Should I Go See a Plastic Surgeon or a Dermatologist for my Botox Injection?

You can see either a dermatologist or a plastic surgeon. What is most important is the level of experience the physician has with the product.  This will allow you to achieve the best and most natural looking results, and to avoid any complications.  You could also consider going to see a doctor who is a trainer for Botox (ie teaches other doctors how to inject).  I am a trainer in Beverly Hills if you are interested

You should go to the most experienced Botox injector for your treatment, whether it's a plastic surgeon or a dermatologist. Both types of physicians typically have a vast experience with the product and know how much and where to inject. As long as your doctor is board certified, you should be in good hands.

Hi Ms. Shizuka.  Ultimately, it does not matter which specialty you choose as long as you are happy with the results.  We always say training not title when we are speaking with consumers about how to choose a practitioner.  Any good injector, plastic or derm, will have spent the time to understand facial musculature well and have also spent the time learning and perfecting sound injection techniques.

Find a physician that you are comfortable with, preferably one you are referred to by a friend or relative.  Good luck.
