Q. Although almost every plastic surgeon performs injections, I believe that final outcome can vary significantly depending on chosen surgeon. That may be especially the case, since I’m relatively young (in my mid-20s and male) and main problem lies in eyes; tear- trough and cheekbone area. Should I take into account certification? Does it matter whether one is ophthalmic reconstructive surgeon or general plastic face-focused surgeon? Should I ask about techniques, like what and where is it injected?
A. This is a very astute question. Thank you!
As with any medical service, there is art and science to the nature of the results.
Each product, whether it is:
· a muscle relaxer (eg. Botox, Dysport),
· filler (eg. Restylane family, Juvederm family, Sculptra, Radiesse or other),
· laser and skin texture modifier
provide distinctive nuances in their placement and use.
Each patient is distinctive as well:
· gender
· age / aging
· primary concerns
· structural or anatomic differences, etc
· holistic or full face changes with each or combo therapy
· sensitivities, presentation, short and longer term expectations
Each “injector” comes from:
· different perspectives,
· skills,
· talents and
· breadth of experiences.
Of course it matters who performs the injectable! He or she must present the confidence and understanding of the anatomy and physiology over the options, combinations, layering, projection, fill, lift and a permutation of understanding of how each product will perform for YOU.
Review their Before/After photos. Check the breadth of products and services they provide. Who will perform the procedure? What is their Specialty background and how many years injecting…
Choose your injector(s) carefully from well experienced, Board Certified Injectors including Plastic Surgeons, ENT Facial Surgeons and Dermatologist.
I hope this is helpful! I wish you the best! What should I take into account when choosing injection surgeon?
