39-year old considering Juvederm Voluma cheek injections but worried about risks.

Asked By:fama in Vancouver, WA

I'm 39 and considering having Juvederm Voluma injected into my cheeks for the first time. I've been doing some research and worrying about the worst case scenario. I've read online about intraarterial embolization and potential blindness from blocking an eye artery and this causes me a bit of anxiety (the idea of going blind simply terrifies me). Are there any eye arteries in the cheeks? How high are the risks? Also, what is the best way to locate the most experienced doctor? Thank you. Maria
