Can you get blind from cheek and lip fillers?

October 26, 2018
Asked By:mj123lo in Australia, AU

I'm really wanting to get my cheeks done, but I've just found out that fillers can leave you instantly blind. I've had my lips done before, and I was under the impression from my doctor that blindness would only occur if I had a vascular occlusion which wasn't properly dealt with immediately. Am I putting myself at risk everytime I get my lips done? Can you get instantly blind from this? And because the cheeks are so close to the eyes , is this considered a "dangerous" area? Thanks
