I have a large bump on my nose bridge and after...

I have a large bump on my nose bridge and after seeing the before and after photos I decided to get it flattened by juviderm injections. I was charged $500 for the vial and was later informed that we only used about half. my nose looked flatter but the net day I realized that there was still a noticable bump. because the doctor said come back if i am no 100% happy i figured that they could inject a bit more. a few days later I went in again and just as the doctor was about to inject the juviderm she informed me it would be another $500. I was never told that the rest of my juviderm that I paid for was being thrown away and that I would have to pay for the entire vial when we only needed a tiny bit more. after arguing that I had no idea the doctor began to say that I should have known that... how am I suppose to know that!? I am 18 and this is my first time doing anything like this. and now I have had two $500 injections and am still not pleased with the result. shouldn't the doctor have told me about this? or can juviderm be saved??

Great review?

Yes you sure can save Juverderm for future use! I have used half a vial and gone back again to have the rest used up. ..I think you have to go back within a month or so.

There seems to be some debate on whether or not filler that is left over should be saved for a later date or not. Here are some Q&A's that you might find interesting:

Reuse Juvederm Syringe for Future Injections?

Risks of Using a Stored Syringe of Juvederm?

Should my Left over Juvederm Have Been Discarded?

Either way, I can understand why you wish you would have known sooner than right before the injections so you could have thought about what you wanted to do.
