Should you go to an ophthalmologist for injectables?- Dr. Ana Carolina Victoria

Should you go to an #ophthalmologist to administer your #cosmetic #injectables? Heres a fun fact: Ophthalmologist, Dr. Alan Brown Scott initially developed botulinum type A neurotoxin (botulinum toxin) to treat #strabismus and was named Oculinum™ ("eye aligner"). The discovery of its cosmetic use happened serendipitously during its initial application as an ophthalmic treatment. Dr. Ana Carolina Victoria shares with iDocSocial that ophthalmologists have extensive knowledge of the anatomy and physiology of the eye👀 and surrounding areas. Some ophthalmologists specialize in oculoplastics, which focuses on cosmetic and reconstructive surgery of the eyelids, tear ducts, and orbit (the area around the eye). So bottom line, you should absolutely trust an ophthalmologist for your cosmetic injections💉 but as always make sure any health care provider has specific training and experience in cosmetic injections.
