He left my face with more wrong than corrected from the facelift. The only good thing was the lasar which smoothed my cheeks. The lift itself was 5000.00 The lasar the 2400.00

He cut from my ear up to my temple which no good doctor does. It leaves scars on your face and you lose hair in your hair line. He left long wrinkles on one side of my neck and not the other. He did not improve what my two major concerns were.

He did not lift the sag under my chin and only did half of the neck. He cut very low behind one ear and the scar cannot be hidden with hair. The other side he did the incision high. Real inconsistant. His attitude was cocky.

I'm so sorry to hear about your experience. But also very greatful for your input. That dr. sounds like a real jerk. Bedside manner seems to be a thing of the past these days.

I was considering having some work done, but after reading your share, I think I'll pass. We are all beautiful in our own right. Take care of yourself and thanks for your input.

Peace

Please do not go to LSLift. There are a skin factory who care nothing about your results, just the money in their pockets. Many Plactic Surgeon in private practice have written against them. There are many women with complaints after having the surgery. It is not the much more expensive to go to a well recommend Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. Wish we could collectively form a class A lawsuit against this corporation LifeStyle Lift!

Dear Unhappy in Tampa, I am sorry to hear about your problems with LSL. Hopefully your review will help other women in making a decision on this procedure. When you decided to have the LSL surgery did you have the opportunity to talk to the Doctor before the procedure or did you see him the day of the procedure (I see where you wrote that he did not address the two major areas of concern; was wondering if you had discussed them with him?). I see that you have given them very low marks in almost all areas of service. Have you asked them about the problems that you are having and what have they told you they would do for you if anything? I too am a dissatisfied LSL client that wishes that I had never heard of the company. I also wish that reviews like this existed when I had my lift done. For all women considering this procedure, please take the time to get a 2nd opinion -- you only have one face. For the prices that they are charging for the lower-lift and then the laser surgery and extra add ons, you can go to a private ABCPS. Compare apples to apples and make sure that you talk to the doctor before you have any surgery. I wish you the Best, Chrystal Eckes

crystle, I went to the Florida Attorney General of Florida online site. Clicked on Home and scrolled to Consumer Protection and then from that drop down clicked on-line plaint form. I had called their office first and a lady had told me there is an investigation against LifeStyle Life and to fill out this form. So plese help me circulate this information on-line to all the LSL victims out there. I am not sure how to do that and hoping you are more 'blog savy' than I. Sarah

I went to the LSL Troy office and had the Laser done. They told me they could help my scaring I had from another botched mini lift that I had from another fly by night doctor (not LSL). They talked me into having my whole face done. They never touched my scares around my ears. My story and pictures are posted under laser treatments or just click on my name to read my story. Stay away from LSL

Hello.I too had the 'Lifestyle Lift in Tpa.,Fl.-I had Dr. C-Just before he ventured out on his own and began his own practice.
-I'm sorry to report that it was a horrifying experience.I was awake during the surgery,and after he cut all the way down behind my ears,he hit them with the back palm of his hand to knock them loose that I moaned and groaned.-I didn't heal for mos.I looked like a chimp.My whole face was horribly swollen after three mos.i could see that I had a huge drape of skin hanging down on one side of my neck.My eyelids were also messed up,and I had flaps of skin on the outer corners.People gasped when they saw me for mos.After several phone calls and arguing,and threatening them with a lawsuit,a new Dr.there redid it.Now,i look like I've had a stroke.He pulled the loose side tight,and the other droops.He did nothing with my eyelids,but tried to get me to pay for a brow lift.Several people have asked me if I've had a stroke.My ears still hurt all the time,are partially numb,and I have huge keloid scars around them.One earlobe is pushed out forward,and one ear looks longer than the other.-I live in Florida-yet have to keep my hair down to hide it.I called several times in the mos.to follow,but was told that it would be two years before my face 'settled'.It's been two yrs.I don't know what to do next,but am afraid to go back there.

Dear J Marie,

I am too very sorry to hear of your experience. Forget two years call an attorney. Call the bar association for an attorney that handles this kind of case. Also call the Am Board of Plastic Surgeons and report your doctor. Fill out a blog with his name and report him to other womens thinking of going to Lifestyle Life. They need to be put out of business for good.
