The injector drew Juvederm from a vile instead of a syringe and charged me much less than normal. What I given a fake?

About a week and half ago, I received Juvederm, or what I thought was Juviderm, injections in my upper lip at a local med spa. A few days later, I noticed that my left lip had a wrinkled appearance. Concerned, I did some research and learned that Juvederm comes prepackaged in a syringe. However, the doctor who did my injections drew the substance from a vile. In addition, he only charged me $150.00, which I thought was very low. Is it possible that I was given something other than Juvederm?
