Can you switch to a new cosmetic doctor in between treatment? Have patients done that?

Question

I am not happy with my cosmetic doctor. I had one appointment done for under eye filler-but I dont see the results and she says that I am too critical of myself and not listening to me-she is always rushed in our appointments and does not take the time with me-Can I switch to another doctor with better reviews and sounds more patient and listens?

Yes you may switch anytime.  You need to have a working trusting and positive relationship with a knowledgeable doctor that seeks your interest

Thank you for your question.  Yes you can and probably should given your feelings toward her.  It is in your and her best interest.  This is very commonly done and will allow you to get a second opinion.  You will likely either find out that someone else was better able to provide the results you were hoping for or your first doctor was correct in their explanation of limitations.  Either way, you will probably feel better afterwards.  All the best!

Stephen Weber MD, FACS · Answer

Absolutely! If you're not happy with the results that your physician provides, the best thing for you (and your doc) is to find another physician injector that you are comfortable with.

Edwin Ishoo, MD · Answer

I'm not sure why you are asking the question since your cosmetic treatments are completely elective and self-pay and you chose your current doctor by just calling and scheduling the appointment. You can change your doctor any time. Just make sure that you choose an experienced, board-certified dermatologist, occuloplastic, facial plastic or general plastic surgeon for the best results.
