Tips on how to choose an injector
September 11, 2024Categories: Plastic Surgery and Medical Spa Health
So, you want injectables but don’t know where to go, how to start your search, or what to look for? Perhaps you have some stubborn lines you want softened or volume added to certain areas. Here are some recommendations that might point you in the right direction.
Experience and training count
- Consult with a provider who can evaluate and discuss all the various options with you.
- Your provider should have the experience and training to know which options will best support your goals while promoting safe practices.
- Choose a practice where injectors work under the supervision of plastic surgeons. This offers the highest level of expertise if any complications arise with treatment.
- Ask about the product lines the practice uses. Which ones best support your needs and why?
- What other skin services are available? A complete plan that includes medical spa treatments and medical grade skincare maximizes patient results.
- Your provider should explain all the risks and benefits of injectables to give you a full understanding of outcomes that you can expect and the recovery process.
Significantly reduce injectable risks by selecting an experienced provider
- If you’ve been injected and haven’t liked your results, it’s important to go back to your original provider and let them know. Incorrect muscle paralysis can cause sag in the wrong place.
- Risks from injectable fillers include overtreating certain areas, filler “migrating” to unwanted areas when improperly injected, and serious complications if injected into an artery.
Don't do last-minute injectables right before a special occasion
Are you having a big event and haven't been injected before? Don't do it!
Always make sure you've given yourself adequate time for healing and to ensure you are happy with the results.
