I am looking for a doctor that does fillers such as Restylane, however I am finding that most places have nurses who perform this procedure. Is that safe or should I insist on a plastic surgeon to do the procedure?

Answer: I do my own injections but many nurses are qualified While many surgeons do their own injections of botulinum toxins and filler products, there are many very experienced nurse injectors. Laws vary by the state on who is qualified to inject these products. The requirements for supervision also vary.

Answer: More on nurse injectors for dermal fillers As you can see there is a range of opinions on the subject of whether a nurse or a physician should do Restylane injections, and no single correct answer. If you go to a clinic where the nurse injectors specialize in that, then they may very well be more experienced than the supervising physician, and other MD's for that matter. It should always be clear who the delegating physician is, and what their qualifications are.
