1- Do Your Research

Now, it is very crucial to have your injectables performed by PLASTIC SURGEONS, NOT MEDICAL AESTHETICIANS. Now, let me explain a few details. There is actually no such thing that exists as a medical aesthetician. But, patients think this is real… A medical aesthetician is actually a practioner. This means, a medical aesthetician has actually not have recieved the complete training for aesthetics. A medical aesthetician cannot perform a surgery in the operating theatre as they are not licensed, so in order to find themselves a field to perform treatments, they created a term called ‘Medical Aesthetics’. After recieving a very short training, surgeons who cannot complete full plastic surgery training, ends up becoming a medical aesthetician. On the other hand, a plastic surgeon can operate patients and apply injectables to patients. Please do your research and visit a plastic surgeon who has been verified to perform treatments on patients and who has compled their training in the aesthetics field.

2- The Brand

For botox, we prefer Allergan brand, this is very very common as there are not many different types of brands in the market. However, when it comes to dermal fillers, there are many different brands out there. Please ask you plastic surgeon which brand they use for fillers. We prefer Juvederm for facial fillers, for under eyes, we prefer Teosyal.

3- Be Realistic

Of course you should keep your expectations real, we cannot expect a facelift result through non invasive injectable treatments. The treatment is limited to your anatomy, skin laxity and quality etc.

4-Your Doctor Should Plan This Not You

Of course you will have an image in mind about your wishes, however your plastic surgeon is the person who should decide what needs to be done here in order to end up with succesful results. Plastic surgeons have an eye for detail and they can see what you cannot notice. So, leave it to the professional… The surgeon will surely listen to your desires and wishes but you should listen to his/her suggestions as well. After all, plastic surgeons know anatomy better than what we learn from Google. ?

5- What Are Your Desires?

Study your goals! Do you want to look slimmer? More defined? More symmetric? Younger? Or fresher? It is not wise to request 2 mls of fillers for your cheekbones from your surgeon, you cannot be that specific, but you can tell him or her what kind of a figure you want to achieve, that’s why ask his/her comments about your wishes before proceeding.
