Physician confidence in fillers and neurotoxins: a national survey.

摘要

Reservations regarding the use of neurotoxins and facial fillers inevitably arise for both patients and physicians. Patients look to their physicians for reassurance and guidance regarding the safety and efficacy of various materials. Nothing speaks louder than trusting a procedure performed on ourselves. We decided to explore and probe further into the use and ultimately the trust we have in these products. Pursuing the most transparent method possible, we distributed an anonymous survey to reveal whether aesthetic surgeons as a group take our own advice by using these products. Specifically, which inject-able products do we prefer and have enough confidence in enough to use on ourselves? This information would likely provide some insight into our clinical practices and further convey our industry's confidence in and commitment to these types of products.
