Every country is different. Every state in the US is different. Basically, you want to know- who’s injecting Botox/ Dysport/ Juvederm/ other stuff into you?
The answer is not so easy. As a plastic surgeon, yes, I personally inject my patients. There is no other person, such as a nurse, responsible in my office- I’m doing it myself. In many offices, you may be injected by ancillary health personnel- nurses, PA/ Physician Assistants, RNFA/ Registered Nurse First Assistants, or a combo of the above. Alot of non-Plastic Surgeons also inject Botox/ Dysport/ Juvederm- dentists, family practice docs, OB/ GYN’s, etc.
I’m sure they do a fine job. If you want to save money, then someone who has a not a plastic surgeon will probably be, in general, a little cheaper than me. The biggest reasons I charge more than other people is because of my training, my pedigree, and my customer service. I know alot about facial anatomy, including non-surgical and surgical procedures to help you get the result you want. I know a couple of tricks to reduce the pain and time in my office for your injection. Finally, I know how to avoid complications, including the dreaded “droopy eyelid.” I actually know how to reserve a little too much Botox or Juvederm injected into an area non-surgically and quickly.
So, part of doing a procedure as a doctor is to know the anatomy intimately, know how to do a procedure, have experience in the procedure, and know how to reduce complications and get out of complications. In the tiny realm of just Botox, I’m personally a little skeptical that the average injector knows all of the tricks up my sleeve, which you’ll learn by reading this blog.
