WORTH IT$4,600

I had my lifestyle lift in dallas on feb 19th 09. YES, I went back to work on day 5. But, I'm one tough cookie and if I had benefits at work I would have taken at least a couple of more days off. :)

I know some people have had bad resuts, for that, I am truly sorry! But, I actually had a bad surgical procedure (smart lipo to the jaw line) over a year ago and it wrecked my profile. I felt like I had to smile all the time or sit a certain way so people would not notice how bad my face had become. My facial structure was melted away too much and therefore the small amount of sagging I went in to fix was made 4 times worse as the skin had no structure under it anymore and within 4 months really started to sag and got worse over time. So, I know how bad results can make you feel.

I am simply thrilled with my LSL results. But, I put in over 150 hours of research into the procedure and finding the right and recommended doctor. You must research!

I am SOOO happy for you and wish I had your doctor - I see from the picture you still have earlobes - I don't. Again, very glad it worked for you.

I am happy for you and glad that you have a good doctor. It looks like your jaw line is visually much better. And your ears are very different than mine or I should say the way mine were done. I wish I had found a doctor like yours. On my research, it was misleading because my doctor was represented as working for LSL (not freelancing) therefore, when I looked for anything (pending or open/closed cases) nothing showed up. Once I looked up the county where he has his office, I found additional info but it was too late. Plus if I had found realself.com first it would have made a real difference in my decision. Keep us informed and best to you. Chrystal Eckes.

I am in Dallas. Could you tell me the name of the doctor that did your procedure?

Myself and a friend had this procedure in the Dallas location, both were back to pre-surgery sagging, me at one month, hers at 3 months, different doctors too. Don't waste your money at LSL, you will need to have another surgery with a private practice doctor to get the results promised at LSL. Feel free to contact for more information.

People reading this--I'm glad this woman is happy, but what's NOT GOOD about her facelift is that the incision runs IN FRONT of her ears and earlobes rather than INSIDE the earlobe, like my incision does. I had a facelift combined with laser resurfacing to both the eye area and chin area. Total cost was $12,000. I believe that about $6500 of that amount was for the facelift alone. It was worth it.

You had a facelift. Now, what can you expect as far as how long the effect of it will last? How old are you and how much damage did you have to your skin prior to the surgery? I had the Lifestyle lift and I do not have any complaints. I had it almost 9 months ago. I have no scars and the tightening along my jaw is still good. When did you have your facelift? has it been a while and how much pain were you in afterward? Thanks for any answers you will give me.

I'm trying to decide between LSL or regular facelift please let me know everything you can. Tell me more about incision inside the ear? I need lower chin & jowl and upper eye lids done. I have vacation in Nov/Dec. Thanks for your help.
