Droopy eye after Botox

The use of Dysport to attempt to fix a droopy eye after a Botox injection will not work as there is no opposing muscle than can be weakened to correct the problem.

Dysport after a Botox treatment

As other panel members have stated, using Dysport to correct ptosis is not beneficial. You will have to wait until the product wears off to return to baseline.

Fixing droopy eyelids with Botox, Dysport or Xeomin

It is not the choice of the agent, Botox, Dysport or Xeomin, that determines the possibility of improvement of a droopy eyelid. They are similar chemicals. If one has not had the glabella treated but had some forehead treatment done, and developed a droop of the forehead which brought down the eyebrow and eyelid complex, then Botox, Dysport or Xeomin, can be injected into the glabella (region between the eyebrows) and the outer eyebrow tail, to help lift the forehead which may bring up... more

Droopy Eyelids after Dysport

Extremely rare, but a droopy lid can happen follwing injections of Dysport, Botox, or Xeomin. All three products work by temporarily paralyzing the muscles into which they are injected. Since they all work the same way, one brand will not undo the results of another. Sometimes Iopidine drops (prescription only) can help a litte. The good news is that the effect will wear off in the eyelid sooner than in the brow, so you should typically see improvement in your lids in about 4-6 weeks. more

Dysport won't fix Botox

Greetings~ Dysport and Botox are both Botulinum Toxin Type A. If you unfortunately got a droopy eyelid from injecting one of the two the other would not be of any help to fix it....chasing the problem with the other may actually worsen the problem. Neosynephrine eye drops may help to improve the symptoms of the droopy eyelid but won't fix it completely. Good luck~ Dr. Grant Stevens

Dysport

Dysport is in the same family of injectables as botox. It will lead to the same result and will worsen (rather than treat) your droopy eyelids.

How Effectively Does Dysport Reduce Droopy Eyelids Following a Botox Procedure?

I think there's some type of confusion. Botox is a neurotoxin as is Dysport and Xeomin. They all have the same type of action and results, so Dysport won't help ypu with a droopy eyelid after a Botox injection. Quite the contrary, it's likely to make it worse. There's nothing to inject to counteract the effects of Botox or any of the neurotoxins. You'll have to wait till the effects wear off which take 3-4 months. more

Dysport to Reduce Droopy Eyelids Following Botox

Dysport has the same effects as Botox and will not improve the rare complication of droopy eyelids after Botox. Iopidine eye drops will sometimes accelerate recovery when this occurs.

Dysport does not correct droopy eyelids from Botox

Dysport and Botox (and Xeomin) are all essentially the same product in that they work the same way. There are some differences but one would not be used to reverse or correct the effects of another one.

Droopy Eyelids from Botox

Dysport cannot resolve droopy eyelids from Botox. If what you have is ptosis, which can happen if too much Botox is injected too low into the muscle, then you need to give it time and/or see your injector for a possible prescription for special eyedrops that help with this. Botox and Dysport are two interchangeable products; one does not reverse the other, and injecting Dysport now could make the eyelid droop even more.
