Who is Best trained at Administering Fillers, Cosmetic Dermatologists or Plastic Surgeons
my doctor is an eye specialist. I'd really appreciate your help. Thank you.
Dermatologists vs. Plastic Surgeons
Both dermatologists and plastic surgeons are well trained to perform injection of fillers. Be sure that your dermatologist or plastic surgeon is board certified. After that, consider things like experience in injecting, whether they perform the injections themselves, and good communication with your doctor. Be sure to find someone who is willing to take the time to work with you. I hope this helps.
Juvéderm is a family of hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal fillers manufactured by Allergan. Different formulations address different concerns — Voluma for mid-face volume, Vollure for nasolabial folds, and Ultra/Ultra Plus for lips and perioral lines. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the body that attracts and retains moisture, providing both volume and hydration. Results are immediate and typically last 6–18 months depending on the product and treatment area. HA fillers can be dissolved with hyaluronidase if needed.
Selecting a board-certified plastic surgeon who is a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons ensures your surgeon has met the highest professional standards.
