Dermatologists Vs Plastic Surgeons for Fillers?

July 6, 2009
Asked By:chitwn in Chicago

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.
