I have never gotten lip injections, but I am no stranger to voluma for my cheekbones. I don't want to look too full, so I was thinking of starting with half a syringe of juvederm ultra and then coming back to my doctor for the other half if I still want it. Would he be able to store it or do you have to toss it after it's been opened?
Answer: Can You Store Half A Syringe Of Juvederm To Use At A Later Date? Thank you for your excellent question. I do not recommend storing partially used syringes due to the risk of bacterial contamination and the possibility of subsequent infection. Please be sure to see an expert injector for an in-person consultation to fully discuss your concerns and your goals and expectations in order to determine the best treatment plan. You might also consider Volbella for a conservative lip augmentation. Beautiful and natural results can be achieved. Hope this helps and best wishes!

Answer: Storing Juvederm Thank you for your question. While some physicians do offer to save opened, partially used syringes of filler for future use, I generally recommend against this. Fillers like Juvederm are formulated and sealed as sterile products, to prevent the risk of deep infections in skin after treatment. Once the syringe has been opened, there is no longer any way to guarantee the sterility of the product, and the longer it is stored, the greater the risk of bacterial contamination.If you are unsure you want to commit to a full syringe of Juvederm, please consider trying a product like Volbella. Volbella is a very thin filler, designed to add very subtle volume to the lips, and a full syringe of Volbella contains only 0.55cc rather than the 1cc of filler in a syringe of Juvederm. I would recommend scheduling a consultation with an experienced cosmetic dermatologist or plastic surgeon to discuss your concerns and determine the best treatment plan for you. Best of luck!
