My name is Mary, I'm from []. I had the lifestyle lift back in Dec. of 2008. They promised me I would look 10 years younger. That is not the case at all. I look the same, still have the jawls and the neck is still wrinkled. When I went in to have the procedure, it was bad. They took me in the room, had me sit in an upright chair, gave me two pills, waited only 10 minutes and started freezing my face. I thought I was going to pass out from the pain of all those needles. My body started jerking and I thought I was going into shock. I remember the doctor laughing. You'll be fine. Then I asked him if it was normal and he said yes. I asked him if maybe he should have waited a half hour to 45 minutes before starting the procedure so the medication can start working, he wouldn't answer me. When I told him that I felt like passing out he just kept working. He started to cut on my face and I could hear the skin being cut off, with a cracking sound in my ear. Then could feel him pulling on my face. I don't remember him working on the left side of my face at all. The procedure was $4000 and now I have to pay someone else to fix my face the right way. I have seen another doctor and he did tell me, "The other doctor should have waited at least 45 minutes after the medication was given". I couldn't believe all the pain that I had to go through. I still haven't received my after pictures. They sent my before pictures as after pictures. In my before pictures, I had my hair up and my after pictures I wore my hair down. I would never refer these people to anyone. The doctor never talked to me at all. When I went in to get my after pictures taken, she asked me if I wanted to talk to the doctor about anything. He walked into the room and stood up for the whole conversation and laughing at my concerns about not being able to notice a difference. This doctor is like, pick a number and we'll just run you right through. He is just in it for the money and doesn't have any bedside manner at all.

I was done in Santa Ana in Jan of 2007. The procedure is nothing like they tell you up front. During my procedure the doctor and his assistant talked about women and cars. I felt like I was not enen in the room. That was very unprofessional. I was not deadend enough and he kept cutting me and hurting me. I had draping on the side of my face for months. Everyone wanted to know what had happened to me. I called several times after the surgury concerned about the draping. Never got a call back from any doctor. After getting very nasty on the I was given an appointment to come back. Waited in their office for three hours to see the doctor. He breezed in and out so fast I hardly got to talk to him. After one year my neck is back to the way it was when I had it done. Would not recommnend this procedure at all.

I had this procedure done in Dec 2003. I had seen the commercials on Tv(it was new at the time) and thought this must be the thing for me! I was 50 and just starting to show some minor jowling. Nothing too droopy. I paid $3,800 cash and they of course promised me I would look 20 years younger, and be able to go back to work the next day. Good thing I wasn't working at that time, I couldn't go out for about a month and even then I looked ODD. I came back for my stitches to be removed and was told not to expect much improvement for about 4 months, until the "collegen" in my face had rebuilt(HUH?) At around 4 months I realized I really didn't look any different, yet, I wouldn't admit this until a year had passed. I was so embarassed that I bought into all the false claims and lies. I have pain in my temple area to this day whenever there it is very hot or very cold. In Michigan that's a LOT of the time. I have headaches and pixie ears too. I wont go into the horror of the stupid dentist chair I had to sit in and the burning flesh I had to smell and the cutting, as others have said it in other posts. I would like to address how on the other side some have said we here are not real patients. Why would we bother to post here if not? AND I had NO FOLLOW UP VISITS scheduled for me other than the stitch removal. When they took out the stitches, I asked about when to schedule follow up visits, and they said to me, THATS IT, you're DONE THERE IS NOTHING MORE. They took NO after pics, and only ONE BEFORE, telling me I was responsible for taking my OWN afters!!! I do think my surgeon was not a bad surgeon, in my opinion, the procedure is flawed. I have since read what amount smas is stitched, and it is stitched up only in three small spots and can't possibly hold for long. This explains a lot. I would like to tell the smug ones to keep watching for it to fall, because it will. I also have learned the surgeons themselves only receive a few hundred for doing the surgery and the "company" gets the rest. I'm tired of the victims being blamed for "not doing our homework" That is SO not fair.

