Does Belotero need to be refrigerated after use?

Question

Does Belotero need to be refrigerated after use? I understand sterility and if not used to discard, but my doctor said there was too much swelling and would like to see me back in the office in about two days to finish syringe

Sheila Barbarino, MD, FACS · Answer

Thank you for your question! If there was too much swelling at the time you were first injected, wait until all the swelling is completely gone 2-4 weeks and then go back to have more filler injected. In the meantime, the doctor can store it for you in a secure spot and reinject you with it at that time. I hope that helps! Good luck!

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

No, it does not required refrigeration. Swelling can take 1-2 weeks to go away and it's best to wait so that the final result can be appreciated and more fillers accurately injected.  Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for your question .
Belotero does not need to be refrigerated. This said:
1- wait at least 2 weeks prior to getting more filler 
2- I would advice against storing partially used syringes. Once the product has been used, it is no longer sterile. Re-using a partially used syringe is something you should discuss with your provider/injector .

Hardik Doshi, MD, FACS · Answer

Adding more filler to any place on the face, especially the eyes, should not be performed earlier than 2 weeks. The 2 weeks allows the swelling from filler placement to settle so that an accurate assessment of if and how much product needs to be placed. Belotero does not need to be refrigerated, but the product is no longer sterile once used. The risk of re-using a partially used syringe of filler should be discussed with your injector. Hope that helps!Hardik Doshi, M.D.Facial & Reconstructive Plastic Surgeon
