Hello. Two weeks ago I had Dysport injection on my forehead and eyes ares. the day after theinjection I had some headache and drooping eyelids and soon recovered from the side effects.

Two days ago I noticed that my left eyelid drooped again. The right eyelid is fine. I am very concern since this is the third time I have this type of treatment in intervals of 6 months and never had side effects before. However, my other 2 treatment were done with botox.

Is it possible that th is a late side effect of the dysport? How can Itake care of this problem. I discussed about ths problem wit my surgeon ver the phone since he is out of town, and made an appointment to see him on Monday. I am really concerned about it :-(...

Hi, It's been a few months since your injection. I just had my first Dysport injection 1 week and three days ago. 4 days ago my left eyelid started drooping. The clinic said it was probably the Dysport and that it would go away in 7 to 10 days. Would you PLEASE tell me what happened with you? Thanks V

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

where did they inject you?? I never heard of this or botox used in the lip area. I have used botox for many years and this is my first time with dysport. I dont love it, I am not sure if the Doc put more in than with Botox, I was injected between the eyes , over the eyebrows and in the laugh lines by the eyes.

Hi everyone. I used Dysport appoximately 3 weeks ago. Don't feel bad, I'm a nurse and thought I asked all the right questions. I also have a droopy eyelid that swells at night and is worse in the morning from eye strain. It actually hurts in the eyeball and tears all the time. I think from the relaxed muscle that seems to be laying on it. I too feel silly that I did this for looks. I was on my first cruise with my daughter and was talked into it. The doctor on the ship actually injected me and I don't think he had very much experience with the product. I read that it spreads more than Botox. This was my first time and it was here that I heard about the drops. What actually do they do?? and how much help does it help? I also feel like everyone is looking at me.

Dysport does tend to spread more but botox can very well do the same thing depending on how it is diluted. I had Dysport on May 22 and am just now starting to look a little normal. I looked like I had a stroke on my right side, my smile was cooked in that I could not even hardly lift my top lip to show my teeth when i did smile. I had to go on vacation in Hawaii not being able to smile like I normally do. When i do not smile I look fairly normal. I am just so happy it is wearing off. I will never do any this or botox again, it is not worth the stress and heartache I have gone through. The first 3 weeks I had horrible anxiety attacks too and the spreading didnt stop until almost 4 weeks post injection. I hope you all are doing better.

I had been using botox for at least 8 years, but only getting it twice a year and recently not for about 14 months. I went to my plastic surgeon and he was now doing Dysport. I had it 8 days ago and am noticing that it is harder to raise the area just above the eye lid. I also feel a tightness in my upper ears and tightness in the back of my head. I never had this with botox. anyone know how long the effects last?

I had tightness more so on the upper left side and it has since gone away. It has been a little over 4 months
