Hi I am 3 months from having dysport. As it has worn off, some -huge- new wrinkles appeared on the right side of my forehead. In the 'before' pics above, the right side of my forehead is totally smooth. There is just one small vertical line on the left side. (which ironically was the -only- thing I originally wanted to treat) now there are two huge, ugly, vertical lines on the right side too.... I'm very shocked. It looks WAY, WAY WORSE than it did before. What can I do? opinions? ideas? help!

Wrinkles from Dysport?

It is unlikely that Dysport would cause new wrinkles. Based on your photos, it appears that you are contracting in your after photo and not at all in your before photos. It is not unusual for patients to "forget" what their baseline looked like. I recommend following up with your injector to view your photos and determine if a different plan is required for your facial anatomy.

Well you are 3 months older.

Anne It is very helpful to ask to see the photos from the office prior to treatment. Sometimes our memory is a little different than reality. The photos you are putting up simply show you activating your forehead muscles more in the after photos than in the before photos. Way worse? Not really sure I agree with you. Your options are have more BOTOX or Dysport, or simply continue to allow your prior service to wear off. It is likely that at 3 months you... more
