Paying for Botox by the Vial

A few weeks ago, I had Botox for my crow's feet only, but I was charged for an entire vial of Botox (6 cc's)! I have had this procedure before by the same well known plastic surgeon, and I know only 3 cc's were used. He told me we only needed 3 cc's. I am very upset and have been refused documentation of the amount used. Is there any way an entire vial of Botox could have been used on my crow's feet? Do other doctors charge for a whole vial if all of it isn't used? Is there something I'm missing?
