I went to see my plastic surgeon to have Juvederm added to my Rhinoplasty surgery in two weeks. I have already gotten Juvederm about a month and a half ago and its holding up well, so I just wanted a little bit to correct some very mild unevenness. He saw what I did and approved this but didn't specify the amount of Juvederm. However, the change is minimal and having had it done before I knew one vial was going to be enough.
When I went over to the financial lady she quoted me for two vials, when I asked her to double check she said they can only be purchased in 2's because thats how they're packaged. Has anyone every heard of this? Why would the packaging matter if each vial is sterile?
Normally I'd think they're just trying to rip me off but this the chair of PS at university hospitals - A very large and well known hospital in the area so I have a hard time believing it. The doctor is always busy so I didnt want to argue and just paid it but now I'm thinking I shouldnt have given up $550 so easily.
It's true. Juvederm is sold by the manufacturer (Allergan) only in boxes of 2 syringes. But, many surgeons/derm/etc will sell the syringes individually. As you said, they are packaged separately in a sterile fashion within the box. The confusion may have been in the amount that you thought you needed and how much your surgeon thought you needed. I would definitely call back to check on it. If you only need one syringe and you have to buy two, then they should be able to hold the other syringe for you until you need it again in 9 months to a year. Give them a call.
