Juvederm is very sticky so would not have tendency to "move" on its own and certainly I would not expect this or botox to cross blood brain barrier. If juvederm got in... more

Migration is minimal, if any

Juviderm can be molded after injection, so movement is possible, but migration in the way that you are describing it is near impossible. It certainly will not migrate into the eye or even the eye socket if its placed in the glabellar region.