I hope our stories warn others AWAY from this procedure.My 3 hour excrutiating surgery was 12/06 in NJ office. There are NO positive results and many pains I never had before.I have repeatedly tried to get my $6800 refunded. They simply say this is NOT a guaranteed procedure and everyones results will vary.What a scam. I am anxious to be part of a class action suit against Lifestyle Lift. If anyone is arranging that, please contact me. And please be warned.. DO NOT HAVE A LIFESTYLE LIFT!!!!!

I thought I was the only one who had a bad experience with Lifestyle Lift! They are liars who use salespeople to push this on you like they are selling used cars. They say anything to get you to sign up. I should have known not to fall for it, but my vanity got in the way of my good sense. There should be a law against selling surgery that way. It's disgraceful. The results were minimal. After 2 years, I am still suffering from this procedure, am badly scarred and have pain and itching even though I followed the after-surgery directions. To think that I paid to go through this! I would love to get a group lawsuit going. Any ideas?

I heard about Lifestyle Lift from a friend who saw it on all the major tv networks. I did a web search and found the lsl website. I called the Michigan number to get an appointment. I live in TN and the closest place for me to go was Georgia. I was assured by the Michigan office that everything I needed done would be done, the sagging jowls, nasolabial folds, lower eyelid surgery, necklift, and was told it would take 10 yrs off my face; I'm 56. I was sent a packet of information showing beautiful results so I thought, wow, this is great!!! So, I went to my scheduled appt in Sept 2007 and the Atlanta office did not even have me scheduled for the necklift part, so that was an additional cost, totaling 5800.00 USD. A girl took lots of pictures of me before surgery. Then, I was given a valium, laid on a table that was more like a gurney, the instruments were laid on my stomach and I'm like "why are they laying that stuff on my stomach"? Then the doctor gave me a "twilight" shot and said I wouldn't feel anything. He started given me novacaine shots in my face which felt like hornet stings. I told him he HAD to stop doing that. He was surprised that I felt it so he gave me another twilight shot, which did not put me in a twilight sleep; I know what that is. Then he started cutting on me and I heard it as each cut was made to my face. I still have nightmares about that and cringe. Then he inserted some objects in my eyeballs, which I suppose had to do with the lower eyelid surgery and I felt the pressure so badly. I was then wrapped up in a head bandage that was so tight, it actually was pressing the back of my tongue up to my soft palate, keeping me from breathing. I had to stay in a hotel in Atlanta and keep the head wrap on all night. The pain was horrific and I bled thru the gauze. I literally had double vision so badly that I could not walk a straight line, which I assume was from the things he inserted into my eyes for the lower lift. That double vision lasted almost 24 hours and I had to be led around; thank God I did bring a friend!! At home, finally, I followed all the rules, kept the bandage on for a couple of weeks, which was excruciating since it pressed so hard against my ears and neck. I look like I'd been hit by a truck; it was awful. I don't work so I didn't have to worry about that, but I could NOT get out of the house in the week they say you can. I couldn't leave for at least a month. I'd had a facelift several years ago that left me with a pixie ear, which is practice from the 50's, and the doctor in Atlanta did correct that on my right ear, but now my right ear sticks out further from my head than my left one does, even to the point it shows thru my hair so I have to do my hair differently to cover that up. I still get a stinging sensation in parts of my face where the novacaine shots were given. And, I've always slept on my right side, but can't now because there is an excruciating pain in my cheekbone that I never had before. And, the pain in my temple never goes away; it's like a stabbing pain with a knife in my temple. When I went for my follow up visit, I told my dr I was not satisfied at all and he said, I kid you not "well, there's some slight improvement on the left side of your face". I told him that it was my right side that needed the most tightening and that I expected to look like I'd had a facelift, not a "slight improvement" on one side, geesssshhhh. So, he offered to give me a chemical peel for free that would "help" tighten things up. WRONG!! I peeled and there is still no difference. I'm still swollen on the right side of my face, somewhat. But, since most of the swelling has gone, it looks as if I had no facelift at all, no improvement whatsoever. I got suckered in, paid the money, and got zip, zilch, nada, nothing in return, except a bad facelift/no facelift, no improvement in my neck, no improvement in my eyes whatsoever, pain in my cheekbone and temple on the right side and a big load of disappointment. I would NOT recommend this lsl to anyone. I will be more than happy to participate in a class action lawsuit if need be. I will also tell my story on national tv if need be. This is a scam and they should be ashamed of themselves for preying on people who are just trying to feel better about themselves. I am just sick about all this.

