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: 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.

Answer: Getting facial filler from a Family Medicine doctor You will find that physicians from many specialties performing facial filler and botox injections. It really does come down to training and experience, though. When it comes to the face you want someone performing your facial filler treatment who has extensive experience with the procedure along with the training and knowledge of the facial anatomy. Physicians board certified in core specialties (such as facial plastic surgery, plastic surgery and dermatology) typically have extensive training in this type of treatment. Separate from this is the doctor's aesthetic eye and judgment. You can learn more about facial filler treatment at my web reference link below.
