Well what a depressing 4 yrs it's been! This is the last post I'll write.. (Unless the face fairy pays me a visit and repairs my face haha)
My face never recovered. The damage to my muscles was clearly more then my body's ability to heal.
Hope any of you guys suffering have had a better healing process than me.

I'm a little over two years out, my face never went back to normal. I have more wrinkles than ever and aged at least 10 years. I wear big sunglasses when I'm out so people don't notice that I have deep bags now and the forehead wrinkles and 11's are very deep. I regret daily for ever letting them talk me into this poison.. I have found many people on here are good support. Made good friends!

Just thought I'd write an update. Firstly, disfigurements, muscle wasting, dents, dropping etc, are and can be permanent, FACT! I know this, because i am proof. My face never returned to normal, and it never will. I had to have filler under my eyes because of the hollowness, it worked for me, but I still don't look anything like I used to. The saggy skin, hollow checks, the dents, are all still present. My advice to anyone considering dysport. -don't.

Did Botox cause all the problems and Dysport too? I seem to have missed the part where you used Dysport. I wish all these toxic, harmful substances would be banned, and cigarettes too, they are killing us, destroying our looks, health, lives, and environment, toxic nation. What are the alternatives? I can't age gracefully, help!!!!

Dysport/Botox are both toxins. They are very similar! Stay away from it if you haven't used it. Way to many side effects. Age gracefully and run away fro this poison! Read all my stuff it has destroyed me and many others!!!

What kind of filler did u use? Been thinking of doing it. As Dysport destroyed my face and more!

Had filler in tear troughs.

So it's been almost 3yrs now.. I can confirm my muscle atrophy is permanent, along with all the other Shitty side effects that dysport did to me. Anyway, I had restylane injected in the tear trough area etc just over a week ago and I'm very happy with the result. Bruising and swelling has gone, and it's definitely improved the under eye area. I had 1.4 of a syringe in under the right eye, and 0.8 under the left eye. Like I said before, the right eye was the most affected by dysport (and that was proven by how much filler I had to have) either way I'm happy with the result. my face is still no where how it was before, but its a start. I went to the milo clinc (London Harley street) it cost me £1200 which is quite expensive but Dr milo is apparently the best in England for this sort of procedure (and the only person il ever trust with my face after what happened with dysport) I still need another syringe between the two eyes, going back for that on the 1st June. Then il make a strart on my saggy upper eye lid hollows, deflated cheeks, then temples. All in all, I will probably spend £4,500 repairing my face, over a £300 dysport injection! Anyway, hope you guys are healing better than what I am :) wishing you all the best xx

Sounlucky, almost everything you are explaining happened to me. Including what you call "stains" -are they dark streaks/ patches on your face?? If so, that is where your muscles are still paralysed. I still have the dark areas on my nose, eyes, between my brows, outta corners of my eyes, and under my brow too, the bit just under my brow is still flat 3ys later. Dysport changed the shape of my eyes, nose, cheeks, and brows. Snap! In the cold my face looks shrivelled, and in the warm, puffy. Babe I can't promise you your face will ever go back to normal (because mine didn't)but I can say this, your face will improve over time. Things will push out, your eyes will look less sunken etc. please don't give up hope you are at 9months, -that was one of the worst times for me. It got worse and worse after that too, then it started to improve about the 1.5yr mark. You hopefully will improve much earlier tho. Pm me and I'll give you a call, we can have a chat about things xx

Aloha to both of you. I feel terrible for both of you and myself included. I live in Hawaii & nit many great PS to choose from but I am still myself trying to get back to normal. This has shook me to my core on top of facial damage such as dents hollow temples etc. I am ill. I seem to be getting a little better as I was unable to have bowel movements but since I have not gotten botox for about 7 moths now and let me tell you I was an avid user of botox. I finally put all my symptoms together plus my gastro Dr agrees that the Botox paralyzed my intestines, good news is with the Botox wearing off that part seems to be getting a bit better so I am hopeful. I am shocked thou that everywhere i look, read TV the advertising for Botox. I am fearful so many people may get so sick and depressed that people may hurt themselves I hope the drs that shoot this poison in people have to be honest as mine lied to me. I asked if it was safe and if the side effects could hurt me, no lie every Dr said NOPE! Only recently have they come out with all of the damage it may cause including what you are saying however I have not seen the stains you are referring to. I so hope you or all of us get better! These Drs owe us an explanation our lives have been turned up side down. I hope you do not mind me writing to you but I am devastated as my life the quality of my life has been horrific now for a very long time years! These Drs must tell us the truth, they have taken oaths to not ever cause harm knowingly and they have and still are.
Take care & if you would keep me posted I will do the same. I'm having an upper GI this next week so they can see the damage in my gut throat etc. I will post about the findings. I am thinking hoping with time we will get better!!
Good luck
May 8, 2015
Aloha to you too! Oh dear sounds like you've been hit hard with all of this. In truth nobody knows the 'true' extent of the damage Botox can cause. Doctors dismiss our claims like we're all crazy ladies who are completely obsessed with our looks etc.. Yeh, yeh, blah blah blah, heard it all before! Fact of the matter is, nobody knows our faces & bodies like we do ourselves. I'm glad you're starting to feel a bit better, and hoping you'll be back to your old self very soon. In the meantime, don't give up hope & try to stay positive darling. Sending you get well wishes xx

