What Kind of Surgeon Specializes in Face and Fillers?

  Naturally, you will get different answers on this forum.  The general plastic surgeons scream the loudest and the longest that only they should do everything, just as they are the experts in everything.  But the truth is that that the facial plastic surgeons and the oculoplastic facial surgeons, in general, have FAR more experience in the things you are seeking, generally speaking.

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan. It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Hello cream makerIt has to do more with the level experience of the surgeon, the more often a procedure is carried out by a surgeon the better at it he s, i would advice you go for a board certified plastic surgeon.

Far more important than the technique is the skill and experience of your plastic surgeon. Choose your surgeon rather than the technique and let them explain why one technique may be better than another.  See the below link on some suggestions on finding the most qualified Plastic Surgeon for you.  Always insist on a board certified plastic surgeon.

Choosing a plastic surgeon who performs fillers is not difficult. Trust a board certified specialist in your area. Raffy Karamanoukian MD FACSLos Angeles, CA

Typically facial plastic surgeons, dermatologists and certain general plastic surgeons who perform a lot of facial procedures are qualified for the services you ask about. Facial plastic surgeons spend 6 years training on all facial procedures. This includes cosmetic, reconstructive, and trauma surgeries. We also are experts in the facial nerve. Facial plastic surgeons do not operate on the hand or the body as general plastic surgeons do. My advice would be to visit with a reputable board certified surgeon who is experiences in the treatments you desire. Good luck.

It is important to assure good result by having your procedure done by a board certified plastic surgeon with experience in facial surgery.

Your surgeon should have passion and artistic eyes in order to give you the most natural looking results.

In general, a facial plastic surgeon specializes in cosmetic surgery of the face and most likely fillers as well.  There would also be some general plastic surgeons that would perform cosmetic surgery on the face as well as possibly doing fillers.  It is possible that some facial plastic surgeons and general plastic surgeons would not perform filler treatments however, so you should check first.  Depending on the type of facial reconstruction surgery, there may be some facial plastic surgeons and general plastic surgeons that perform those as well.  

The motto of the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons is "Trust your face to a facial plastic surgeon." Facial Plastic Surgeons specialize in plastic surgery in the head and neck region after completing training in head and neck surgery. 

You will be best served by either a Plastic Surgeon (who specializes in face work) or a Facial Plastic Surgeon.  Almost all of these physicians perform fillers injections along with cosmetic surgeries.  You should ask if the doctor in question does reconstructive surgeries.  Choose a doctor that is board certified, and be sure to ask about his/her experience in your area of need.  Don't hesitate to seek consultation with more than one doctor to get a variety of opinions.  Best wishes.
