Half Syringes of Filler for Sale? Safe?

Once the seal on the syringe is broken, sterility is no longer assured.  "Splitting a syringe before using it" is another bad practice.  There is no practical way to do this and maintain an appropriate level of sterility.  For this reason, the Medicis and Allergan do make smaller syringes although most patients need a full milliliter or more of filler.  Ask yourself, in 6 months, when you do back for the other half of that syringe, how likely is it that you will get your syringe and not Mrs Jones syringe?  Unless your doctor is running a certified tissue bank, it is very improbable that have secure procedures to avoid this type of accident.

Lidia, Firstly,  Some fillers come in half syringes so that is what some doctors sell. Secondly, Those that inject a lot of filler often split a syringe before ever using it. They do this under sterile conditions and probably use those syringes up in a day or two. There is no difference in sterility than when we add lidocaine to a syringe of filler. The syringe was never used by or in room with another patient. The needles on these syringes are often smaller and the pressure of injection less causing less inflammation and bruising. Splitting syringes allows those doctors to taylor a patients product use to exactly what they need. If a doctor does this they probably are a very experienced injector. This is not the same as saving leftovers which is probably OK for a few weeks if done correctly and the patients name is written on the syringe while they watch.
