. They are wonderful and my Dr. told me exactly what to expect and that is what I got! I am looking great and feeling even better!
