Return visit to fix eyelids

The first thing at you need to do is go back to the physicians office that did the procedure and show them your concerns. Any time that you receive these medications for frown lines, e number one side effect is lid ptosis, which is the dropping of the lid. If you had your forehead done as well as your crows feet, it may be difficult to fix. There are eye drops that can help with lid ptosis, but the only real fix may be with time, when the dysport wears off.

Drooping brows after Dysport

Greetings~ You do not have to have droopy or flat brows in order to treat horizontal forehead lines. Technique and dosage are very important when injecting the forehead for just this reason so it is important to find an injector with a great deal of experience. The newest injections that were done may help to weaken your natural brow depressors and give you a bit of a lift until the forehead wears off and returns to normal. The best remedy now is time.

Using Dysport for forehead wrinkles without dropping the brows

Treating horizontal forehead wrinkles with a neurotoxin such as Dysport or Botox can be very complex so it is important to make sure your injector is an experienced and board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon before you begin treatment. In order to soften the expressive forehead lines, you have to relax the large muscle that goes across the forehead. Unfortunately, this is also the muscle that is responsible for keeping your eyebrows up in a nice arched shape so the... more

Heavy brow after dysport

This dropping can happen for more than one reason. One would be treating the forehead wrinkles only. Some patients ask for this and it can result in lowering the brow to get rid of the creases.Y ou are not raising the brows which would happen if other areas were treated at this time. The other way that it can happen is with too much dysport, especially if too low or if you are just very sensitive. Some of this might resolve way before all the dysport wears off. more

Really, time is your best bet

Unfortunately it sounds like your frontalis muscle has been overinjected or injected so low that it has caused your central eyebrows to drop down. I understand the feeling of heaviness, but as the Dysport starts to wear off a bit, it won't be so bad in the coming weeks. I know you want to hear a good counter strategy, but really, an improper injection of Botox or Dysport will just take time to wear off. I usually won't inject people for a minimum of 10 days after their initial... more

You live in Los Angeles so you could consider seeing me for a counter treatment.

Generally this services that drop the forehead weaken the frontalis muscle. This paralysis leads to unopposed action by the eyebrow depressors. These muscles are hard to treat selectively using standard methods. I have develop a patent method call microdroplet botulinum toxin (also call micro brow lift) that allow selective treatment of just the eyebrow depressors. For a counter treatment, I generally advise getting out a few weeks from the original treatment and then... more
