How Safe is Restylane Between the Eyes?

truckg
Bewteen my eyes I have atrophic scarring (tissue lost from cystic acne) made pronounced by frown lines; in other words, the depressed area makes the frown lines look deep. I plan to get Botox in this area first before I a filler. I read that filler between eyes can lead to necrosis, blindness, brain clot, etc. How common are these effects? How can they be avoided? Does the fact that I have a scar in that area make the risks more likely because the filler may settle around the scar ("donut" effect) as sometimes happens when using fillers for scars?
