I vaguely remember the doc saying they keep it 60 or 90 days but I just called the clinic and the receptionist says 3weeks? What’s the real answer?
Answer: Lip Fillers - Left over Filler Revampy, Each office and physician will have a slightly different view on this issue. Most offices I am familiar with will preserve the remainder of a unused syringe for their patients for small touch ups a few weeks later (final results of fillers typically take around 2 weeks in the lips). Some will keep the syringe refrigerated until the expiration date. It is best to check with your specific physician for their policy. Cheers - Dr. Nesiba

Answer: SAVING FILLER We typically use the entire syringe but, if the occasion arises where we need to keep some for a possible touch up, it is kept until the expiration date.

Answer: Lip augmentation with Fillers (Juvederm, Restylane, Volbella) and saving filler Each office will have their own policy. I recommend following up with your Doctor about their office's policy. It takes 1-2 weeks for final results. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Saving opened Dermal Fillers for future use We do not "save syringes." Patient safety is a primary concern. The syringes are labeled single use only. FDA’s statement: injectable gel is packaged for single patient use. The contents of the syringe are sterile and non-pyrogenic. Do not re-sterilize. Do not use if the package is opened or damaged. As with all transcutaneous procedures, dermal filler implantation carries a risk of infection. Follow standard precautions associated with injectable materials. FDA’s statement: injectable gel is to be used as supplied. Modification or use of the product outside the Directions for Use may adversely impact the sterility, homogeneity, and performance of the product. The training and safety measures are of the utmost importance. Choose a Board Certified Plastic surgeon, Board Certified Dermatologist, Board Certified Facial Plastic Surgeon, Oculoplastic surgeon, or Certified Aesthetic Nurse Specialist. Ask questions!!

Answer: How long to save filler There really is no official answer on this. It depends upon the comfort level of the injector as to how long to save opened syringes. I do not like to save them for more than 8 weeks.
