Dr. Malcolm Lesavoy at Lifestyle Lift Beverly Hills cut off my ear lobe leaving it a Pixie ear. Lifestyle Lifts procedure was extremely painful AND ineffective. The mini face and chin lift does not work on most people. The results you will see is from swollen tissue that holds up the skin until the swelling goes down. It was less than 6 months and the skin on my neck was falling. I have only damage no improvement for 8600.00~ I am extremely dissatisfied with the Lifestyle Lift service. When I complained of the disfigurement the one assistant whispered "that's why you need to read the fine print." Dr. Lesavoy did not take measurements, he began surgery before the Valium began to work. I was in an extreme amount of pain. He did not do the 3,000 laser procedure as agreed and paid for.

UPDATE- We went to small claims court first week of June 2014. I had the pictures of the damage, I had another plastic surgeon who happen to be colleagues with Dr. Lesavoy inspect the problem areas. He said he didn't see why Dr. Lesavoy wouldn't correct the "Pixie ear" he had created during the surgery. In his opinion there was never laser surgery done on my face. Yet this doctor would not write a letter to the court in my behalf. When the judge asked Dr. Lesavoy if he thought there were any problems, Dr. Lesavoy stated he did what was customary. The judge said since there was no way of deciding whether my new pixie ear would have been expected, I had no case without a doctor's letter stating otherwise. He finalized the session saying "There are no guarantees" and dismissed the case. At this time I have two very different shaped ears because of Dr. Lesavoy. I will never use Lifestyle Lifts. I think it is a real shame that a judge would side with a doctor when the evidence was clear. We had before and after pictures of my ears and so did Dr. Lesavoy. You can see the damage in his photos as well.

It's disgusting to think he wouldn't want to repair his damage,he obviously thinks his reputation is so good he doesn't have to worry about you. I have read many Negative things about life style lift, but this I think is the first one that has really angered me.

In general Doctors and Dentist look out for each other. Their boards make it difficult to find out about judgements or other need to know info. The Internet is making it easier, but it's not an open book. Referrals online can be buddies, coworkers etc. I think buyer beware is always the best advice, just remember is the 'practice' of medicine.

Wow, so sorry you went through this. Thank goodness, he didn't do more damage. Very thankful that you posted this and that others might read and avoid LifeStyle Lifts. I've read nothing but bad reviews on here about them. Blessings
