BEWARE, I went to STRAX because of their advertisement that they gave cosmetic procedures for a lesser price. I liked the idea that I may be able to have more than one procedure when I was living on a average business woman's income.
In 2007 I opted for a weekend type facelift that included lifting of the lower jowls and neck, and tissue transplantation (from my groin area) into my lips. The grueling procedure (no pain meds or anethesia; just local injections) were not worth it!
The so-called lift only lasted about 1 year and I'm back where I started. The lip enhancement continued to be a problem for over a year; one infection (highly embarrassing at work) after another! Finally on the 3rd surgery the so-called doctor took the skin completely out of my lips and left me with disfiguration and scaring, and never offered me any recourse-that is, even with my complaints to the owner and their legal department. They took $2,000 of money for the lip procedure and didn't even offer me any fillers or another method to give me fuller lips, or anything!
I still can't believe it and learned a hard lesson to never trust a business that's advertisement suggest that the price is the best thing they have going, over the doctors! These guys are QUACKS in my opinion!!