I had a my first free consult today with a girl who I thought was the doctor. Turned out she is not and that I would have to put down $400 and wait until March to see the doctor. I told her I need to think it over. Now tonight I read all of these posts and I want to say thank you to everyone for posting what it's really like. I will definately not get this procedure done and I am only 51 years old and they were telling me to do chin, upper eyes, lower eyes and around the ears. It would have run $10,000 for the whole thing. Thank you thank you and sorry to all who has been hurt by this procedure.

I had my surgery on 0ct.29th of 2007.I did everything I was told and paid my four thousand dollars to the new mexico office.I wanted to make sure he was going to take my laugh lines away.No problem right.When I got back to the motel room and took the big bandage off I cried when I saw I still looked about the same.He didnt take any of my wrinkles away accept for the ones next to my ears.Its over 3 months now and I still cant sleep on my ears.First it was numb for two and a half months but now that I can feel again I can feel the stiches under my skin.My neck fell a week later and now I look the same as before.What a waist of time and pain.Oh by the way it is very painful and you could never go back to work the next day like they say.You have black stiches all behind your ears and in front that are very noticeable.Thank u for listening and please check out your doctor before you have it done.

My friend told me about the Lift and as the office was close to my atp. in New York City I went in and after waiting 2 hrs was seen by a white coated (car sales men type) girl. I was shown a video but only showed the same photos of their single brochure. Nothing was shown about the real procedure and how they perform the surgery. That bothered me and it should have. The you can go have lunch after line was also given. As I had recently been quoted a large fee from a "Park Ave" surgeon I though 6,000 was a bargain. I also asked for a price list and they didn't have one. I wonder what kind of prices they charge each person for the same work. But 2 weeks later my complaint is one side of my neck has a long indention and a hard lump behind the ear. I thought I had a "hemotoma" but the operating doctor said no- wait for the swelling to go down, but you known when something is wrong and I said this isn't normal swelling. It appeared the neck muscle had been pulled too tight on one side and was in spasm. I don't know what the indention is but am planning on seeing a different doctor for an outside opinion. A friend of mine thought I had a tumor removed from my neck. Wonder what I will do to correct this, but I will file a complaint against them if this isn't resolved. My doctor was nice and appeared confident. I think there sales practices are cheap and they need to use nurses and not just giving a lab coat to any college kid looking for a job. I am curious if the doctors that come their are doing it for the practice. I had signed up for the month to month plan so we'll see how that goes. I'm not paying if the other side of my neck isn't fixed. I read so many people complained about their ears. One of my lobes is much larger than the other one. I don't know how that could have happened. I'll be glad to join a class action. My address is [] and my email is []. My phone number is []. Some changes really need to be forced to happen at this company.

