Are Microcannula's one time use/disposable?

Asked By:Snoopy2017 in Smithers, BC

I had some filler in my chin the help with some marionette lines and in hopes it would fix a crescent shape I had on one side. This did not happen. I worry about needles or syringes being reused or extra filler being used on different patients. What about microcannula's as I heard these are expensive? I know that doctors have a code of ethics but how common is this?

Answer: Cannulas are for single use only, needle is more effective to change shapes though.
