If there is a risk of blindness with liquid rhinoplasty/nose bridge filler why is it still allowed to be performed in the US?

It is very important for a surgeon to understand the vascular anatomy of somebody's nose. The central nasal bridge is a safe area to inject since there are few significant blood vessels in this area. Sometimes on unqualified injectors may push too much product too fast, near a blood vessel. Thank you for your question. Sincerely, Dr. Joseph

yes since its a risk its something people still do but sign consent forms signaling they understand the risks. Best, Dr. Emer.

Fillers are used all over the face. The risk of blindness is but very low. It’s the surgeons choice to use fillers around the eyes. The manufacturer or the FDA only approve the substance but they can’t tell a doctor where they can or can’t injects it.
