I had my Lifestyle Lift in Dec. 2011. I went in looking 60 yrs old and now look 40 something. With the stress of living with an alcoholic husband and then watching him die as a result, the past 10 yrs of stress was really showing on my face. It had gotten to the point where I hated looking in the mirror and then I saw an informercial of Lifestyle Lift and things started looking up.

I originally saw an informercial and then did research on the internet. After my consult with Dr. David Hicks I went home and researched him and liked what I saw. I then made my decision after weeks of thinking & praying about it to go forward with my procedure.

I am so sorry that you lost your husband and are glad that you had such good results with your LSL. What made you decide to do a LSL? Was it the infomercials alone or did you do additional research? Did you get a 2nd opinion from anyone? The reason I ask is due to my experience with the company. Again, congratulation on your results. Please keep up informed. Best, Chrystal Eckes.

I decided to get the LSL because I was looking 60+ yrs and I am only 49. The infomercial was what got my attention and then I did research and have had my eyes done before coming to the west coast. After my consult with doctor hicks I went home and researched him and the facility in San Ramon and was pleased with what I found. I know not every one is going to have the same results and be as pleased as I am so it's a personal choice on who you chose as your doctor.

I am glad all went well for you. And I am sorry about your husband, very unfortunate for you and him both. I am glad that Dr. Hicks was able to help you and I wish you continued success. Best, Chrystal.

HsMessnger,
I wanted you to clear something up with you.

On "Aliice's" review page, LSL Ontario, CA, you made the statement to Aliice that, "As long as you and I are happy with our outcomes, that's all that matters." I found this statement to be out of character for someone who claims to have had God on her shoulder along with an angel. If your Christian beliefs promote such selfishness and self-centeredness ...well my pastor said perhaps you should seek spiritual counseling else where. I'm just saying...

let the one without sin be the first one to cast stones! you have no right to judge this lady or question her christianity. god said judge not least you be judged. god wants us to take care of the vessel that he lent us for just a short while. as long as she is not vain i dont think she is sining god wants us to be happy he gave this talent to the drs and some people need it to make their life better. you probably had an easy life and look 30 forever. what about the people that have had a rough life through no fault of their own. maybe they have been a victim of an acholic partenter and or a victim of domestic violence. do u not think they have every right to have a normal life? what about people who lose weight, i lost 50 lbs and my wrinkles became 10 times fold. if i could afford it i would have it done. i need to lose more weight but stopped because my skin is sagging so. i gained through no fault of my own. i almost died the drs gave me less than a 10 percent chancee of even coming off the operating table. then i gained weight like crazy because of medicine and not being able to do any physcial activities for over a year. im just saying facts are different for each case. so dont start judging before u know the facts..

Thank you for your kind words. It has been 2 months since I read the words that 2trusting wrote and haven't responded to her on purpose. I didn't feel that I needed to justify or defend my choices or my Christianity. I understand that she didn't have a good experience during her surgery/outcome as I did. I know that there are those that have had awful results from their surgeries and doctors that didn't care about them after they got paid. So I pray for them & you that God will touch you.

Was it painful? How long before the bruises went away?

I didn't have much pain at all. A little behind the ears as gravity was pulling down but this was gone in a few weeks. The bruising lasted about 3-4 weeks but I covered it with make-up & turtle necks.

You look great. There is a big difference between BEFORE and AFTER op. Enjoy your youthfull look, and I am sure it lifts your spirit as well, it always works this way.
