If my Doctor Saves my Leftover Juvederm Vial, Do I Have to Pay for my Next Injection?

Hi JoJo,
If you pay for a syringe of filler, and it is not all used, I agree that you should not be recharged for the remainder at your next visit.  Good luck in the future and be well.

Generally, you won't have to pay for your next injection if the leftover syringe is used. However, it may be different where you are. Before you have another treatment, it would be prudent to ask about their policy first.

This is a difficult question to answer without knowing why you did not receive the full treatment/product at the first appointment.  We do not allow patients to "store" their unused product for another visit for a couple of reasons.  First, there are concerns as to how long the product should be stored without compromising the sterility and quality.  This then puts the responsibility on the practice to properly store and keep track of the product.  If a patient returns to use whatever remains, they are receiving a second treatment.  It's the service and skill of injecting the product that should have a monetary value. 

For these reasons and more, we do not offer to hold unused products for a future date or treatment.  However, the exception to this is if and when a patient is experiencing bruising during the initial treatment.  A mutual decision is then reached to finish the treatment once the swelling/bruising has dimnished or resolved.  These situations are few and far in between.  Regardless, patient satisfaction is always a priority.  Being that it appears that you were not informed of the separate charges or had a clear understanding of the policy, it is not good business practice to not waive the fee.  Most importantly, you should discuss this with the practice if you have not done so already.