I had the Lifesyle Lift with Lipo 12/18/07. I did everything that I was told to do postop. I am still at six weeks out wearing a headband at night (normally for 4 weeks). My problem is that my neck has loose skin that is very unattractive. (I did'nt even have this problem before) I just had my 6 week postop visit and I felt like I was being put off. My options that were given were 1)do nothing (don't think so), 2)make an incision down my neck and "tighten the skin" (again don't think so. Who would want a visible scar for everyone to see?) or 3)have laser treatment (at whose expense?) I was then told to wear my headband for another month and come back in two months!!! I don't know what another month of a headband is going to do other than keeping it from getting worse. For the ones that think that these are make up, will this one is not!!! Yes, I did my research beforehand, asked questions, was very realistic that this is SURGERY (no you will not be back at work in a "few days" more like 3 weeks)and I did everything that they instructed me to do. For those of you had a good outcome, I am very glad for you. I wish I was oneof you. I am just posting this to inform people that are considering this procedure that if you do have a problem it will not be addressed properly!!!!!

I had a Life Style Lift in January 2008. My complaint is not against the Doctor. I believe him to be competent and qualified. My complaint is against the company itself for it's BLATANTLY FALSE ADVERTISING and MANIPULATIVE SALES TECHNIQUES. The procedure is NOTHING as it is described. I NEVER would have had this done to myself. They make it out to be simple, quick and easy...return to work the next day, even go out to lunch afterward. It is painful, grueling, traumatic and the recovery time, swelling, bruising and scars are FAR WORSE than ANYTHING they sell to the women who buy this procedure.

My procedure was done on Jan 12th 2007. It was not as simple as they said it would be and it was a very painful procedure with the technician there continuing to inject me with more novacaine because not enough was injected the first time. The smell of burning flesh made me sick to my stomach. It was not a simple 1 hour procedure, actually he took less then that, I felt like a drive through customers. I was packed and wrapped and sent home to take pain pills. I got sick to my stomach from the pain radiating from my face. I was unable to do anything throughout the entire weekend so when they said back to your normal life the next day they lied. I couldn't even go outside I looked like a crash victim. I am scarred to an extent that I can only wear my hair down, I am so off balanced I can not wear ear rings any longer because my ears are lop sided. My ear lobes are melted to the side of my face. I went back to them to complain about this and the one doctor asked me "well what do you want me to do about it" and he proceeded to tell me to go back to the doctor that did the surgery. I found out later on that this doctor was actually a Ears, Nose and Throat specialist and under my CIGNA insurance. He was not a plastic surgeon. I am so scarred and off balance and the surgery did not do one bit of difference. I am going to another plastic surgeon. (This is how I found out that the doc that did me was in another specialty field) He knew who he gave me a run down of what they did to me. My right ear is so low its by my jawline and my left ear is so far back its not aligned with my ear canal and just think the doctor that did my procedure is a Ear Nose and Throat specialist, I would hate to see what he is doing to his patients now. Costing me over 8000.00 to repair what LSL did to me and then get he procedure done the correct way this time. They just kept chasing me away when I went to them and now I have to resort to trying to find someone to fix it and go through recovery all over again. Dont get this done its really a horrible procedure. You will only get disfigured.

