Injectable Fillers: Q&A

Dermatologists Vs Plastic Surgeons for Fillers?
I haven't had anything done and I'm now considering a filler. I received mixed reviews on which route to take, as a close friend that works in the pharma industry and represents one of top fillers on the market.
I was told that plastic surgeons tend to overdo it, as they are accustomed to working with patients that are addicted and get "too much work done."
My gut tells me that a top plastic surgeon would be the best path, but I'm hearing great reviews about dermatologists that have extensive experience with injections. Feedback about pros/cons (outside of price) would be appreciated. Thank you.

Do your research. I agree with the other two posts.

Ask to see photos of people that have had the procedure or even talk with people who have had it done. Ask questions to the doctors and see what their responses are. No good physician should be offended by you asking how many they have done, examine photos, talk with other patients, ask about potential risks and...
