It was worth the money to me. - Lifestyle Lift - Franklin, TN

I have an appt. on Monday to talk to a doc. I am checking my options and LSF is one. This forum has been helpful!

I had my LSL and chin lipo last Wednesday, I feel great and am very happy with the procedure, done in the Beverly Hills office by Dr. Moretz and tech, Van. I was treated great. No pain, I didn't even feel the shots. During the procedure I felt pressure, taking two lorazapan took all the anxiety away. I was in pain the first few days, nothing that the vicodin didn't fix. Definetly stay on soft foods for the first five days as per the instructions, try not to chew anything. I chewed a peanut butter sandwich the second day and paid for it with added jaw pain. I'm still swollen but can see I will be very happy with the results, jaw and chin are tight, even my marrionet lines are gone. I would do it again in a second.

I'm on day eight, my ears look great, hardly any bruising or swelling. I can't be happier, no jowls or turkey neck. I've been able to work from home starting the morning after. Maybe you should consider Dr. Moretz in Beverly Hills. I have other friends who were done by him last summer and are still thrilled with the results. Alot depends on the doctor. I'm also convinced alot of the negative comments and horror stories are written by employees for other plastic surgeons who don't do the LSL and are four times the price.

I met with doctor Swerdloff at LSL in Tampa on Monday. I checked his credentials which are excellent, researched several former patients and met with two. All were delighted with the procedure and love Doc. Swerdloff. I am scheduled for January. I have checked with two other surgeons in my area who have excellent credentials but are very, very expensive and their procedures do not include the hospital stay, anestheseologists(sp)or follow up procedures if needed. Their total costs were well into $15,000 ++. This is way over my budget for what I want done. I would like to go into this with unlimited funds but not right now. I could wait but if I do, I know that I will probably talk myself out of it and wind up spending my money on something else. It is either now or never! I was impressed with the success rate of this particular procedure and doctor. I am going to do it and hope that I will have the positive results that many other women and men have had.

Crystal: Thank you for being so honest and showing the pictures. I've seen the results of other doctor's work that was as bad and was "low cost"/ bargain. It seems as if the good doctors know what they have and charge accordingly. You certainly saved me from going through part or all of the hell you experienced. I just lost ALL interest in even watching their glowing TV ads. However, I must add that the BEST results I've ever seen have been from procedures done in Costa Rica. And the cost was 15 to 25% of the cost for the same procedudres here in the United States. And the CARE is fabulous, including comprehensive follow-up. So my thought is to have a nice vacation, have the rejuvenation, be pampered and STILL have the expense half or less. Bless you for your exposure of the "fast-food" cosmetic scam~!! Lilith
