Will this get worse and was it due to error?
There are two types of drooping seen following a botulinum toxin service: actual eyelid margin ptosis and eyebrow ptosis. Without a photograph it is impossible to know which one your are describing. Generally if you have it after 24 hours, it is going to be pretty bad. Yes it is a foreseeable error that may not may not be avoidable on the part of the treating physician. It is likely that you doctor described this potential complication in your consent and you...

Post Dysport Treatment - Drooping & Swelling
Thank you for your question. Sometimes people can feel or see heaviness of the lids which can last up to 2 weeks or longer. I would wait about 2 weeks for the final effect to get evaluated by your injector in case its temporary as the Dysport settles. If it does not resolve, its possible that Dysport may have traveled to other muscle groups causing a temporary droop. Be certain to be under the supervision of a board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon with expertise in injectables for...

Swelling and drooping of eyelids following Dysport
Even when Dysport injections are performed properly, there is a chance that ptosis (drooping of the eyelids) can take place.

Side effects from Dysport injections can include the following:
1) Bruising
2) Headaches
3) Eyelid ptosis
4) An expressionless appearance - (if too much is injected, or the injections are not...

Happens occasionally... does not mean error
This happens occasionally and does not mean there was an error. The drooping can be subtle and a cosmetic problem. It may be due to a small amount of diffusion. It will probably wear off within a week or so. If the eyelid drooping is severe and interfering with your vision, you should return to your injector to see if you need eye drops to reverse this.
