WORTH IT$6,550
Hi girls!
I am now 16 months post-op, still happy as a lark although at times I'm forgetting I had work done because I look so natural and I am thrilled. I am considering having my eyes done as I have 2 more payment and my LL is paid off!! Make SURE you pay off your LL in the 18 months of interest-free that they give you because Care Credit charges a crushing 27% interest and it takes like 29 years to pay it off and you pay 30K in interest if you only do the minimum payment!! I divided the 6100.00 and divided it by 18 and that's what I pay every month, so it was about 338.88 a month so I paid $350 which means my last payment will be a bit less. Worth every penny. These pics were taken January 18th 2015.

It would be worth the trip! You go back a week after the procedure to have the sutures removed but there are some PS at LSL in your area that have gotten high marks here too. I liked that he is double board-certified with one of them being facial plastic surgery. I talked to a lot of his previous patients and was totally comfortable going into the surgi-center. His nurse was very sweet to me too, she did the prep and a was basically a drooling veggie by the time he got there. I remember waking up a couple of times but felt NOTHING and remember saying something to them (God only knows WHAT I said LOL) but that's it. My husband took me home and I was drowsy in the car and as soon as we got home I went to bed with my ice belt and face bra and slept off the rest of the meds. My husband stuffed small bites of flat food (I think it was a cheese pizza) into my mouth because I could only open it about 1/2 inch for the first 2 days!! Think of it as medical tourism and St Louis is a decent place to recover--nice hotels and room service.

It's great his former patients were open about having the lift. It is so essential to talk to a past patient when vetting a plastic surgeon but so many people prefer to keep their procedure private.,

You are SO right!! I don't care if anyone knows I had the LSL or not, but it's so natural looking everyone I know has forgotten I had it. When my husband told me how great I looked at his birthday dinner I couldn't resist saying my PS thanks you and he said--Oh yeah--I forgot about that. LOL

You GO GIRL!! Do what they tell you to do, WEAR the compression bandage, use the ice belt and hang in there---it will be over soon. You're in good hands with Dr. Scheu, and he's a nice guy--he will give you his cell phone number--don't eat salt!!

I'm so excited to hear you results. I'm having my surgery March 23 2016. I can't wait to see my results. I'm having a face lift, forehead lift and laser resurfacing and my neck lifted. Thank you so much for your honesty. I have read your updates since the beginning.

I am turning 56 next week and am delighted to be doing it looking mid-40s instead of nearly 60. I could not be happier with the results of my LSL and I have 3 more payments and my face is paid off!! I am considering having my eyes done in a year or so and you can believe it will be Dr Scheu doing the work!
Merry Christmas ladies!

I am glad you found a doctor and had an experience that went so well. Doctors should take the time and give the care. Sounds like this is exactly what you had. : )

I'm having no problems with my lift. The feeling has returned to my face, my ears are no longer tender and the feeling has returned to them (which is good because I kept burning them with the curling iron and not realizing it!! I had some pathetic-looking burnt ears because I couldn't feel the heat of the iron so I kept accidentally singeing them. I've also got about 50% of the feeling back under my chin and my neck too. The LSL looks good and is holding up very well and I'm still extremely glad I did it--and only 7 more payments and my face is paid off! I'll probably have my eyes done in 3-4 years or when they need it if it's sooner and I will definitely be going to Dr. Scheu again for that!
