A friend told me she had an expired filler injected abd she is ok. Would that as well ok as it dissolve with time. She can't afford full price.
Answer: Expired Fillers Thank you for your question.Any product that has exceeded an expiration date should not be used. To be sure, see two or more board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have treatment. I hope this helps.

Answer: Substandard practice Outdated medications and products should be discarded, and not used. That's just common sense, as well as a AAAASF rule.I really question the type of practice that your friend is going to.

Answer: Expired filler Interesting question. For 2 reasons - 1. Not sure why a licensed physician in our very litiginous society would injected anything whose shelf life has expired. The flip side is 2. A product that is already in one's system may last way longer than it's expiration date. So, why are we so hung up on expiration date?well, reason being, it's medically deemed safe. And, if for any reason, patient suffers an unintended consequence, he/ she may be protected under the law. On the other hand, a physician knowingly using expired products may be liable.I've always believed that one should be particularly careful about having any substances injected into his/ her system. Because, no one should be taking chances with his/ her health trying to save a few bucks. As a physician, it's our principle, 'first do no harm.'My suggestion - do not compromise when it comes to your health. Best.

Answer: Not a good idea I would avoid using expired filler. If cost is an issue, I would delay your treatment until you can afford filler that is not expired. The same goes for any cosmetic treatment or any medication. You must also consider that if a provider has expired filler, they may not be using that filler very frequently. For safety I would have the freshest, most effective, and safest material possible injected by a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon with training in fillers.
