Nurse injectors - Botox and Juvaderm. Should I proceed?

Although I'm a plastic surgeon, I have both a nurse-injector, and, a doctor-injector.  Both of these individuals spend all their time doing injectables.  They are EXCELLENT at it.  So in my office the options are:  nurse, MD, or Plastic Surgeon.  I think the most important thing to ask is whether this nurse does injectables on a regular basis (ie at least every week), or is she doing it only once in a while to fill in for the plastic surgeon.  If its the former, then I'd go ahead.  If its the latter, I'd say 'no thanks' !

Thank you for your question. The choice is entirely up to you. Nurse injectors can be just as skillful as anyone else. Consider a consultation with the nurse first to meet him/ her and ensure you feel comfortable. Best,

Although I have seen many instances of good results with Nurse injectors, I still do all of my fillers and Botox injections myself.  I think that a physicians knowledge of the anatomy and physiology can make the difference in a difficult case, or make a potentially good result great.
