Dysport: Stories

Meant to say 10 years OLDER. (LOL)

Sorry for the duplicate post!

I Agree with you, I am very sad over what has happed to me and to others .. These doctors are only in it for the money, and the first thing they do before injecting you, is throw a malpractice waver in front of you to sign too take them off the hook, and stupid you, You sign it !! .. On Friday, January 18 / 2013, just 10 days ago I had a Boca Raton Plastic Surgeon Dr. Handle screw me up good with Dysport, my first time ever using anything, now my Left Eye Brow is much lower than my Right Eye Brow as it is much higher, and my Right Eye Lid is near closing and I have a big bruise on my Left cheek bone .. This did not show up until about four days after the injections, then one morning I woke up and my Right eye was almost closed, I was HORRIFIED !!! I could not believe it, I called the doctor, and with a cavalier attitude he said, in about three weeks the Dysport will wear off and the Eyelid will return back to normal, there must have been another sucker waiting for him to see, because he droped me like a Hot Potato !! He got his money, and now on to the next patient ... So we are on our own, and must promise never to do this again, and that we all go back to normal soon again ... I have noticed, that when you come on to strong about your personal experience that it is not published I hope this gets through, And Yes, Dysport needs to be taken off the market, it is to Dangerous to use !!! ... I would appreciate a Reply ..

I am totally back to normal :) It took a good 7-8 months to look better and not have it constantly on my mind and not to be self conscious about it any more. It is totally gone by at least 11-12 mo.
Have faith, you will get there I promise.

Hi Alliesmom, I am so happy for you, I hope that I will be as fortunate .. Alliesmom, was your eyelid almost closed ? was your eyelid skin hanging over your eyesight ? well mine is .. I had the Dysport used on January 18 / 2013 by a well known Boca Raton Plastic Surgeon, and a few days later I woke up with my Right eye closed , if you read about our sister KensiKat, her problem is exactly the same thing that happened to me .. My Left eyebrow is low And my Right eyebrow has a high arch with a almosed closed eyelid .. I also have deep laugh lines on the outside of both eyes that I never had before, and deep crease onthe top of my nose and a big bruise on my left cheek .. The only thing that I can say is, my forehead is smooth Walla !! .. I went back to the surgeon to show him my drooped eyelid, and to make a long story short, the doctor said, every thing will return back to normal in about three weeks after the Dysport has worn off , Is He Kidding !! from what I have been reading, it takes many, many months and even years.. Here is a surgeon who told me that he injects his Mother and his wife, and his friends .. While I was in his examining room waiting to be injected, I picked up a magazine and turned to a page that gave all the warnings about the after effects of using Dysport and Botox, when the doctor came in I said , doctor, I have just read some very frightening things about all the after effects that you can get if you use Dysport or Botox, AND he said, it is not true, it is very safe !! if it wasn't, I wouldn't be using it on my Mother or my wife or my friends .. SO stupid me, I could have saved myself at that given moment from this horrible disfigurment if only I had used my better judgement .. The nurse came in with the malpractice papers for me to sign, and I, stupid me, I signed them, then the doctor, the injector came in, and injected the Dysport , I was not told that I was going to be injected with Dysport, I thought it was Botox, I at that time had never heard of Dysport, being the first time I had ever had anything done before ..Please, YOU must be smart ( I wasn't ) and realize that it is all money with these Plastic Surgeons, once you sign those malpractice papers and they get your money and something happens, they do not want to hear from you, You Are an after thought, And you can not do anything about it !! And they are off to the next patient !! .. I Know I Will Never Do This Again !! I just pray that we all go back to normal soon ...

No my upper eyelid was fine but my lower lid hung low and I could not close it enough to keep from getting soap in my eyes in the shower. That lasted a couple of months, the thing that took so long was the droop in my face and smile. You will get better, it just takes time! It will happen I promise. My Derm that did it felt really bad and gave me my money back, his nurse called and checked on me a lot and was very sympathetic. I felt he cared so that made it a little better.

How are you today?

Hello V. My left eye is back to normal now. It took more than a month to do so. My doctor told me that it is rare to happen. I was his first one. However, it happened and I got very concerned about it. Since this was my first time using Dysport, I will not use it again. Placebo or not, I rather stick with the old botox every 6 months. The doctor said that Botox can cause the same side effect. However, I have used it for 3 times and never had such effect on my eyes. Maybe we are alergic to it. Do not worry, it will go back to normal.

thanks for the encouragement, although more than a month sounds like hell. It's horrible to either look like you had a stroke or when my eyes are gonig all googly, like I'm just plain whacked out. To know that I did this for vanity and then have something happen which makes me paranoid to go out in public.... My first time with Dysport and I won't use it again either. I was very happy with the results the Dysport had on my crows feet. Too bad. My Dock said the same thing as far as how often this happens and can happen with Botox as well. Thanks again for the response. I love it when women support each other. :) V

hi there, I used Dysport for the first time a month ago, and it ruined my smile which is my best feature. It made my lpwer lips look thinner although i have a full one. Im wondering how long it will take to get back to normal. Please lt me know if your eye is totaly back to normal
