How did you choose your filler clinic?!!

I’ve decided to get fillers, but choosing a clinic is much harder than I thought. When I search online, everyone claims to be good, and the before-and-after photos all look so pretty, which actually makes me more confused. I’m not sure if they are advertisements or genuine reviews, and the reviews on Instagram and blogs are full of nothing but good things, so I’m feeling even more anxious. I’m being extremely cautious because I’m afraid I’ll be really upset if I go to just any place and regret it.

I’ve heard that a doctor’s skill is especially crucial when it comes to fillers. I’m even more worried because I’ve heard that even with the same product, the look can be completely different depending on the design, placement, and amount injected. I’m afraid I’ll be really stressed if I just go based on the price and it ends up looking too unnatural or causing asymmetry. It’s especially scary because the face is a part of the body where things show immediately if something goes wrong.

I am also wondering what I absolutely must check during a consultation. I think it is important to see if they use genuine fillers, if they don't over-recommend procedures, and if they explain things in a way that suits my face shape, but since I am a beginner, I don't really know. I have heard that some clinics unconditionally recommend fillers in multiple areas, so I am also wondering if I should avoid those places.

The prices vary so widely. I feel uneasy about places that are too cheap, and burdened by places that are too expensive... I really don't know what the right price is. Since fillers need to be refilled once the duration wears off, I want to choose the right clinic right from the start.

Please share some tips from those of you who actually chose the right filler clinic and were satisfied!! I'm really curious about what criteria you used to select the clinic~~
