Hi. Is it possible for hyaluronic acid fillers to travel to other body parts through the blood system if injected into a vessel? I had restylane injected in my face without knowing I was pregnant. Would the filler cause a clot and stop in the heart before reaching the uterus is so? Or could the filler travel all the way down to the fetus without noticing? I cant notice anything unusual after my treatment.
