I will be having Restylane injected for my under eye hollows. I am so afraid. I worry about retinal occulusion, and blindness. I also worry about long term effects. Can you give me your opinion about the procedure under the eyes? Thank you.

Answer: Blidness after restylane injection There have been cases of blindness after dermal filler injections, this most commonly happens in the forehead area. To reduce the risk of injecting filler into the artery, a cannula can be used. It is difficult, although not impossible, to penetrate the wall of an artery with a cannula. In my opinion, filler done with a cannula into the tear trough area by the right injector and for the right patient will give you excellent results without lumps or discoloration. Bruising is always a potential problem, but is reduced with the use of a cannula. Good Luck.

Answer: No damage to eyes or eyesight when performed correctly At two weeks after your treatment, you should expect most of the swelling to have resolved itself by now. I would recommend you visit your injector to have this looked at. You shouldn’t feel as much pain and this could be a complication.
