INTRODUCTION
Aesthetic procedures such as botulinum neurotoxin injection and filler injection for anti-aging are highly getting popularity worldwide. Hyaluronic acid (HA) injections are often used for volume augmentation and wrinkle reduction. To avoid difficulties, understanding the vascular anatomy and filler content is crucial. Major fillers can cause vascular and nonvascular problems. Vascular complications include skin necrosis and visual problems. Non-vascular complications include inflammation, migration, Tyndall's effect, granulomas, and delayed hypersensitivity.
Injecting small amounts of filler can reportedly prevent blindness. In this study, we injected a filler into each branch of the ophthalmic artery that may be responsible for the potential loss of vision.

MATERIALS AND METHODS
A total of 51 ophthalmic arteries from 29 Korean cadavers (17 men and 12 women; mean age at death, 79.2; range, 61–92 years) were dissected to allow harvesting of the ophthalmic artery and its branches. After the dissection, 17 filler injections were introduced into the supratrochlear, supraorbital, and dorsal nasal arteries each. The amount of injected filler required to block the whole ophthalmic artery was measured using a ruler.

RESULTS
The mean filler volume injected into the supratrochlear artery was 0.0397 ± 0.010 mL. The mean filler volume injected into the supraorbital artery measured 0.0409 ± 0.00932 mL (Table 1), and the dorsal nasal artery measured 0.0368 ± 0.00732 mL. There were no significant differences between these arteries and individual demographics (p> 0.05) (Figure 3).The micro-computed tomography of the ophthalmic artery and its branching arteries of supratrochlear, supraorbital, and dorsal nasal artery had obstructing volume of 0.0393 mL, 0.0483 mL, and 0.0371 mL, respectively (Figure 4).
Even a modest amount of filler injection can completely block the ophthalmic artery, resulting in visual loss.

DISCUSSION
Numerous strategies have been suggested to prevent this secondary blindness. The use of Doppler ultrasound-guided injections has been recommended as a preventive method. Additionally, the use of a cannula, rather than a needle, prevents arterial puncture. Because the essential arteries (dorsal nasal, supratrochlear, and supraorbital arteries) have a diameter of approximately 1 mm, larger diameter cannulas are typically safer than smaller diameter cannulas. An artery cannot be penetrated by a cannula with a relatively large diameter according to a comparison diagram between arterial diameter and cannula.
In the study we conducted micro computed tomography to confirm the result of dissection based study, and found out there were no differences between them. The micro computed tomography method allows a three-dimensional observation with wholemount staining for contrast enhancement. A precise anatomical understanding of the anatomical structures could be analyzed and measured.
The lack of data from live humans limits this study's findings. Information on the actual arterial pressures can be used to determine whether blindness would occur in a live person. Actual ejection pressures are reportedly substantially higher than blood pressure.This indicates that even a tiny filler injection is sufficient to raise the opthalmic artery pressure.
