Most doctors do their own injections

Mary Lupo, MD answers: Safe to have nurse inject Restylane?

I am looking for a doctor that does fillers such as Restylane, however I am finding that most places have nurses who perform this procedure. Is that safe or should I insist on a plastic surgeon to do the procedure?

Plastic surgeons delegate injections to registered nurses while they are doing more complex procedures in the OR. If you do not like that idea, find a dermatologist or plastic surgeon who does their own injections. There are plenty out there, I assure you. Keep looking.
