Dysport

Good news is that the effects of Dysport will wear off in about 3-4 months. The drooping may resolve sooner than this.

Heavy brows after Dysport

Greetings~ Sorry to hear about your unfortunate Dysport experience.

Help for eyelid droop

The droop usually lasts for a much shorter time than does the treatment and often resolves within two weeks on its own. If needed you can use the drops already described to try to shorten the process.

I had a dysport treatment for my forehead about a week ago. EVery day since my forehead and eyebrows have dropped more and more. I can't go 3 months like this. Any advice? Does the brow droop really truly resolve much quicker than the 3-4 months the treatment is supposed to "last".
