​Who is the right facial plastic provider for me?

With review and feedback from CEENTA Facial Plastic Specialist Neela Rao, MD (Fort Mill)

Deciding you want facial plastic care is a great first step in getting the look you deserve, but it’s not the only one. Just as important is finding the right doctor to work with. Who, exactly, should that be?

Find someone who knows how to treat the face

Many options for facial plastic services abound, but if you want to make sure you’re getting the best care possible, you should find a licensed and board-certified medical doctor who specializes in facial plastic treatment. That way, you know you are getting care from someone who has met all training and credentialing standards and can perform your procedures safely. All the facial plastic providers at CEENTA are licensed eye and ENT physicians, so you’ll know you’re getting the best care from experts in their fields.

Check their website and reviews

A provider’s website provides of snapshot of his or her credibility and aesthetic style. Oftentimes, providers may have a gallery of before and after photos, patient testimonials or reviews from other patients.

Meet your doctor

Now that you’ve chosen a doctor, the next step is to meet them and see how comfortable you are with them. CEENTA Facial Plastic Specialist Neela Rao, MD, said there are a few questions you’ll want answers to: Does your doctor establish a sense of trust? Do they discuss your aesthetic goals realistically? Do they answer your questions? Do they and their staff represent an aesthetic you like? This is your opportunity to get to know your provider and see if you are a good fit. Once you’ve established that trust, you can go to the next step.

Computer imaging assistance

Modern technology can help you visualize changes you may be seeking. Digital morphing of photos can facilitate a conversation between you and your provider about your aesthetic goals and what is medically possible. This way, you can go into your treatment with realistic expectations.
