I have recently received Dysport injections, and have been experiencing severe blurred vision, and a foggy head. When will this pass?
Dysport starts to work the day or two after injection (faster than Botox). Depending on where it is injected it can paralyze the muscles that move one of the eyes. If one eye is moving and the other isnt, the brain sees double vision. Also, Dysport can paralyze the eyelid muscle which will let the eye dry out and can cause visual problems. THis needs to be check by your Plastic Surgeon to identify the cause.
i am trying to decide on Dysport for wrinkles in my forehead area...but worried the drug is so new that the side effects of Dysport are yet to be fully discovred...can the doctors share what are the side effects they are sseing with Dysport so i can be better informed?
Dysport is not new. It has been used in Europe for a long time. There are differences with Botox in how the units work- one unit of Dysport is not equal to one unit of Botox- and how much fluid is added to dilute it.
The initial negative reports from dysport had likely to do with the dilution. Dysport initially was diluted more. With that, many advocated it spread past where you injected it and caused issues with eyelid drooping more often.
I have used it on a few patients and seen no difference with botox. I personally continue to use botox as I have used it for a decade and know it very well. But I think it will end up being a little like coke and pepsi- you like one better because you do, and both are good products. Regardless, the competition will help lower prices. And that is good for everyone.
