As of Monday, Lifestyle Lift is only providing some post-operation checkup procedures.
Lifestyle Lift came under scrutiny back in 2008, when it engaged in a he-said, she-said lawsuit battle with online review site RealSelf.
The company sued RealSelf claiming trademark infringement after consumers posted negative reviews about their experience with the less-invasive facelift procedures. RealSelf subsequently countersued asserting the surgery center posted fake reviews to lure in more business.
The back-and-forth led to an investigation by the New York Attorney General’s office. In 2009, then-attorney general Andrew Cuomo announced Lifestyle Lift would pay $300,000 and stop publishing fake reviews.
At the time, Cuomo called the company’s business practices, “cynical, manipulative and illegal.”

If they file for bankruptcy - there will be no money for settling any current or future claims against them. After years of ruining the lives of their trusting customers, they now ruin the lives of their employees.

Recently there have been ads on TV for QUICK LIFT. The ads are almost identical to the LSL commercials. I wonder if they are now opening new places, and running under a different name to avoid the lawsuits.

Probably... Kent started with hair plugs. Went on to faces... he made so much money off us! You know that he is not going to give up on a good thing. Target marketing is his ticket. The Quick Lifts are no better than a LSL, which by the way was never new or innovative. It was one of the first type of lifts done in the late 60's and early 70's and was promptly dumped because it was only successful on 10% of patients. Anyone can look this up on the internet. The lift does not last because it does not address the underlying tissue. You cannot support a lift using your ears! People do your homework.

How will history view the decade of the 'Lifestyle Lift'.......

Years from now I think LSL will be a case study in Medical Scams, like the old old ads selling tape worms as a 'modern method' for weight loss from the 1920's.

such a tragic story --- 6 years later --- it's just so sad that they can do this to someone and never blink an eye --- wouldn't you just love to turn the table and do the surgery on him!!!

Hey Lovely, I'm sorry to hear that you are still suffering such pain. It saddens me so to know that people will do this to others for money! The only thing that made me smile was hearing that LSL filed for bankruptcy and is not seeing any new patients. That is not a fix all for those of us who were harmed by LSL but at least they cannot do it to other women. Wishing you the best, Chrystal
