I had Dysport injected one week ago to give me a little lift in the brow. About 5 days in I noticed some drooping of the left eyelid and haven't really seen any brow lifting. Botox has always done this for me in the past. I am wondering if adding some Botox would lift the brow and how long do I need to wait to go back to the Botox.
The most important thing to first decide is whether the drooping is your eyelid or your brow. These would be treated differently. Lid droop can be treated with iopodine drops. I would go back to the person that injected and see what they say as an experienced person might be able to correct this. A true lid drop often clears in just a couple of weeks regardless. This can happen with Botox as well as Dysport but some think that Dysport has to be injected more carefully so go to someone who has experience.
I'm assuming that botox work better on deep deep forehead wrinkles, is this true? Why?
In my experience with both of these drugs, an informed injector will get about the same results with both. I have some patients that prefer Dysport, some Botox. Some say Botox lasts longer , some say Dysport lasts longer. I think that a lot depends on how much of one you use compared to the other as they are dosed differently. More of my patients end up using Dysport as the company seems to have rebates that are ,more enticing.
How does the area of application influence a choice of dysport over botox?)
In skilled hands both of these drugs will give you about the same result. I have patients that prefer one and some that prefer the other. I seem to have more that like Dysport at this point . Dysport seems to have some good rebates a good amount of the time and works much more quickly. Also, as far as areas preferred for one vs. the other, there have been studies that show that Dysport s does better around the eyes and that might be what some are referring to . I have no experience with Xeomin.
