The Importance of Injectable Safety
The Importance of Cosmetic Injection Safety
By Patricia Ritter
An estimated 20,000 cosmetic injections are performed each day in the United States. These procedures are generally administered by plastic surgeons, dermatologists, nurse injectionists, or facial plastic surgeons to treat wrinkles and improve facial appearance. These treatments can provide safe, beautiful results when you wisely choose a qualified doctor and an FDA approved injectable. However, consumers should be aware that almost anyone can perform a cosmetic procedure. Because of this, it is necessary and important to research your chosen injector. Don't be afraid to ask questions! Below are some simple guidelines to follow that will ensure your safety before consenting to a cosmetic injectable procedure:
Questions about your Injector
Where did he/she go to medical school or receive their training?
Confirm that she/he is certified and investigation the organization.
Find out about the injector's professional experience by asking about his/her reputation, how many years he/she's been in practice, and whether he/ she has had any medical malpractice suits. Check into state medical board records to discover if there is a history of any complaints, etc.
Find out about the actual experience of the injector and his/her clinical skills. How many injections has he/she performed and over what period of time?
Look at before and after photographs and see if you can talk to present or former patients. However, keep in mind that although before and after photos are generally essential, they unfortunately do not always adequately demonstrate end results of the injectables.
Questions about the Injectable you're interested in:
Ask them about their experience with the various fillers and injectables and approximately how long they have been using them.
Research the injectable(s) you're interested in and make certain they are recommended and approved by the U.S. FDA for cosmetic indications. Also, take a look at the injectable container. Is it appropriately labeled and packaged to reflect its authenticity and approval?
Is the setting a proper medically-equipped office, with safety and sterilization procedures? Has the injector evaluated conditions, recommended treatment, offered alternatives and clearly defined the potential outcomes including any complications?
Again, many different kinds of practitioners can perform cosmetic injectable procedures. You'll commonly find plastic surgeons, dermatologists, and nurse injectionists have the most experience in this field. Just as a tip, you might want to consider having a nurse injectionist perform your treatment. Nurse injectionists are often as experienced and educated as physicians in proper injection technique. Also, since nurse injectionists focus their practice solely on injectable procedures, they have the sheer numbers alone to raise your comfort level.
