Posted under Restylane q&a

I had Restalyn injected into my Glabella and Botox at the same time. Can filler cause blindness days or weeks after injection?

Mary Seiler
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.
