I agree, the problem isn't with lifestyle lift, it is with the surgeon who did your surgery!

Dr. Campanelli is to blame for doing the botched surgery and should be held accountable, but he also works for Lifestyle Lift, and they should also be held responsible. I will be taking both to court. Thanks for your comment.

I am so sorry to see that that happened to you. my procedure went very well, however I had one of the best surgeons Dr boggis from Franklin Tennessee.it looks like your surgeon is an idiot. and yes I agree he needs to be held accountable.

Thank you, and I am so happy that yours turned out well. Every time I look into the mirror, I feel sad. I know longer wear makeup because I feel that it doesn't do me any good. It seems like my whole face seems to just keep sagging more and I hate the ripples that are now on my lower cheeks. Once again, that you for your concern. Gloria R.

In all fairness to us understanding your situation. Did you have a full facelift and upper lids. You did not tell us exactly what was done.. Thanks

Go to lifestyle lifts complaints...OMG!! You're not the only one having issues with this "company".

I have complained directly to Lifestyle Lift and through the MN Attorney General and the BBB. Lifestyle lift says that I am a small percentage - so I guess I don't matter. My decisions were based on the DVD's and brochures that I was given, as well as what I was told. Because I cannot find an attorney that will take my case, I will do it myself. This week, I will write both LSL and Dr. Campenelli an Intent to Sue Letter. I will first ask for this case to go through a mediator, and if LSL refuses, then I will file the necessary documents to sue in court. I will not just do nothing.

Good for you. I hope you get them.
September 11, 2014
Me too. I will keep everyone posted as I go through this procedure.

I don't see what you are talking about. You look better than before. The close ups you took of your face peel is really unfair as that is perfectly normal until skin heals.. I wonder why you chose to do this surgery. You are blaming your dr and lifestyle lift I really think the problem is deeper then that..Hope I didn't offend you ..Best Kim

I see that I gave the wrong date. My surgery was done in July of 2013, so all the healing that is to take place is done. The nerve damage and results of this surgery have already taken place and are permanent.

I have been sharing your story on the social networks. I hope everyone reads your story.

I was very happy to receive your message. I wanted to go to the social media, but I am computer illiterate. I am very greatful that you put my story out there. Could you have people write to Lifestyle Lift, 100 Kirts Blvs. Suite A, Troy, MI (248) 519-9100, and let them know that they have read my story. My name is G. Rowe. I want LSL to know that they just can't ignore me or others that have had these results, or worse. Thanks so much for helping me.

Wow. Thanks for these posts. They will save a lot of women from going through the same thing. And the commercials are still on tv, pushing their "wonderful" results. I was wondering if that was true. Apparently not. I hope you get some compensation for the damage done to you and you are okay in time.

Hi Honeycomb888, Thank you for your taking the time to read my story and respond to it. I want as many people as possible to know what has happened to me and others. I have gone through the BBB and the MN Attorney General's Office, and LSL responds by saying that I signed papers that said that a "touch up" is my only alternative. This would require having the entire surgery again and not just a "touch up" by a doctor who couldn't get it right the first time. Because of all the pain and permanent nerve damage that I have, I would never take that risk again. No attorney will take my case, so I am educating myself on filing a lawsuit myself in order to represent myself.

I had the same thing happened to me, I wouldn't have another surgery with him again, he shouldn't be working anymore as a Doctor. Dr Ross from Chicago area did my surgery and he just ignores me and I wouldn't have another surgery with him neither, if he offered. Sincerely, Janet

Don't ever a facelift with Dr Ross in Chicago, you are in alot pain and still look the same after surgery except for a much of scars left and headaches after a year!
