Probability of Blindness With Restylane Around Inner Corners of Eyes (photo)

Hello, I would like to know if there is a possibility of blindness if I would decide to let MD treat area close to inner corners of my eyes with Restylane - red stars at picture If so, whats the probability of this event occur? Are there any crucial blood vessels in that area? Is the probability higher then probability of blindness while undergoing tear trough treatment with Restylane? I would really love to look more rested..but I guess Its right to not to be sure if I would risk my sight

A: Blindness risk with dermal injection in the inner eye region.

While blindness is a very slight possibility, it is not zero.  Looking at your photo, your upper eyelid skin may be the culprit limiting a rested appearance.  Remember alternative treatment modalities may be operative.  Explore some other options.

I Had Perlane in Nasal Folds and Restalyne in Upper Lip. Now Look Like a Duck & Can't Smile, Is It Permanent?

and look weird when I smile.Is this because of swelling and please tell me it will go away.It was done 15 hrs ago:(

A: Lip Filler Results?

Thank you for the question.

Some swelling is to be expected after the use of fillers.  The results are not permanent ( and generally lasts  6 to 9 months).

Best wishes.

Thank you for the question.

It should be no problem traveling after the injection.
