Lifestyle Lift, Upper/lower Eyelids, Lipo and Laser Treatment - A Life Changing Experience!!

If I had it to do over...I would have done each procedure separately instead of all in one day. I not only had the LSL, but I did the upper and lower eye lids and a laser treatment around the mouth for line removal and some lipo in the cheeks and neck. However, I am fairly satisfied at this time.

It has been 42 days since my surgery. Everyone just loves "my new hair cut." They say that it took 20 years off my face. No one realizes I had a Life Style Lift. That is just fine with me.

Please note: Read your instructions very carefully for your at home care. I used peroxide for 2 weeks. It should have been for 1 day.

Would you mind doing a follow up to this in about 6-9 months to let us know if you are still happy ie if the results lasted for you?

I am happy that this patient is happy with her result. However, for the benefit of the readers of Realself, a little fact checking is necessary: 1) Note that these pictures are 6 weeks postop. A 6 week postop picture does not represent what a patient will look like in a year. Note that there are no 1 year follow up pictures for Lifestyle Lift on this website (this probably relates to the fact that there is no 1 year follow up at Lifestyle Lift and that many surgeons have left the company within a year). I can guarantee that this result will relax and be less than it currently is. 2) Note the forward angulation and lowering of the ears typical of a procedure where excess skin tension is placed. 3) Note the superior elevation of the chin in the postoperative picture. This is not an accurate representation of a postop neck and should not be construed as such by prospective patients. A surgeon presenting this result at an academic meeting would be criticized for the stigmatic changes noted, for the timing of the postop photo, and for the positioning of the patient. I would like to invite this individual to be the first patient on Realself to post 1 year photos.

Gee doc, give her a break. She's not submitting the photos for a medical journal. We should be glad she's happy. I checked your pics on this site. Nice work! But I noticed you don't have any one year after shots either.

Yea, and you don't hear the horrible complaints against him either.

This patient's happiness is not the issue. There is absolutely an objection to the marketing practices, sales techniques, postoperative care, patient deaths, abandoned patients, and lack of attention to patient complaints seen with Lifestyle Lift.

There certainly are a lot of complaints that the results did not last for even a year. Of course I hope this is not the case for you Carol.

Did LSL do that 2nd after shot? The reason I ask is because it is so dark. You cannot really tell that much about the picture. Glad that all worked out to your satisfaction.

And I have another question... is that a typo on the price? It is no where in the range of what a regular LSL goes for much less a laser treatment plus upper and lower eye surgery. Please respond.
