Common Lifestyle Lift Complaints
The Lifestyle Lift is an innovative cosmetic procedure that greatly reduces the visible signs of aging. The Lifestyle Lift specifically helps to reduce wrinkles, laugh lines, hanging jowls, and loose skin around the face and neck.
What does it do?
The Lifestyle Lift usually takes about an hour to complete, and in the end, you'll look years younger! In fact, most Lifestyle Lift clients report looking and feeling at least 10 years younger than their pre-Lifestyle Lift appearances. As the years progress, the skin on the face and around the neck begins to lose its elasticity. As this happens, the jawline begins to sag, neck folds begin to develop, and wrinkles begin to deepen. With the Lifestyle Lift, these effects are eliminated or greatly reduced. While the results are often quite dramatic, they are also very natural. You will look like yourself - just much younger and healthier!

What can I expect?
Once you've scheduled and attended your free Lifestyle Lift consultation, and have your Lifestyle Lift appointment, there's no doubt that you're experiencing some anxiety about what to expect from the Lifestyle Lift procedure.
Don't worry - you aren't alone, and the anxiety and nervousness are completely normal. In fact, it would be unusual for any facial plastic surgery patient to NOT be nervously anticipation the procedure. We want to help calm your nerves and guide you through the process with as little worry as possible. Here are some general guidelines of what to expect as you go into your Lifestyle Lift experience. And remember, any questions that aren't answered here can be directly addressed to your Lifestyle Lift doctor or any Lifestyle Lift representative prior to the procedure.
1. Expect to Be Informed
If you have already attended your free Lifestyle Lift consultation, you probably had many questions that were asked and answered. Remember that it's never too late to ask questions and express concerns. You can always call a Lifestyle Lift representative prior to your scheduled procedure, and feel free to ask questions when you arrive at your appointment.
2. Expect to Be Comfortable
You will not be under a general anesthesia during the Lifestyle Lift procedure. Instead, a local anesthesia is used to ensure that you are comfortable throughout the procedure.
3. Expect Efficiency
The Lifestyle Lift procedure generally takes about than an hour, so you will not be spending huge amounts of time at the Lifestyle Lift center. You'll be released shortly following basic post-procedure care provided by the professional medical staff.
4. Expect Quick, But Realistic Recovery
Most Lifestyle Lift patients return to many of their normal activities in about a week. You may experience some bruising and soreness for a short period following the procedure, but your recovery time will often be mush quicker with the Lifestyle Lift than through traditional plastic surgery.
Turkey Neck / Excess Neck Skin
The "turkey neck syndrome" is a telltale sign of early aging that can add years to your appearance. This effect occurs when there is excess skin and folds hanging from the front and sides of the neck, which can give the appearance of a turkey's gobbler. The Lifestyle Lift is ideal for addressing this particular concern, and will tighten and reduce the excess skin around the neck. This is one of the most common complaints of many people who decide to choose the Lifestyle Lift procedure - and the results are amazing!
Smile / Frown Lines
The deep creases that can form around the mouth and nose result from a lifetime of smiling and frowning. These smile and frown lines can develop early, which makes both men and women look much older than their age. The Lifestyle Lift will help to reduce these deep creases and wrinkles when other face lifts and plastic surgeries can't.
When the Lifestyle Lift procedure tightens the skin around the mouth, it instantly removes those years of wrinkles and creases, and can reduce your appearance by up to a decade or more!
Sagging Jaw Line / Jowls
This is another very common issue that many Lifestyle Lift patients experience prior to the Lifestyle Lift procedure. In this instance, the skin along the jawline begins to sag. This loose skin hangs and droops from the face, and can make an individual look older, tired, and haggard. The Lifestyle Lift will again help to define a strong, straight jawline when that loose skin is drawn tight once again.
Skin Folds
It's no secret that as we age, the skin on our faces begins to stretch and become less elastic. When this happens, folds of sagging skin can develop. These skin folds often add years to one's appearance, as well as giving the appearance of a constant frown, weight gain, and other negative aspects.
