Aesthetic Thursdays: The Lie that is Lifestyle Lift....

It's been a while since I've talked plastics. I still get a lot of questions from friends, family, acquaintances, etc. that seek my opinion and ask for advice before having procedures. In some cases, they even ask if I will go to appointments with them. I'm truly honored to do so. I mean, I definitely don't want someone I care about to get poor service....which brings me to today's topic: Lifestyle Lift.

I know you have all seen the infomercial for the Lifestyle Lift procedure. Wow! If you fall for this then you are...I'm super sorry to say this, but stupid. I mean seriously, look at this before and after!! Please tell me that you really do not believe that this much of a transformation could take place under local anesthetic in less than an hour. Seriously?! No.It.Cannot! It's just not possible. This lady either had her face lipo'd or she lost weight. Plus, she had an extensive full face and neck lift, and I'm willing to bet that she also had her lips plumped, laser rejuvenation, a lower/upper blepharoplasty (eyelid lift), filler injected into her nasolabial folds (mouth parentheses) and it appears that she also had a rhinoplasty (nose job). I'm pretty sure that one would have to inject a lethal dose of topical/local anesthetic to kill the amount of pain that all of these procedures would cause! It's not possible to have this much work done in one hour under local anesthetic. Not possible!

All in all, this does not look like the same woman! Come on Lifestyle Lift people, how do you live with yourselves?!

Moral of this post: people who know my background often ask me for advice on procedures, and sadly I get asked about his particular sales pitch often. This particular company, Lifestyle Lift, is selling a lie. Now, I'm not saying that all plastics will lie about this procedure. Hopefully none of them will, but if they are selling photos illustrating these kinds of results and assuring that it is minimally invasive and performed under local anesthetic in an hours time.......run for the hills peeps. It's a big fat lie.
