Can leftover filler be used on the face?

Doctor's Answer

This is a common question that many patients have asked me.

Personally, I review my patients within 2 weeks and use the remaining filler within this time period for the same reason that Dr Edwin mentioned.

I usually try to complete the filler injection in a single session, especially for Non-hyaluronic acid fillers like Radiesse. I am more cautious when storing and using this type of fillers because Non-hyaluronic acid fillers cannot be readily dissolved using hyaluronidase in the event of suspected infection.

Hope that this helps!

Regards,

Dr Justin Boey
