Can lip fillers be saved for touch ups later? (photos)

Saving fillers varies from practice to practice. It is always best to use the product once it is opened as it comes sterile. You do not want to take a risk of getting an infection when the product is being stored. I occasionally offer that option to my patients of stories the unused product they purchased for their follow up visit only. If they don't come in with in 10-14 days, the product gets discarded into garbage. Looks like your provider listened to your concern and suggested the best option without using a full syringe and also saving you money. You only wanted bottom lip enhanced, which is what they listened to, but in my opinion, your top lip is not virtually not noticeable compared to a huge bottom lip.  There  is no such thing as touch ups with fillers as each time you want additional product a new box has to be opened. Hope this helps, Best, Dr.Avaliani

Volbella only comes filled to .55ml as compared to 1.0ml with most other fillers, so one syringe of Volbella is easily used for lip augmentation in one session.  That being said, while I will some practices will use a splitter to save a partial syringe for future use on the same patient, I wouldn't recommend it.

It's best not to save
syringes once opened since there's always a risk of infection once the seal has
been broken and product is stored. Many practices use splitters and will split
syringes so you only have to purchase 0.5 of a syringe at a time