With the Lifestyle Lift, these folds will be removed and tightened, which leads to a more refreshed and rejuvenated appearance.
Wondering if the Lifestyle Lift is right for you? While only our Lifestyle Lift professionals can provide a complete professional assessment to determine whether or not the procedure is ideal for your situation, we can tell you a bit more about how the Lifestyle Lift was developed and why.
Why the Lifestyle Lift Was Developed
Dr. David Kent, the founder and developer of the Lifestyle Lift, was approached by a patient one day who wanted to express her concerns about the signs of aging on her face. The patient was not ready for an extensive procedure, but she felt like more was needed than Botox or other alternatives.
Dr. Kent realized that many individuals in their 40s, 50s, and 60s were in needed of an alternative to traditional face lift, which requires patients to face the risks associated with general anesthesia and grapple with recovery times that could last for weeks or months. Dr. Kent worked with other professional facial plastic surgeons to develop the Lifestyle Lift which requires only local anesthesia and an average recovery period that is shorter than traditional face lifts and plastic surgery.
The Lifestyle Lift as an Alternative to 'Traditional' Face Lifts
Busy professionals and parents don't have the time to devote to recovering from a face lift, Dr. Kent realized, which is why the Lifestyle Lift is such a popular alternative to more invasive and lengthy procedures. And today, nearly 100,000 individuals have had their lives drastically improved by the Lifestyle Lift.
Who Performs the Lifestyle Lift
In addition, Dr. Kent and the Lifestyle Lift team carefully developed a policy to only train certified plastic surgeons on the specifics of performing the Lifestyle Lift. While dermatologists and other non-specialists are legally able to conduct face lifts, the Lifestyle Lift team only welcomes surgeons that are certified plastic surgeons or facial plastic surgeons.

Common Lifestyle Lift Complaints
The Lifestyle Lift has greatly improved the lives of tens of thousands of clients, and while most of the response has been extremely positive, we do occasionally hear some complaints. In an effort to provide as much information as possible up front, here are some of the most common Lifestyle Lift complaints, along with some explanation.
Lifestyle Lift Complaint #1
"I had to wait over a month to get a date scheduled for my Lifestyle Lift. The long wait is really inconvenient, especially when I'm ready for my Lifestyle Lift now!"
Because of the positive press coverage the Lifestyle Lift has received and the incredible results our clients have shared with their family and friends, more people than ever are deciding to explore the Lifestyle Lift as a way to improve their lives. Unfortunately, this means that our Lifestyle Lift doctors stayed booked up and busy throughout the year! At some centers, it may be a few weeks before there is an open date available to schedule the procedure. We ask that our customers be patient, and spend the days waiting for the Lifestyle Lift to say goodbye to their tired, aged look!
Lifestyle Lift Complaint #2
"When I met with my Lifestyle Lift doctor at my free consultation, I couldn't think of any questions to ask about the procedure. I wish there were some questions available so that I'm sure I know everything before the procedure."
Our Lifestyle Lift doctors want to make sure that all of your questions are answered prior to your Lifestyle Lift procedure. We suggest that you spend some time prior to your consultation formulating a list of questions and concerns for your Lifestyle Lift doctor to address during your consultation. You'll also find several answers to questions and possible ideas for questions on our Website, so take some time to look over the site.
Lifestyle Lift Complaint #3
"I had to drive two hours to get to the nearest Lifestyle Lift center. Can you put a Lifestyle Lift center in my town?"
While we wish we could have a center in every town, at this point we just simply do not have enough trained and certified Lifestyle Lift doctors available to staff hundreds of centers. Instead, we work to train only the very best doctors and plastic surgeons, all of whom are board-certified in facial plastic surgery. We do maintain centers at locations throughout the country, and try to establish centers so that the farthest one is within a short drive. Since the procedure itself takes very little time, it should be no problem for most clients to travel to and from the center on the day of their procedure within a day.
