The most important decision you will make when considering a lip enhancement procedure is who will perform your procedure.
Always check a provider’s credentials before agreeing to treatment. Choosing a Florida Licensed Physicians or Mid-Level Provider (Physician Assistant or Nurse Practitioner) with proper training & certification to perform Cosmetic Dermal Filler Injections is a good place to start.
Ask the following questions:
- How many years’ experience does the provider have in performing this specific treatment and with the product they are using?
- How often does the provider treat patients for this procedure?
- Will you show me before-and-after photos of other patients you’ve treated?
- What do you need to know about my medical history before treatment?
- What are the possible side effects of treatment?
- How many injections will I need for optimum results?
- How long will my results last?
Review the manufacturers’ website to see if the provider is listed on the FIND A SPECIALIST page, and are they offering the rewards programs offered by the manufacturer.
Unfortunately, there are unscrupulous providers illegally importing or purchasing products that are not FDA Approved. These products can be purchased much cheaper, and these providers may offer treatments at very low prices. These illegal products jeopardize patient safety, and this practice is a criminal offense. All providers should be able to show you a Pedigree for the products purchased. This Pedigree shows the origin of the product. We have our Pedigrees available to our clients for review upon request.
