Is it safe to reuse a syringe on another patient (Restylane)?

Asked By:Thhea in Los Angeles, California, USA

Ok, so I'm super nervous about this. The doctor had only used half of a syringe on an earlier patient and I only needed half of a syringe, so he reused the syringe (Restylane) on me. Changed the needle, but still, I'm very nervous now if I can get an infection or get sick? Is this dangerous?
