Interested in a face lift, but worried that you’ll end up with the ever dreaded “plastic” look? Well worry not. Dr. Gregory A. Mantooth is an experienced plastic surgeon at Piedmont Plastic Surgery & Dermatology in Charlotte, North Carolina, and according to him, the right doctor can work wonders for your face without leaving you looking like something out of a cartoon.
The average patient who comes into a plastic surgeon’s office looking for a face lift is probably concerned with one thing – looking younger. As people get older, their skin tends to start sagging in all the wrong places. While some affected areas of the body can be covered and kept out of sight, the face is the one part of the body that is perpetually exposed – which is why it’s natural for so many people to be drawn to the idea of a face lift.
The key to a great looking face lift is for a doctor to produce an appearance that is youthful without seeming “overdone.” In fact, according to Dr. Mantooth, a successful procedure is one that results in patients looking like a more beautiful, youthful version of themselves.
So how do doctors go about achieving such ideal results? In Dr. Mantooth’s experience, the key to performing the perfect face lift is to gently work with the patient’s tissue to produce a look that is natural and soft. Of course, the term “face lift” can mean a lot of different things for a lot of different people. Some patients may only need their neck areas tightened, while others may require work along the jaw line, or work around the eyelids and eyebrows. When it comes to any sort of facial procedure, the key is for a doctor to pay close attention to a patient’s needs and work the skin in a manner that keeps it as natural looking as possible.
In the hands of a good, reputable doctor, face lifts can produce impressive results. And remember, just because they call it “plastic surgery” doesn’t mean that there will be anything plastic looking about your new and improved appearance.
