Risk of Death from Injectable Fillers Due to Embolism?
wonderingabout...Nov 3, 2009
I am really interested in getting an injectable filler such as Juvederm, but am paranoid as to the risks involved. Today, I just read online that if the doctor accidentally injects into a vein, then this could kill you--caused by an embolism. How can the doctor tell where to inject in the face (smile lines in particular), so they are sure they won't inject into a vein? Would be greatly appreciated!
