I'm nervous because I read that blockage of blood vessels can occur from external compression of the blood supply by surrounding filler or swelling causing blindness. I also read that filler can accidentally seep into blood vessels and find its way into the eyes artery causing blindness.
Answer: Dermal fillers injected into glabella Hi @Mary Seiler! If this was to happen, the results would have been seen almost immediately. Best of luck, Dr. Nima!

Answer: Days .... weeks .... after.. No. Fillers cannot cause blindness, which is a rare complication of fillers, after days or weeks from the time of the injection. Filler material can enter the blood vessels in the glabella and may travel to the eye vessels, but most events occur soon thereafter the injection. I think once you're past 24 hours, you're probably safe.Best wishes, Dr. ALDO

Answer: Fillers and Vascular Occlusion // Blindness // Necrosis // Filler Compliations if you were to get occlusion you would have seen the results of it relatively quickly, its not as common to have a delayed reaction. I suggest you see an expert if you are concerned but symptoms such as redness, abnormal pain, skin color change would be noticeable. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Can filler cause blindness days or weeks after injection? Thank you for your question. Although blindness has been reported with injections to the glabella region, it is very rare. If this was to happen the results would have been seen almost immediately. Since you beyond that point I would not worry. However, it is always best to address any concerns you may have with your treating physician. Best of Luck!
