Does Juvederm Ultra come in .55cc syringe?

Question

I was told that I received a full syringe of Juvederm Ultra at .55cc volume. I'm confused. Is it possible they split a vial or bought it from Canada? Is that bad? To buy from some place other than Allergan.

In the United States, Juvederm Ultra comes in 1cc, 0.8cc, and 0.4cc syringes. Hope this helps! Good Luck

No. Juvederm comes in a .8 (this is the old, original size, but there are some syringe still out there...), a 1.0 (this is the common size and what would be considered a "full syringe" now), and a .4 (this is a half-size of the original listed size and is the only "small size syringe" sold in the U.S.). So, it's possible it was split (which is TERRIBLE), or it was from somewhere else. It's illegal to import products from Canada, so yes, this is not good. But that's on the part of your injector, not you. "This answer has been solicited without seeing this patient and cannot
