WORTH IT$5,000

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 Aleta -- Welcome to RealSelf and thanks for sharing your experience. Were you able to cover up the bruising with make-up or were you housebound until it went away?

Hi and Happy Holidays. I was able to cover up the blueness on my neck and a little on my chest area with some liquid makeup. I was not in pain it just looked like I was. I had a black eye that I just wore sun glasses for a few days. The results were so amazing to me I didnt care. Only stayed in the house for a week or so, till i took off the support bandage. After that you only had to wear it at night.

I also had it done on August 12, 2010, and am very happy with the results. I had it done in Little Falls, NJ by Dr. Wise.

I honestly am. I retired in 2009 and I recently went to a retirement dinner of one of my co workers. People that I haven't seen since I had Lifestyle done kept saying that retirement must agree with me because I looked so much better, which made me feel good,that the procedure looked natural just better than I was. The last picture on my update was taken a week ago and it hasn't changed at all since I had it done.

You do look great after your procedure, but come on - you have to admit - you were beautiful even BEFORE the procedure. Still, I am glad it worked out for you.

Thank you so much for the lovely compliment. I certainly am not sorry I had it done, I feel so much better about myself. Have you had it done, or are you going to ?
