I'm very interested in going to get fillers for my chin and I found someone I'm very interested in; however, I'm wondering if it's normal for a family doctor(without any other certification) to be practicing with fillers and botox.

Answer: Any doc can do fillers and botox- just get one with experience and who you feel comfortable with. If you like this doc, then give him/her a chance. The more experience your doc has, the better the results usually. Derm surgeons have by far the most experience in filler and botox. Plastic surgeons don't like doing them or just aren't patient enough to do it right so they let their nurses do it for them as a rule (which is a good thing in that case). ha ha

Answer: Dermal fillers Dear teewin243, it is not illegal for family doctor to inject fillers. However, in order to have good results, he/she should have a good training. I would recommend finding a plastic surgeon to perform your injections. Most of my patients have results that last at least 6 months.
