Shortly after entering my 40's my jowls began to sag, and the contour of my neck began to decline. After trying multiple noninvasive cosmetic procedures, such as Juvaderm, a facial thread lift, and neck tightening creams, my neck continued to decline. Everytime I saw my reflection, I noticed my "waddle" under my chin, and it killed my confidence. So finally at age 47, I had enough and decided to look into having surgery. I scheduled consults with two surgeons I found on Realself, after doing months of research, reading reviews and looking at pictures. One of those two consults was with Enhanced Image Center, and after a very welcoming and thoroughly discussed consult of my concerns, scheduled a surgery date. Dr. Maholtra performed the Look Natural Lift on me in January 2022, and although I had a longer recovery then expected due to unforseen complications, I am thrilled with my results. I recently had someone guess my age and was told I look 27! I just turned 48. :) Dr Maholtra and the entire staff of Enhanced Image Center were all wonderful! Kind, welcoming and extremely helpful. A big thank you to them all! Roseann, Dr Maholtra's assistant, was extremely attentive, and kept in touch with me during my recovery, and was easily reachable any time of the day, via text or voice to answer or find the answer to any questions or concerns I had, and is such an amazing, beautiful, caring lady. Dr Maholtra was extremely professional, has an awesome bedside manner, listens and explains things throughly and is a master at what she's does. I will definitely be returning in the future if I feel that I need to correct something that is bothering me cosmetically!
I received an email from Dr. Maholtra's office saying they were going to have an informational evening to learn more about a procedure called facetite. I was not able to attend but Lori offered me a private appointment to learn more about the procedure. RoseAnn brought me into her office and explained the procedure to me. For the amount of money the facetite was going to be and it was only going to last a couple of years, Roseann told me about the look natural lift. She felt that it was a better option for me. Then Dr. Maholtra came in and explained to me the whole procedure. I left with a wealth of information and was very excited to tell my husband about it. He asked me if he could go with me to learn more about it and meet the Doctor so I called Roseann and she said we could absolutely come in and have it explained to him. Roseann is like my new best friend now. She spent a long time with us as well as Dr. Maholtra came in and explained everything once again. We had to have been there over an hour. I could not have felt more comfortable in the office. The next day I called Roseann and scheduled my procedure for Monday, June 17. From start to finish I had a wonderful experience albeit I was very nervous to say the least. All my nerves were squashed when I met Amy (Dr. Maholtra's surgical assistant) and then when Doctor came in to put me at ease. I was given a nice cocktail of drugs to relax me and the next thing I know I was getting into my husband's car to go home. I won't lie and say it was an easy day for me but after the first day I felt fabulous. I still am wearing my headgear and am very swollen but I cannot wait to see the end results. I have nothing but wonderful things to say about this whole experience. Updated on 22 Aug 2019: feeling great after 2 months post op. I really am very pleased with my results. The side of my face is still numb but I am getting feeling back day by day. Dr. Maholtra said this is all normal. I am very itchy behind my ears but that is from the healing process.
