Anyone ever heard of a "Lifestyle Lift?"
I am six months post op and have lost over 90 pounds. Normally, this would be a time to celebrate, but I also went from having (virtually) no lines in my face to looking like I'm about 80! I saw an ad for a "Lifestyle Lift" that uses a different, less invasive technique to do a face lift.
Anyone have any experience with this?
PS - I'm 60, so I don't think my skin will shrink that much on it's own...

Yes. I don't recall if it was on this forum or a different plastics site where someone posted a link with pages & pages of complaints & disasters from patients that had the "Lifestyle Lift". I found that VERY interesting since their commercials sure look & sound good!! If I find the link, I'll post it.

I researched this and found that most people were very UNsatisfied with their results with real people suggesting to save your money for a "real" facelift. Other comments included that they used high pressures sales techniques; never met the doctor that operated until the day of surgery.
I had a lower face/neck lift and am very happy with my results.
Research Lifestyle lift before you even set foot into their offices. My research scared me so much that I never did go for a consult.
Let us know what you think after your consultation.

IMHO there is one, and only one, reliable source of non-biased plastic surgery information on the web. I personally use the site as a guide when considering the purchase of new equipment.
The people at RealSelf do their homework, and sort out any BS reviews being posted by questionable individuals or entities. There is very little commercial presence on their site, and doctors are ranked only by what they contribute to the community in terms of information.

I have read and heard SOOOO many negative things about this "lift" that I'm almost begging you not to do it! Please do as others have suggested and REALLY research this procedure - it's just so questionable about the end results and I've yet to hear of ANYONE that has been happy with their results. Yes, the pics look SOOOO great, don't they? Just read on the internet; you'll see.
