What is the Risk of Disease Transmission when Sharing a Syringe but Switching Needle?

I just recently had 1 syringe of juvederm ultra plus injected into my upper lip for fullness by an RN. Upon using the first syringe she said that I really needed another syringe worth to achieve the desired effect. My best friend came with me and she only used half of her syringe. The Lady who did the injections said I could use the remainder of her syringe but she would switch the needles. Is there a high risk of blood related transmitted diseases by doing this.? It was a very poor decision.

A: Sharing Lip Augmentation

The answer is absolutely NEVER share syringes even if the needle is changed.  This is a cosmetic procedure in which you are trying to improve your appearance, why would you risk anything to cause a major problem to arise.  The nurse who suggested this to you has medical ethics that should be questioned and in many physicians opinion reported.  Your safety and health ALWAYS comes first.

Would You Recommend Juvederm for my Lips?

I would like my lips to be plumper and have a bit of a pout. They're quite thin (even after using lip liner - as in pics) and the upper lip especially has a very flat look between my nose and lips. Since I have a slight overbite do you think the filler would make my lips look very fake and ducklike? I want it to look natural and subtle. How much do you think I would need and where would I have it injected for the most benefit? Also would you recommend that I get it in my philtral columns?

A: No to Duck Lips

The usual cause of injected "duck lips" is too much filler along the vermillion white -red lip junction and not enough filler in the wet red lip  and ignoring filler into the lower lip.  A balanced lip has the lower lip fuller than the upper lip.  Juvaderm works well.  For those seeking permenant augmentation soft silicone lip implants can look and feel quite natural.
