Terrible recovery with no difference between before and after photos. The after procedure recovery was much more intense than I had thought. No one has noticed any difference in my appearance. I am very disappointed. It was a lot of money and recovery with nothing to show for it. My stitches were never examined by the doctor.

Was this a LSL?

An LSL refers to a 'Lifestyle Lift' which is a branded mini lift. You can find that community here.

I'm so sorry.

What did you have done? If you really cannot see a difference in your before & after photos, then confront the doctor. Have you ever spoken to any of his former patients? I'm so sorry you're disappointed. I was initially disappointed, thinking my jowls would disappear after a mid-face lift but now I'm very happy with the work because people only know I have "good skin," and nothing more. Best to you.

So sorry to read this,but i had exactly the same with Adam Kalecinski in Poland,absolutely no difference at all. I might as well thrown £4,500 down the drain . They dont even reply to my emails now and it seems that once they have your money they dont want to know. I believe that many doctors are not skilled in facial work,as it takes an artist to achieve great results,and these doctors who claim to do just about everything are usually not good at anything. With hindsight i should have gone to a doctor who only specialises if faces.!
