Is Sculptra for temples too risky?

lily_lee2000
My temples have sunken (35+old) and am considering fillers for the temple areas. I’ve read some articles saying that temple injections are risky due to the blood vessels in that area, and the risks include blindness. I understand that unlike HA fillers, Sculptra cannot be dissolved, but in terms of potential risks, is Sculptra safer than the HA fillers? Also should Sculptra be injected deeply in the temple areas? Can a blunt cannular be used?
