Probability of Blindness With Restylane Around Inner Corners of Eyes (photo)

The areas that you have pointed out (inner eyes under brow ridge) are a risky area for cosmetic dermal fillers due to where nerve and blood vessels branch out near this area.  Also, it is not clear what your goal would be in treating this area as surgical intervention may be a better option.  We do not inject filler in this area for any reason.

Tear trough treatments with Restylane under the eyes to restore volume loss is a good, safe treatment when done with the correct product, amount of product, and meticulous technique.

However, you may be a better candidate for upper/lower lid blepharoplasty based upon the areas you are interested in treating. 

 

The risk is not zero.  What is the number.  We have no idea.  There are steps that can be used to reduce the risk but it is still not zero.  Certainly this is an advanced treatment area.  Those lacking an intimate and detailed knowledge of the anatomy and special risks of treating this area should not do the treatment.  It is also very reasonable to avoid treating this area or considering other treatment options.

It is a very rare ocurrence for a filler to be injected into a vessel, although it has been reported.  Go to an experienced injector.  I usually do not fill in the inner corner of the upper eyelid region.  I have treated the glabella.
