“So anywhere you inject a filler and you get into a vessel on the outside of the skin, you can create an embolism. You can create an embolism and it's going to go follow the path of least resistance once you bolus it into the tissue. It's going to backflow, but then it's going to be pushed forward again. It's going to go to the opthalmic artery. It may go into your central nervous system, I'm sorry, into your brain, I should say, and the vasculature there and create a stroke.”