I was sucked into the high pitched LSL procedure. That's exactly what I was told..it's a 1"scar in the front folds of the ear 'procedure'. What I got was a lower facelift& didn't know it til the next day when I saw how large the scars were. I am 21 mos. post surgery& still having terrible pain. I can't wear high neck blouses, sleep on either side or have my coat touch my earlobes w/o pain. I was also giver 'pixie ears'. When all healing was done& bandages were off, I noticed my earlobes were sewed down& into my face. Upon telling the Dr, his response was to' Make another appt& we will do a revisional surgery'. When I asked if they'd just loosen the earlobe , he said "no, it's too dangerous, we have to redo the whole thing"& will sew your right ear like the other one. The right ear is a pixie ear, but not as noticeable as the left. He was perturbed at me for even being upset& at one point he rolled his eyes! This same Dr told me a few times he was a certified plastic surgeon. Their website says they do thorough 'background checks' on all dr's. Had they done that, they'd have known this Dr was let go of a major hospital& his licence was on probation for one year! I have gone back there several times trying to get my medical records to see what was done to me since I was only told they's put a small incision in the fron folds, cut off the excess& be done. It was supposed to be an hr. procedure. It was over 2 hrs. They never applied pressure bandages for the swelling& I basically was told that my nerves& the pain& sensations I was experiencing was normal& could last a yr or more. I did all aftercare by the book. I ended up having to pay again out of pocket for a real plastic surgeon to see me& he thought my greater auricular nerve was ionjured or cut& that every P.S knows to stay away from that nerve. I have choking sensations, earlobe& temple pain, back of the ear discharge still& pain. Everytime I call, the Dr is always in surgery.The real plastic surgeon said not to have the revisional surgery& see a neurologist& told me he can't help me. I called 5 other P.S' s & all heard LSL& wouldn't see me. The neurologist put me on horrific meds that made my eyes so sleepy, but when I tried to sleep, I never could. It didn't agree w/ me at all. I was advised by 'we care @ [] to see the plastic surgeon that practices there approx. once a month, but as a courtesy, see the Dr that did this to me. The appts were over a month apart. Everytime I had an appt w/ the Dr that did it, he was always late& I was cancelled, so my appt w/ the other Dr finally came. The office manager came in the room& I started off w/ where my pain was, etc. When I mentioned my pain also in the temples, he clearly stated,"That's impossible, we don't go into the temples". To that Dr's surprise, the office manager blurted out that the Dr who did me does go into the temple& he was SHOCKED. He reccommended also seeing a neurologist& let him know & he himself would do the surgery. The neurolist said no, we don't even know what they did. I have another appt coming up w/ her. What upsets me the most is the total disregard they have for the patient, never keeping logs of our calls& never returning our calls. Basically I never got followup care. When I went in to get my medical records, I was shown my file& there was a small page that had 2 calls logged in from me, no emails, no appts, other calls, discontent, disappointment, pleas for the Dr to call, etc. I am left w/ p[iixie ears, severe pain. stitches growing out of the back of my ear& temple& no Dr wanting to help me at all. They also stated when I went for my records that they's have to charge me $25.00 for the records& allow the Dr to review them& send it to LEGAL to review, back to the DR & to me. I got a couple fudged pages& I know this cause I saw my file. I also saw the internal memo to employess on what to do if patients ask to see their records. They violated my Hippaa Law on 2 occassions& I never got the 2nd dr that works there report. I am treated like a nuisance when I walk in& I resent that. I need to find out what was done to get help& they are denying me proper medical help. I have been waiting since the 1st week of Nov. for the reports.. They got their money& thats all they care about. Too bad we are left to suffer, w no-one to help us. I didn't do this because it was so affordable, I did it cause of the small incisions, the endorsements they show from the TV stations, that give a false sense of security& cause I felt he was a cert. Plastic surgeon& it was easy. Go back to work the next day, they said, one hr procedure, little pain, eat the next day. Heck, I couldn't open my mouth for 5 days, ate from a straw, then a spoon. I know some ppl are happy, but many many are disfigured& in alot of pain. I can't imagine going thru this again. I wasn't told i'd hear the clipping of skin, smell the burning flesh, etc. They treat their practice as a business& I believe it's against the law. Anyway this is a short version of my story& I hope it helps. God Bless

