Who should do botox injections, a plastic surgeon or dermatologist?

Botox injections may be done by dermatologists but may also be done by plastic surgeons.





Dermatologists specializes on skin problems while plastic surgeons deal with operations dealing with aesthetic figures.





A plastic surgeon would be better for doin the operation due to the fact the he has an idea of the internal anatomy of the body - not just the skin. He also has ideas on what the specific treatment he has done to you or what could happen after doing this thing on you. So if you are looking for cosmetic retouching (ex. facelifts, implants, etc.) a plastic surgeon does the job.Who should do botox injections, a plastic surgeon or dermatologist?
My preference would be for the surgeon -- his or her training probably better covers the nerve and muscle anatomy (although all MDs cover this in training). That said, what is most important is that any MD doing this procedure hs ample training and experience with that procedure.
Either one as long as they have a lot of experience
