Can Dysport Result in Permanent Damage to Orbital Septum?

Had dysport for crows feet 27 wks ago. Included injections towards the middle under my eye. Overnight a bulge under left eye developed which Dr thought was swelling from injection. It did not resolve & I now know it is a herniated orbital fat pad. As muscle activity has returned I have noted that when I smile widely the fat pad is pulled back into place. However when my face is relaxed or smiling slightly the bulge remains. Is it the muscles or septum that support the fat pad in a relaxed face?

A: Festoons are possible

In addition to what has already been proposed, one common problem following the injection of botulinum toxin can be the formation of festoons or fluid pockets underneath the eyelid. The normal muscle tension of the orbicularis muscle may hide this tendency under normal circumstances. However with the loss of tone, any skin or muscle laxity is likely to reveal itself and may result in the formation of festoons. On a positive note, your condition should self-resolve as the toxin wears off. Best wishes

Will Dysport or Botox Have Less Facial Bruising and Swelling?

Does one (Dysport or Botox) also have a shorter overall recovery time?

A: Dysport and Botox are virtually identical clinically

There is no difference in the amount of bruising or swelling from the chemical properties of Dysport and Botox. They are both administered through the same fine needle, If, however, a physician mixes the Dysport and Botox purposely to get different dilutions (taking into account the conversion factor for the two products, usually 3 times the units of Dysport for each unit of Botox), then it would not be fair to compare as there might be signficiantly more volume of the higher dilution product which will make it look more swollen immediately. IF the clinically equivalent doses of the two products are administered with the same volume of liquid, then there should be no difference. It is possible that Dysport acts 1 day more quickly in its action of onset, otherwise, there is no significant difference that I have found in the products.
