What Questions Should You Ask Your Medical Provider?
Before having Botox®, dermal filler, or PDO threads to deal with wrinkles, pain, or other symptoms, make sure you have all of the information you need to make the right choice. You also need to ensure that your provider knows your medical history before giving you an injection. Before your treatment, be sure to ask your physician:
- Do they have medical experience in facial anatomy? If you choose an AAFE certified medical provider, you can be confident that they have the right training.
- How many years of experience does the provider have specific to Botox®, dermal filler, PDO threads, or other cosmetic injections?
- How many patients do they treat with Botox®, dermal filler, or PDO thread each week, month, or year?
- Are there any expected side effects to treatment? Botox® (botulinum toxin), dermal filler, and PDO thread treatments are considered relatively mild and safe treatments, but like all medical treatments, they carry potential side effects you need to know.
- Can you see before-and-after pictures of patients they have seen?
- Will you need a follow-up visit after your treatment?
- Does the provider have specific training in facial muscles?
In addition, be sure to discuss the following with your provider:
- Tell your provider about all medications you take. If you are taking medication, supplements, herbal products, or prescriptions, or if you have had a botulinum toxin product treatment in the past four months, discuss this with your provider.
- Tell your provider about any medical conditions you have. Muscle and nerve conditions, like ALS or Lou Gehrig’s disease, are particularly important when considering an injection-based treatment.
- Tell your provider if you have had facial surgery or have facial surgery planned in the future.
- Discuss any allergies or adverse reactions to these injections that you have experienced in the past.
Important Topics for Women
Women who are considering Botox® or other injections or fillers need to ask specifically about pregnancy or nursing. If you are pregnant, are planning to become pregnant, or are nursing a baby, your provider needs to know before you have treatment.
Important Topics for Men
Men who are considering Botox® injections, dermal filler, or PDO threads need to understand that their denser, bulkier muscles, even in the face, requires the use of more product. Before undergoing Botox® injection, dermal filler, or PDO threads men should discuss this with their providers, so they understand what to expect out of treatment.
Men often have different goals than women for their Botox®, dermal filler, or PDO thread treatment. When discussing treatment with a medical professional, it is important to discuss not only potential side effects and what to expect, but also what your goals are. Look at before-and-after pictures to ensure the physician seems to understand your goals and how you can reach them.
