Best Doctor for Dermal Fillers?

KGB
Is it better to go to a Dermatologist or a Plastic Surgeon for things like Restylane and other fillers?I am particularly interested in Nasolabial folds without a nerve block, because I recently had a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon hit a nerve during a dental block with severe complications.Would a dermatologist have more understanding of facial nerves? Just curious as to how to find the best doctor. Thank you!