My story is much like many of the others. I, too, went in for a consultation for a LSL (June 2005)and I too, had some "bimbo" pull my face back and show me in a mirror what I would look like after the procedure. She also suggested that I have my eyes done, too. I was told that my jowls would be done and, in the process, they would also be tightening the SMAS muscles in my neck to get rid of the turkey neck appearance and loose kin. First, I would like to say to people who say we did not do our homework before having the procedure, and thus the reason for our unfavorable results, is that LSL did not do their homework. They were negligent in that fact that they informed me that I was a good candidate for the procedure when, in fact, I was not. They take advantage of everyone that walks through their door by telling them that the procedure is "perfect for them" and that they are a perfect candidate. NOT TRUE!!!! As I have come to find out. The FIRST procedure was not all that bad, although there was no way I could have gone back to work in 24 or 48 hours - in fact, I work from home and I still was unable to work for at least five days. I looked very good for the first month or so, but as the swelling slowly subsided I began to look more and more like I never had anything done. I waited about 8 months and contacted LSL and reported my dissatisfaction with the procedure. I went back in for a second consultation where they did agree to "redo" the procedure, but told me I probably wouldn't see much of a difference in results - Now why is that? The first time I went in for the LSL consultation, they told me I would have terrific results. Now, the second time, they are telling me I probably wouldn't see much in the way of results. I did ask the nurse/assistant at the time of my second consultation why my results weren't like those they advertised all over TV and in their brochures and she actually said to me "Well, of course, we are only going to advertise only those who have had successful results." Obviously I didn't because you won't see me in any of their advertisements. In any event, reluctantly, I went through the procedure the second time (different doctor, first doctor was no longer with LSL) and to my dismay it was the worst thing I ever underwent in my life. During the first procedure I was adequately sedated and didn't feel much of anything. During the second procedure, however, I felt every one of the what felt like 200 numbing injections they gave me. I actually was considering getting up and walking out and not having the procedure completed - the pain was unbearable. So, here we are, two years after the initial LSL procedure (which would last 8 to 10 years) and I look exactly like I looked prior to the procedure. The problem with the LSL is they will perform the procedure on any person that walks through their door. After TWO LSL's I can guarantee with you 100% certainty I can call and make another consultation appointment with them, and they would recommend that I have a LSL and, would have great results and be an excellent candidate. I just recently consulted with another plastic surgeon who actually told me that the LSL was not for everyone and that the procedure I really needed, for the results I wanted, would run about $8400.

Lifestyle Lift, national company with offices in major cities. I had a neck & face lift in Sept 07...after the swelling was gone so was the face lift. This company uses moonlighting doctors, no nurses and is like a assembly line....you are awake during the procedure. Sales tactics are the same as used car dealers, discount if you sign up now. They are on all networks advertising their procedure. False advertisement, lunch hour procedure, no down time, etc. While researching, I found a website with horror stories from other Lifestyle Lift customers, from disfigurements to no results. Of course I am a unhappy patient and have made 2 office visits and met with the doctor to discuss my concerns...dismissed me saying "you look great". Since the procedure, I have met with 2 plastic surgeons for a consult and they were shocked with Lifestyle Lift's dangerous medical practice procedures. No pre-opt test, you can have high blood pressure, smoke, etc. and they will do the procedure. The Texas Medical Board has opened a investigation to look into this business, they are a national company and someone should take the lead to stop them before someone dies during this procedure. I have been interviewed by a local news station with will air next month. Please feel free to contact me for more information. Thanks in advance, Sharron []

I had LifestyleLift Dec.2006 in NJ.I looked just like 2 of the"before"ladies in the infomercial,needing jowls, puppetlines fixed. They suggested adding lipo and eyelids.Procedure was 3 hours of complete torture @$6800.I left oozing blood(normal they said)looking like a wrapped mummy and had 5days of horrific pain. I have NO positive results. I look just like before...and have the addition of pain from ear to ear entire jawline and neck area.Refund request has been denied. I'm hoping class action suit will ensue.

I had my Lifestyle lift on March 19 th 2007. The procedure itself took about an hour. A pressure dressing was applied, which I certainly could not have gone out in public with. It was large and very bulky. The pain was controllable with the prescription the doctor provided (Avocet). I did not have a problem with drainage or infection. The scars are barely noticeable. The numbness took about 9 months to go away. After about a month I felt comfortable to go out in public, my swelling subsided, and I wore small band aids at my scars. I mainly got the lift to handle slight sagging at the jaw line. Well the slight sagging at the jaw is gone. But I was left with sagging at either side of my mouth. One side worst than the other. I have been asked by acquaintances if I had a stroke... I would not recommend anyone have this procedure.

