I Had a Half a Syringe of Radiesse Injected into my Cheek Area . Can I Use the Opened Syringe within 3 Months?

I don't know know why the whole syringe could not be used at the same time. In the cheeks there is always room for a little more volume. There are many areas in the face that could benefit from Radiesse. I usually use the whole 1.5 cc at once. I have never reused a used syringe. I feel that there is no need for that. Radiesse also comes in a 0.8 cc for people who don't need a full syringe.

Hi Aprilo.  All the contributors to this site seem to be saying the same thing.  This is a bad idea.  At our practice this is forbidden.  The bacterial and health (patient safety) reason is the first and primary concern.

Beyond that, having an injection procedure completed involves paying for both product and service and some patients have suggested that they should be able to come back (for whatever reason) for a product that was not finished that day without having to pay another fee for the time.  Our time is all valuable and this is another reason why this practice does not make sense for patient or practitioner.

My recommendation, although not necessarily agreed by all physicians, is not to use unfinished product. YOu are having an elective procedure for improvement in an aesthetic appearance. Why risk anything? The cost should be worth it. Saving unfinished product and reinjecting it could jeopardize infection, even thoough one study refuted this, what if electic power failed and the refrigeration was interuppted for a while? Despite precautions and safety check procedures, you were administered the wrong filler, one that was used on a different patient? It's not worth the few hundred dollars you might save!
