Get It Done if You Don't Mind Having to Keep Yur Hair Long.

I am so sorry for your terrible experience. I hope you file a report with the FL. state board of medical examiners or whom ever is over the plastic surgeons and also be sure to file so you have documentation. Also get your medical records and pictures and take pictures as you progress in healing. Have you contacted LSL? I wish you well. I too had the lift and it was not what I expected either. Chrystal.

Thank you for sharing your story.

Hi! my name is Chris and I'm reading about yours comments,because I want to do the lifestyle lift,even after red this I'm so scare about it,them you don't recommended,.??. I'm so sorry for you,and the worst problem is we expend all money even when we don't have enough

My thanks to ALL of you! I was scheduled to see a highly-recommended surgeon in Austin, but when I saw an ad for LSL on local TV, I reconsidered (I was in TX visiting my Dad at the time. I'd never seen an LSL ad before, I live in PA). The LSL ads sounded irresistably good! I thought, "Gee, maybe I can save money by going to LSL instead." But THANKFULLY I did my research first. LSL's website, of course, makes itself sound fantastic--"low cost, great surgeons, great results, little downtime"--but you have to ask yourself, "If LSL's surgeons are so highly skilled, then why are they working for someone else? Why don't they have their OWN Private Practices INSTEAD,where they'd earn more income and establish their own good reputations?" Suspicious, I googled LSL PATIENT SATISFACTION, or something like that, and ended up at Realself.com. When I read LSL had a 60% DISSATISFACTION RATE? YOW! Forget LSL--I stuck with the surgeon that medical professionals had recommended to me, and I'm SO GLAD I DID. So THANK YOU ALL for sharing your experiences regarding LSL. You DID save at least ONE person--ME--from a potentially disastrous mistake. 60% is just TOO HIGH a risk to take when it comes to your face. Those of you who are pleased with your LSL outcomes, I'm happy for you--but do you really have a BASE OF COMPARISON to draw from? Have you compared your results to private practice doctors' results? [Not that all PP surgeons are good...] Have you taken photos of yourself at different angles, especially regarding blepharoplasties, so that you can even SEE what the surgeon did to- or for- you? Because you really can't tell what your eyelids look like just by looking at your 2-dimensional reflection in the mirror--you have to see your eyelids at different angles, which is how other people see your eyelids. Have a friend take photos of you at different angles, or use a tripod and timer and take the photos yourself.

REGARDING FACE LIFTS: Good facelift surgery leaves NO scarring whatsoever in front of the ears. which you have to hide with your hair. My incisions are INSIDE my ears where no one can see them unless they're looking for them. I feel sorry for Ugly Scars and others who are left with against-the-grain VERTICAL scars, which are difficult to repair, in front of their ears. The doctor who performed Ugly Scar's surgery KNEW that he was 'doing her wrong.' ALL surgeons know that vertical scars are difficult to repair, because "Vertical" runs against the grain of the skin--as happened with my son's dogbite, which cut my son's skin from his nostril straight down to his lip. It could not be easily repaired. NO decent surgeon would KNOWINGLY CREATE a vertical scar when they didn't have to--and her surgeon didn't have to.
