Restylane, Radiesse & Juvederm Warnings - Heart Attack or Stroke from Injecting into Blood

November 7, 2010
Asked By:DeniJ in Los Angeles, California

I have seen this on consent forms. This makes me not want to procede. It says the product can be accidently injected into a blood vessel, resulting in a heart attack or stroke. My questions are...how does the surgeon knowingly prevent this? Please reassure me!
