A dermatologist had a holiday sale for 2 syringes of voluma for the price of one . When he was getting ready to inject me I noticed he already had the filler in a syringe sitting on a side table . How do I know he used 2 syringes total that I paid for ?

Answer: Getting what you paid for! Hi there. Thanks for your question. I do a mix of prep in the lab and in my room. But I would never be offended if a patient were asking about the filler syringes! Especially since it's often out of curiosity and I can then have that opportunity to educate! FYI, one syringe of most fillers (Radiesse being the exception) are 1mL of product. Now, every clinic does things differently and while many will tell you "you use it or you lose it", some will save you extra filler that you have paid for (there is no FDA approval to do this). So, if you paid for 2mL and your provider injected 1.8mL and you didn't NEED any of that leftover filler, it may have just gone in the trash.

Answer: Dermal fillers When injecting dermal fillers I always open the boxes in front of my patients. I also let them know exactly which filler(s) I am using. If you were expecting 2 syringes of product than 2 syringes should have been placed on the tray. You should discuss your concerns with your provider.
