Are the Dysport Side Effecs Reversibles? (photo)

In January 27th 2012 I had Dysport, on glabellas area, on crow’s feet and in marionette’s line. Three weeks later I woke up in the morning with my right cheek swollen. The day after all my face swollen up in the areas where I’ve received Dysport injections.. I’m in week 13 post injection and this has continued with variations. The swelling moved around week by week sometimes above and sometimes below my face. How long does it last? Cab I have some hope?

Re: Are the Dysport Side Effecs Reversibles? (photo)

I’m sorry your Dysport experience was so difficult. I have never encountered an adverse reaction that caused such extreme swelling following Dysport injections. Typically, side effects from Dysport (if they occur) are minimal and resolve in several days. Swelling can sometimes last longer, but thirteen weeks is excessive. I recommend following up with both the provider who initially injected you and your primary care physician for evaluation. It would be helpful for your... more

Reaction to Dysport - Swelling after Dysport

In general, any unwanted effect or side-effect from Dysport is reversible. Some reactions take 1-2 days resolve, others take weeks, and others take months. Swelling that occurs weeks after treatment is unusual. It is possible that one can be allergic to the protein that surrounds the neurotoxin. This protein is related to Milk protein, which is why treatment is contraindicated in such persons with a known allergy. When this occurs, swelling may develop days or weeks after... more

Dysport Side Effects

I would recommend you seek the advice of a board certified dermatologist in your area. Without knowing who injected you and with what specifically, I can only offer general advice. The degree of swelling and redness you have would be exceptionaly uncommon after having dysport injected. A reaction or dermal hypersensitivity reaction could occur if you had an allergy to one of the proteins the dysport is complexed to. However, given the severity of your reaction I think you need to seek advice... more

Swelling after disport

I have never seen a reaction to Dysport of this type but of course anything is possible. The most likely possibility would not be a function of the Dysport but an "allergic " reaction to a component. It is also possible that this is a coincidence and you are reacting to something else. I would see your doctor. The first thing that I would do if you were my patient would be to try some antihistamines and give you a shot of steroids to se if this goes down. I would also think about... more

Dysport lasts 3-4 months

Like Botox, Dysport only lasts 3-4 months, and 6 months at most. What you are experiencing is extremely rare and I haven't seen anything like it. Are you sure you received only Dysport, and that it was really Dysport made by Medicis? It's also not a normal practice to put Dysport into the marionette lines (unless it's a tiny, tiny amount) because it can affect facial muscles and functionality of the mouth - are you sure you didn't have fillers there? I would suggest you see... more

Dysport

I would highly recommend that you see your physician that injected you regarding the swelling that you are experiencing. You may be allergic to the cow's milk protein, used in Dysport.

Persistent Swelling After Dysport

I agree with the other physicians as this is not the normal reaction to Dysport. I would recommend an evaluation by an allergist to investigate undiagnosed hypersensitivies that you could have.

Dysport side effects

Was this your first time with Dysport? Sometimes people can have allergic reactions. I wold recommend going back to where you got your Dysport and let them know your situation. i would also suggest taking some antihistamine to reduce the swelling.

Dysport Side Effects Reversable

Sorry for your negative reaction to your treatment. Typically, any side effects with botox or dysport are reversable with time. The degree of your swelling suggests that you did not have a typical treatment. Consult immediately in person with your injector and/or an experienced and expert board certified plastic surgeon. see video

Side effects of Dysport

In most cases, any side effects that occur from Dysport injections will appear within the first one to two weeks following the injections. Based on your photos, your swelling may have been caused by an allergy. After 3 weeks, it is very unlikely that the amount of swelling you have present is a direct side effect from the Dysport. I would recommend speaking with your physician right away to determine the cause of your swelling. It would also be necessary to take the... more
