Minimum ml that can be found in juvederm syringe?

Question

I was wondering what the minimum dode juvederm has released? My LS says that she has 0.5ml syringes however doctors online state that the minimum dose for juvederm in any given syring is .8ml. Is this correct? She had injected me with more or less the entire thing in my top lip, and stated it was only 0.4/0.5ml (and that's what I paid for)

Thank you for sharing your excellent question.  Allergan, the company that produces Juvederm, does sell Ultra and Ultra Plus syringes that are only 0.4cc in size.  Their most recent filler release, Volbella, is also sold in 0.55cc syringes.   Hope this helps.

The product does come in 0.4ml syringes, as well as other syringe volumes.  Physicians may not carry all available sizes.  Check with your injector to know what volumes they have available.

Yes, Juvederm does sell 0.4 mL syringes. If you're concerned, I recommend following up with your Dr. Keep in mind, you will have swelling 1-2 weeks after your injections, so it is too soon for your final results. Best, Dr. Emer

Juvederm comes in a prepackaged 1.0 ml syringe, but there are doctors who take that same syringe and repackage and even dilute it to be less or more.  That becomes a problem as you may be paying for more than you actually receive.

We don't do this as it makes less sense and often leads to sterility issues.  Restylane, by the way, comes as 1.15 ml per syringe.  There are new syringes of a product called Volbella (juvederm family for the lips) that are 0.55 ml.

Hope that doesn't confuse you.  Good luck!
