Can Dysport Incorrectly Injected Cause Hallowing Under the Eyes and Eye Bags Permanently? At age 24, seeking help for under eye hallowing..I went to a medspa. Being young, and not well educated on fillers, etc... I trusted in the nurse. She suggested I get Dysport. So I did. Clearly, now 2 years later, after much research, I know this is for wrinkles, NOT filling areas... I now have worse hallowing and under eye bags. Can Dysport cause this? Even two year later? Or is this due to other circumstances? I have lost weight and aged 2 years.. I just hope that Dysport wasn't the culprit!

A: Dysport is not the cause of undereye hollows

Dysport is abobotulinumtoxinA, an alternative to Botox, used for wrinkles. When used around the eyes it can help get rid of "crows feet", or the laugh lines near the eye. It does not cause undereye hollows. That is usually a factor of losing volume as you age, your weight loss, and also genetic factors. That region responds well to fillers, especially Restylane, but be very careful in choosing someone with experience injecting this area. All fillers have potential risks, and injection of fillers is not the same as a beauty treatment. It is a medical procedure. In the right hands, fillers can be used to safely fill this undereye hollow, or "tear trough", and results tend to last longer than average in this location. Also, hylaurinic acid fillers tend to stimulate your body to form collagen, meaning you may need less filler in that location over time, and may even no longer require it over time.

Had Dysport in Right Eye About 1 Week Ago. Now What? Thinking about having left eye done so they will at least match

A: Dysport injection to the eyes I am not sure why you only had one eye injected with Dysport and not both? Did you have some asymmetry in the beginning you were trying to correct? If you are happy with the result and you currently have asymmetry from only doing one eye then I would suggest seeing your original injecting surgeon for a touch up on the other side to promote a proper aesthetic balance. Best regards!

Will Dysport or Botox Have Less Facial Bruising and Swelling? Does one (Dysport or Botox) also have a shorter overall recovery time?

A: Botox and Dysport have same risk of bruising Both Botox and Dysport have the same risk of bruising. The bruising is due to the injection site and not the product used. The injecting technique is the most important factor. In the hands of a skilled injector there should be minimal bruising with either product. It is important to make sure you are not taking aspirin and aspirin containing compounds, as well as many known vitamins and herbs that also may increase the small risk of bruising. Most patients come in to the office for injections and return to work or their normal social activities within a short time of their departure. Best regards!

80% of Newport Beach reviewers said Dysport was worth it

	“Everyone Should Try Dysport - Orange...” I have used both Dysport and Botox. I was honestly very nervous to try Dysport because I had never really heard about it or knew much about it. Dysport was running a rebate program, so I thought I would give it a try. Dr. G explained the differences between Dysport and Botox and made sure I was well informed. I am so pleased with how the Dysport looks. It kicked in way faster than Botox (3... more
	“Better Than Botox” I've been getting Botox injections for the past few years in the frown lines between my brows. It took days to work, I needed a lot of it, and it lasted around 4 months. Each time I went I paid $360. I was introduced to Dysport last December and decided to give it a try. I needed more of it but it actually cost me less ($200 total). It began working within hours and it lasted 6 months... more
	“Never Had Dysport or Botox Before,...” I turned 37 this past January, and this was the year I began to feel my face was looking older. With the support of a friend whose 43 and been getting Botox since she was my age, we made a joint appointment. She explained to me the importance of having someone experienced do your procedure. Most of the "cons" reviews I've read seem to show signs of inexperience practitioners.The... more
	“Dysport Not As Good As Botox - 5...” My med-spa had a special with 50 units free Dysport with a Restalyn treatment. I purchased an additional 50 units for forehead.I did get a brow lift, but it lasted about 5 days; on the 6th day I had more around the eye wrinkles than before. There was no change in my forehead wrinkles.IMHO, Dysport is not as effective as Botox and a huge waste of money. more
	“Prefer Dysport over Botox - Quicker...” I decided to try Dysport because I wanted a more affordable treatment than Botox. I found a place in Newport Beach, CA and was happy with the results. The pros are: it is cheaper than Botox per about $4.00 per unit. It doesn't hurt anymore than Botox and the treatment was done in about 5 or 10 min. which was nice! more
