How at-risk is Restylane or Juvederm for causing occlusion on deep forehead scar? (Photo)

September 3, 2020
Asked By:Lomo00 in Toronto, ON, Canada

I have 13 yr old pitted chickenpox scar in middle of my forehead, I want to do Restylane or Juvederm filler asap but scared of an occlusion because of the area I need it in. Is filler just in one circular spot in the middle of forehead at high risk to cause occlusion or is it more so when large areas are done with filler? forehead skin isn't too tight. Injector is NP-PHC, MPH, BSCN certified & has multiple filler clinics, is that enough to tackle a deep scar like this and with those fillers?
