Is It OK to Use Expired Juvederm?

Question

If my juviderm has an expired date that has allready passed but has not been opened. Can it still be used??

Ron Shelton, MD · Answer

There is no reason to use an expired product such as Juvederm or Restylane. You are having an elective cosmetic procedure, why should you use a product that the company won't stand behind any longer? Have your physician use a filler that is not expired.

Joseph A. Eviatar, MD, FACS · Answer

There&rsquo;s an expiration date on Juvederm for a reason. I would never recommend ignoring an expiration date on anything.

Gustavo A. Diaz, MD · Answer

I will not recommend to any patient to use expired Juvederm. This is not safe and it decreases the standard of care for patients.

Joshua Zeichner, MD · Answer

The manufacturers of fillers such as Juvederm and Restylane guarantee the quality and sterility of the products up until the expiration date.  You should not use the product once that date has past.

Darryl J. Blinski, MD · Answer

Though I feel there is no risk, by rule from the company and the FDA I would NOT recommend use for any reason. It is a " what if" issue. What if you have a reaction you and the injecting doctor have broken federal, state, ethical rules. Be careful out there.
