Not all injectors are equal.
A Board Certified Plastic Surgeon is highly trained in facial anatomy including nerves and arteries. Dr. Barlow knows that injections in certain places can create a brow lifting effect while injecting the entire forehead can cause a severe droop over the eyelids.
There are so many nuances involved in facial structure and that is why we receive more and more calls inquiring whether or not it is a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon performing the injections! We love to say “YES,” it is Dr. Barlow who will personally administer your injectables.
“It is neither cost nor time effective for me to personally inject my patients because plastic surgeons make more money in the O.R.,” says Dr. Barlow. “However, I see it as an investment in my relationship with my patients. I've always believed that it is only when we are obedient in even the smallest of things that we are trusted with the greatest.”
Many plastic surgeons have stopped offering injectables altogether or delegate it to a staff member. Our patients put their trust in us and we will not send them down the street to some other doctor, or worse, a nail salon. We will continue to offer injectables because we care about our patients and their safety, and we enjoy seeing them again and again!
