I am a 22-year-old and I want Restylane to fix my under eye hollows. I have contacted several doctors and found out this procedure can be done by a plastic surgeon, a dermatologist or a nurse. Now I am stuck since I do not know where to go! Since I am a college student I cannot afford consultations with several doctors. Furthermore, I know of nobody who can refer to a good doctor since none of my acquaintances have had such procedures. I would like input to know which type of doctor (or nurse) I should choose.

Answer: Fillers for under eye hollows
I would recommend you see a board certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist. When you contact the office for an appointment, make sure the doctor does inject this area. Not all injectors do. It is beneficial to have a physician treat you who is very experienced in filling this area below the eyes. The plane of injection, the product chosen and the knowledge of anatomy is important. Good luck.

Answer: Qualified Restylane injector
I am not sure what the regulations are in Quebec, but in the states any doctor or a nurse under a doctor's supervision can do it, though this varies from state to state. The under-eye area is somewhat of an advanced technique so you do want to be sure that whoever does it is experienced. Whether a plastic surgeon or dermatologist, they should have aesthetic procedures as a primary part of their practice. don't be afraid to ask about this before you see them in consultation.
