Unfortunately the company,LIFESTYLE LIFT gets no retractions from all the stuff they put on the internet,all the additions that their astro-turfing made have not been removed, they continue to add new and more volume to their sites so that they essentially drown out the critics.
They essentially hire inexperienced surgeons to do the work, they get about 15% of the total charges or about $1500 a case,Dr Kent and company
get 85% .They are very good at marketing the surgery because the people are sales persons who know little or none about the surgery.
All patients are numbed up with local anesthesia just like the dentist uses, but may be 15-25 separate injections, they do hurt, but the patients get valium which reduces their will to leave,or get up.
Most of the surgeons are trainees with little or no experience but after 1000 cases most do better, its just the first 1000 that may not get
a good lift. And the procedure does have its limits depending on how much undermining is done, some surgeons again do a better job than others,
The real problem for the patients is that the followup care is done by
surgery techs who have little or no training.they are made to make surgeon decisions with out the surgeon supervision, since the operating room is and payment to the doctor is done on pure volume, he does not have time for this care, some of which violates the code of surgeons of doing no harm and letting no one do the post -op care.
They consider most of the patients as trailer trash who have no friends
who may have had this surgery, so they do not know what they may expect,and since most states as far as this surgery are buyer beware
states the company can easily act as a heavy weight against all who
are antagonistic to by going to court, after all what plastic surgeon
has a lawyer in his office?, and the Centers are all separated so you do no0t sue the company you can only sue the Center and that doctor
could just go somewhere else.
So there you are and the one Class action Case in Ohio was discharged
so who but the news or internet can fight them?
