Do Doctors and Nurse Injectors do their own Dermal Fillers?

Many of the funny looking ones do.  It is amazing to me how many injectors inject themselves.  My best advice to you is that whether they inject themselves or each other, or whatever, if they look frighteningly alien with lips and cheeks and frozen facial expression, then choose another injector.  There is a sense of natural artistic vision missing and you don't want that to spread to your one and only face.  As with any aesthetic procedure, it is essential to choose your treating physician based on their skill, experience, knowledge, caring nature, and most importantly sense of natural artistic vision.Make sure that your sense of natural beauty matches that of your chosen injecting physician , preferably one who studied under the principles of Leonardo da Vince rather than those of Pablo Picasso.  Good luck and be well.Michael Persky, MDEncino, CA

There are many odd looking injectors. Some inject themself (bad idea) and some are injected by others. Regardless, would you really trust a physician injector who looks odd or overdone? If they can't express an appropriate sense of aesthetics in their own face, can they really be trusted with yours? It can be a process to find an injector that you trust but when you do, you should stick with them. Stephen Weber MD, FACSDenver Facial Plastic Surgeon

It is extremely important to find a cosmetic dermatologist or plastic surgeon who does their own injections and is experienced.  If a complication were to occur they are trained in anatomy and complications.  I find they are much better at facial contouring and assessments.  In my practice I perform all these injections myself and do not delegate to ancillary staff.