I had surgery on January 24th, 2007. It has been 1 almost year from date of surgery and there is no change in my appearance. As of this time no one has noticed the changes because the changes are un noticeable. I strongly feel that the procedure is very misleading and there was no mention of the length of recovery time. We had no idea that there would be a long and painful time to recover. She could not exercise for six weeks and that in turn lead her to gain weight furthering the turmoil that was this surgery. The price for this misleading and extended recovery procedure was $4200 of which would have been better spent toward real plastic surgery. There is a scar on her chin from the lipo that never disappeared and she is still experiencing pain in the incision areas. I am very dissatisfied with the whole process and results. They sell you a bill of goods and mislead you into thinking that you will out and about in a matter of days with immediate results. Its not fair, my mental state is very distraught at this point and I have no results from this surgery. When I questioned the doctor he told me my expectations where to high and I should lose some weight.

Nothing ended up being as represented, and the he entire consulatation experience was one of basic high-pessure, used-car salesman tactics. They pressure the "candidate" with lots of fast talk-- "this offer is only good today," "I'm going to be doing this soon myself," their infomercial replete with happy patients runs in an endless loop in every room, special financing is arranged which ends up being nothing like what was discussed (0% for 3 months, 9.9% thereafter promised; actual rate--23% from day 1), the "board certified" surgeon I was told would be doing the surgery was--and still is--actually board ELIGIBLE--HUGE difference, and one to which I would never have agreed as I know the difference, recovery time was massively longer and more painful than depicted, after-care was abysmal and dismissive, THREE attempts to stitch my earlobe back to my face were a failure--it still is hanging and painful, scars are excessive and very apparent, cutting placement on one procedure has resulted in an appearance of deformity, nothing addressed that there could be permanent numbness and pain, there's a great lack of symmetry of procedures done on each side of the face, etc., etc., etc. During the procedure, I became so uncomfortable with the process that I actually wanted to get up in the middle of it and discontinue, but the cutting had already been done and it was too late. After all that, results were minimum, and the only observations from people afterward were negative. I even told the surgeon that hearing, "You look tired," was not what I was going for. In all, at minimum I feel mutilated and defrauded. This was a very expensive procedure which increased dramatically with the exorbitant interest rate, and I now needs corrective follow-up care which I cannot afford. Their commercials air constantly, and the more I seem them the angrier I get. They need to be widely investigated. Granted, there are happy patients; but it is readily apparent that these people were selected because they had far more dramatic need for procedures than the average "suitable candidate" and that they received absolute premium surgeons and care for the specific purpose of promotional advancement.

I had this done a year ago and I was promised by the doctor, 5 minutes before surgery, that my results would be "a great result" because I " didn't have much going on". I am 42 and had a bit of lax skin in the middle of my neck. The doctor AGREED with me that my face was flawless and didn't need a thing. They never mentioned in their advertising, literature, or at the consult and surgey date that this is a lower FACELIFT. I would have never consented to this and guess what...my lawyer reviewed my records and said I never did consent to this. They ignored me when I called them and questioned this whole process. They actually tried to get me to go back to the hack that did this. I refused and made an appointment with a board certified doctor. At that consent which was 5 months later I was informed I had a facelift. I was shocked and started crying. The doctor also told me that while examining me that there is NO WAY LSL could have delivered the results promised because of the postioning of the scars. He told me he fix's this procedure "ALL WEEK LONG" and said he can fix me, to some extent, for $16,500. I have pixie ear deformity, which is the sign of a bad facelift, keloid scarring, pain in both ears so severe I cannot sleep on them and nothing happened to that bit of lax skin on my neck. My lawyer wants all who have been victimized by their lies to join a med mal suit against them. If anyone is interested please e-mail me at []
