Hi, thanks for your question. The date of expiration refers to the deadline by which the filler should be injected, it does not mean that the filler will go bad once injected. As long as it is injected before the expiration date you have nothing to worry about. Please speak to your provider about any concerns that you might have.

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

The expiration date applies only to the date by which the product should be injected.  It does not apply to product once it has been injected. As long as you receive the filler treatment by the expiration date you should be fine.

Thank you for sharing your question.  In simple terms, no the filler will not go bad the day after expiration, it is just advised that it is used before that deadline.

Dear Chrisannbe,
you should be safe as long as the filler is used prior to expiration date.
