James Alex, MD - In Memoriam

I,m glad you emailed me for my experience with Lifestyle Lift.I have been wanting to thank you since I had my procedure!It was definately worth every penny.You have changed my life!!I did it because my son was getting married and I felt I looked older than I was.My before & after pictures that you have look different because after I put on my makeup I think I look so much better than before!!.Dr Alex did the procedure and he really knows his business.Everyone at my sons wedding asked what I did,i.e.Botox??When I told them they all wanted info about it.I did have a few cards from your office,so I passed them out and highly recommended Lifestyle lift for anyone who was interested.I could be an advocate for your company!!!Once again thank you so much,you changed my life!!!

At three-and-a-half months post-procedure, I can honestly say I’m thrilled with the results!

Having this procedure done in an office-like atmosphere under local anesthesia (Novocaine) really appealed to me. Because I’m an R.N., I knew the risks of general anesthesia would be eliminated, the risk of infection would be greatly reduced compared with a hospital environment, and the cost would be far more manageable ($6450 vs. $35000 or more). The only discomfort during the procedure was the initial administering of the local anesthesia, and that was short lived. After that, I was able to relax and even carry on conversation with the doctor for the entire time without the slightest pain.

Antibiotics were prescribed for preventative reasons, along with a short course of Prednisone to help reduce swelling. Adequate pain medication was also prescribed.

Although I’ll soon be 67 years old, I’ve been “accused” of looking in my mid-40s, both by strangers and those who know me well. I’ll take it! Looking at my before and after pictures still amazes me. So, yes, I would absolutely do it again!

Both of us had the lift done and look "refreshed" and remarkably younger. Our clients have said so!

Dr. A did the surgery for both my husband and I the same day. My husband is 64 and I am 57. We are active in boating, traveling, and landscape gardening. While my husband is retired, I work as a Sales Manager throughout the state, and need to keep my appearance "fresh and vibrant" as a professional. My husband's surgery was the basic lift, and he looks great! Mine involved the basic lift plus under-eye surgery to remove tired-looking bags. It easily took ten years off our facial appearances!

We would both highly recommend this procedure to anyone wanting a refreshed, youthful appearance! (We will have our own before/after photos to share shortly!)

i am a 64 year old women who was just so tired of having jowels and a neck that was so unattractive. i researched the lifestyle lift,read all the pros and con reviews and i asked my husband to just come and listen to see what it was about. i wanted it to look natural not dramatic just better. everyone was wonderful and the dr told us exactly what it was about and what to expect. within two weeks i could go out, had alot of bruising, not alot of pain at all.

i had it done in april of 2010, the after pics were done 6 weeks later. i was awake but comfortable throught the entire procedure and follow ups were excellent. my doctor and staff were the best ever, and i am so pleased with the results. my husband could not believe the difference it made. even my adult sons said i looked great.

there is bandaging that you do and sleep with, and for a while you cant recline totally. however, the biggest downfall is no coffee! but, i wanted it done so badly, i did the no coffee.

would i recomend life style? without a doubt. it was the best $5,000 i ever spent. my sincere thanks to my lifestyle dr. and his staff.

Hi ladies, just wanted to post a 2 year photo of my lifestyle lift. I am still very happy with my results. It was worth every
bruise and lack of coffee to have these amazing results. All I can say is you need to shop around and do your homework on
the surgeon you pick.. It was worth all the time I spent finding the right doctor. See you next year. Aleta

I have passed my 3 years in April that I had the Life Style Lift done. I am still happy with it. My husband and my children say it still looks good and that means alot to me. Its bitter sweet to post a new picture being that Dr. Alex passed away a year ago. then I thought, it is a tribute to him what a wonderful sugeon he was and how blessed I am to have been one of his patients. I will always have fond memories of him.

Hello everyone, just an update for my lifestyle lift from April of 2010. I am still HAPPY!!!! I take care of my lift, moisture cream, no sunburn, lots of water, and I still love it. I just turned 68 and I wouldnt hesitate to have it done again if I needed to. It would be bitter sweet to go back to Burlington, Mass, being Dr. Alex has passed away, but I would because they are all awesome there. I still am so thankful for Dr Alex and the lifestyle lift, and I truly have an angel to thank every day. Hope you all are as happy as I am.

I had a lazer face resurfing procedure I was back to work within 5 days. The results so far have been very positive. I recommend it to anyone that is thinking about it. I did because I want a more smother younthful less wrinkles look on my face and I saw results from week one.

I was a fat kid and young adult, but I've spent years working to remain at a healthy weight with a healthy lifestyle. But, I couldn't stop gravity. My face looked old and tired.

I saw ads for Lifestyle Lift - and began my research. I came to this site first and was disheartened to see the negative comments - so I kept researching - especially the surgeon. Plastic susrgery is, after all, all about the surgeon! I checked him out on an independent .gov website and found he was board certified and never had to pay out anything in malpractice.

Everyone was very nice and professional at Lifestyle. I spoke to a consultant first, then I spoke to the doctor a week before my procedure. I opted for the optional neck lift as well. The doctor explained everything he would do - and reminded me that this was real sugery and therefor I had to expect some recovery time.

i was asked to post photos after 3 months - these are 8 months after my Life Style Lift. Yes, there has been some relaxing (which I was told would happen - darn gravity!) but, my face now has my shape without the original extra sagging. I'm still very, very happy I had this procedure.

I was asked to send after-photos after 3 months - well, these photos are 8 months after my Life Style Lift. Although there has been some relaxing of the skin (which they said would happen since gravity & aging doesn't stop with any procedure)- I am still VERY pleased with the results.
