$3,000
I had my surgery in 2005 --The scars were treated by a tattoo artist-see the last picture that is where she ran the tattoo needle over + over the original scar to smooth it out. The results of her work were great.
before she did the procedure my scars were one inch thick raised and very very noticeable.
The worst part --8 years later--is my neck. it is a very dark mottled brown color that has been treated by laser many times. It is blood that pooled in my tissues due to the aggressive manner that this lift was preformed. no drains were placed and I received NO POST OP treatment at all.
they sent me home with a ice pack.
I drove home alone --the staff shoved me out the back door and I wondered around the parking lot looking for my car disoriented to say the least.
I will take a picture of my neck and place it in here--this picture was taken 2 weeks ago. This is a permanent brown stain on my neck that looks ugly and won't ever go away.

I am going to post a picture of a new procedure I
am having done to help reduce the scars I was left with
following the Life Style Lift I had done in 2005 In Plymouth Meeting PA>
That office moved and relocated in Voorhee's NJ
It is interesting because the procedure leaves me very very red and
you can see how horrible the original scarring was. It basically draws a line around
where the sutures were placed....it will heal in about 1 week .

please scroll to my last picture and you will see I had a procedure done to reduce the scars......this is 1 hour post op so it is still very red......it is a form of permanent makeup and the result is quite nice big improvement over what I had before not 100% but 50% better. the idea of this photo is also to show you how huge this scar was.....

I am not sure how they get away with it: I think they have alot of lawyers...
August 25, 2012
Of course they have a lot of lawyers. They have their own law group that works right there in the Michigan home office. What a rip-off! And a shame that this kind of company is allowed to legally harm people with no self-incrimination.

I think you are right.....I did try to sue these people-- the attorney I hired was employed by LSL----he said he filed for me and he did not ---so the statue ran out.

and he has disappeared. His name was Byron Milner and he was ( still is??) a lawyer from Philadelphia. His nickname was "Buzz" ugh.

obviously even post op laser treatment was only able to minimally help the very poor job that was done on my face.
Life Style Lift did not offer or care to help repair the damage. They basically said tough luck sweetie----
NEXT IN LINE PLEASE!
UGH, I WILL FEEL UGLY FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE.

I have filed a complaint against the doctor and LLL--with the state board of medicine and with better business
December 26, 2008
Good for you, Ugly Scars, for filing complaints.
I don't want to get your hopes up,Ugly Scars, because doctors often put 'sticking together' above ethics. But in your case, Ugly Scars, you have photos that DO speak for themselves, and those pictures are worth 1,000 words--your doctor knew it was sloppy work for him to put vertical scars on your face (mention that, about how you learned later (from my son's dog bite) that 'vertical scars' are hard for plastic surgeons to repair, and it certainly is not desirable for a plastic surgeon to knowingly inflict one on an unsuspecting patient. I think doctors on any ethics committee would feel ashamed to side with your doctor because it indirectly reflects on their own standards of quality care.
State Medical ethics committees HAVE to respond to your complaint--you WILL get a letter of response. It will be interesting to know what they say. If they say, 'You agreed to the surgery,' they know in their hearts that that's not fair to you, Ugly Scars. They know you were an innocent victim of a money-grabbing surgeon.
But DO remember that any letters you mail to state or medical institutions become a matter of record, and that matters in itself. And you will LEARN the names of the MDs on the boards. If they try to trivialize your concerns, you can always bring THAT to the public's awareness too. It's been done before.
It reflects on THEIR reputations and integrity as doctors.

can you see the post laser pic's??
I did add them---the hemostasis ( permanent scars under the neck) came from the pooling of blood from the incisions.
ugly huh :(

Dear Ugly Scars,
How long ago was that laser performed?
I had a facelift AND laser resurfacing around my eyes and mouth performed a couple of months ago. I was told it would take about 3 months to heal. It's been about 2 months now, and there is still redness in the facial resurfacing areas and swelling in my lower face and neck. But my red areas from the laser aren't blotchy like they are in your photo--mine are just pink circles.
