Juvederm: how long does it last in the syringe until you can't use it again? Still 0.2 left.

Question

Hello, I have done lip injections with juvederm smile. I got 0,35 injected and I have 0,2 still left in the sirenge. I got only a little bit, because this was the first time and I was too worried... sIlly me.... How long can I wait until I have to get the last 0,2. I am traveling and then my doctor is traveling. That's why the question about the time. Thank u very much. Regards

Thank you for sharing your excellent question.  It is recommended that all of the filler material is used at the time of initial treatment but many practices will maintain leftover filler for 30, 60, or 90 days after opening.  You will have to reach out to your injector's office to know what policy they maintain.  Hope this helps.

Fillers should be used immediately. I don't ever recommend storing unused filler to be used later on a patient. There is no way to make certain that the filler remains sterile. Hope this helps.

This is an excellent question.  I personally do not recommend storing unused fillers for later use - once the syringe has been opened, there is no way to ensure that the filler will remain sterile in storage.  Also, it's important to remember that 0.2cc is a very small amount of product (about 1/25 of a teaspoon), and can easily be used in another area of the face if needed.  Some injectors do save unused fillers for a few weeks - you may need to contact your injector to ask how long they plan to store your product.  I hope this helps!

according to the manufacturers,  fillers should be used immediately..0.2 milliliters of a filler is such a small amount that one can always find a place where it can be used without any trouble at all.good luck from New York City
