I have no one to recommend a doc to me and would like to plump my lips with juvederm. The most I can do is read reviews online, but these reviews could have been written by ANYONE ... including the place being reviewed. I have found a doctor that touts being a "Platinum Injector" ... which sounds like he has done the procedure a lot and that I should be at ease that this fact should state his expertise. Also, he is doing a special of $375. Is this a red flag?

Answer: Is being a platinum injector enough to choose a physician? There are other reasons to pick a doctor to inject your fillers other than how much they do it. You should have someone treat you by asking what your desires are and not force upon you what they think they should do to your face. You should have a mirror to look at your face before the treatment to point out your dislikes and then view the results as they evolve. Remember, you can always add more at another visit but if too much is put in, it may not be readily removed.

Answer: Platinum Injector is Based on Volume A Platinum Provider for Allergan is a status based on the number of Allergan products ordered per year (Botox, Juvederm, Prevage, Vivite, etc.). It is generally a sign of a higher volume practice but obviously not a guarantee of quality. I would still ask to see pictures of results and follow your gut feeling about the Doctor. $375 for a syringe of Juvederm is really cheap! Cosmetic practics are getting busier in 2010 and you are unlikely to see these prices for long.
