Can I trust a PA for restylane injections?

September 4, 2016
Asked By:tinyandbold in Los Angeles, CA

I have heard recently that it is risky to have a PA do injections. But the two top rated plastic surgeons in my area have a physicians assistant doing the injections and they make it seem as if that is common practice. Please tell me if I can trust a recommended PA or if I should only seek out a plastic surgeon. Thanks!!!!
