Pick based on qualifications, not price

D.J. Verret, MD answers: Who should I see for injectable fillers?

I'm a healthy and active 35 year old female with under eye hollows and puffiness. I'm apprehensive about surgery, so I'm considering either Juvederm or Restylane injections. In order to get the best results, should I see a plastic surgeon or a dermatologist?

As everyone mentioned, there are many different good injectors. The most important thing is to pick someone based on qualifications, not price. Injection in the area around the eyes does require more technique than some other areas such as the nasolabial folds. The nice thing about restylane or juvederm is that if you don't like the results, you can always have it dissolved with hyaluronidase.

I think that the most important thing is the skill and eye of the person injecting.  I am a plastic surgeon, so I would recommend a plastic surgeon.  I would also recommend that you have the surgeon himself (or herself) do the injecting rather than a physician extender.