Hi knacks, I went to cosmodoc in Kensington London. -they completely f*cked up my face!
May 8, 2015
Aloha! Girls, I really hope we this nightmare will end one day for us, you are right B.B we need to stay positive and believe it will get better, but after 9 months of reall hell it is so daaaamn hard, especialy when you so much expecting to start being better and instead you see only worse , I will try harder ,I hope in my case will start being better like in yours, you know, to be honest I could wait years if I only knew that one day I will look completely like before.. but I know it is not possible , not in my case, I will be thankful if at least it will get good enough to recognize myself a little bit..
Im so happy you do feel and look better now, it must have been the longest 3 years for you..wish I could see your photos my dear, I bet you are as beautiful outside as you are inside :) I wonder sometimes why this horrible experience happen to such a lovely people,I would't wish this hell even to enemy but it is just so not fair..
Anyway, I pray for all of us and I will continue till we get out of this hell. The worse torture is my face, other symptoms seem to come and go, then come again but as bad as it was even still 2 months ago, have other instead, but I could lhandle it more than my ugly face. Hope this will start improving too. B.B it would be great to talk on the phone, I will send u my number if I only find my password for realself to be able send private message. I cant send it without it for some reason :/ I will check tmrw morning cos it's quite late now :)
Thank you so much for cheering us up and have a lovely night xx

Dr. Leonard Yu he shot my face up like there was no tomorrow, shot Botox into my neck where the two bands are, my jawline plus my temples in between my eyes, forehead, above my eyebrows. I assume that is why I got droopy eyes. I went in to his office feeling sick and mentioned it, I had a migraine he said well this should help as Botox helps migraines he said I was like great! But did not mention if you have more than 15 migraines per month you should not get Botox which I did at the time, I of course blamed it on hormones. WOW no wonder I felt terrible plus the numbing agent he also shot me up with. Now this particular Dr. came in the room at his office with the pre-loaded needle so I really never saw the botox box so dumb on my part but I trusted him.
May 8, 2015
Oh dear.. you had many places injected, I had my forehead , between brows, above brows, around hairline, it did spread down my face and affected entire face. It paralized all the most
important places, my face first start falling then I have lost all my fat, now My muscles trying to come back but in all affected pllaces they dont hold my face, I am wrinkling all over, have so awful asymmetry everywhere, this morning my upper lip and around swelled up, looks like muscle
get oversized and puffy, I cry every single day, Im scared my whole face will get oversized like this as it is completely everywhere, I can see scars on my skin , huge on cheeks, will this mean it will get so puffy and oversized ?? How are your injected places improving? I cant handle it all. My injector
also lied about the risk and side effects, she has only said about headache, wish I could do to her the same and ruin her life like she did.
May 8, 2015
Sounlucky :( just wanna say, please keep your chin up and try to stay positive babe I know it's hard. Like I said, my face has probably improved 30% over 3yrs (so not much at all) the left side of my face has healed the most, the right side is still pretty much just as bad as it was 3 yrs ago. Right eye still looked sunken until a week ago when I had filler put under both eyes. If I was you I'd wait another 6 months and if you've still got that sunken look, go to a good doctor who specialises in tear trough treatment and get it done. You'll instantly lose that "sunken" effect. My face is still wrinkled, lopsided, hollow, dented etc but I can't bare to look at it anymore -that's why I'm havering filler treatment. My damage is permanent no doubt about it. I've gotta have all sorts of areas filled to plump them back out, (cheeks, templrs, upper eye, more under eye, my nose too) I waited almost a full 3 yrs to see if I'd heal (worst 3 yrs of my life!) I didn't heal, so that's why I'm going down the road of filler.. Il pm you with my number, so when u get your password reset you can call or text me, and hopefully I might be able to answer any questions you have (not that I'm an expert, it's just I've been suffering for 3 yrs, and seen my face go through all sorts of changes.) hugs to you babe xx
May 8, 2015
I thought the effects of botox wore off after 4 months. I had a terrible experience too but not as bad as yours, but 4 months later it seems to be getting back to normal. I'm shocked that it can last this long!
May 8, 2015
Knacks.. Well that's what the doctors want you to believe. There's loads of us on this site who've suffered majorly for months / years because of that [RS bleep]. My muscles have just wasted away because of the inability to use them. If a muscle is paralised for a long period, it atrophys :( bit like breaking your leg and having it put in a cast for a couple month, when the cast comes off the leg is smaller because of the immobilisation. [RS bleep] happens I suppose, and what's done is done. My muscles have wasted so badly that my only option is filler. Still, life goes on I suppose. Glad you're in the mend tho, wishing you a more speedy recovery x

Aloha Sounlucky78,
I feel your pain! I have been thru some pretty weird side effects also & I know they are real & scary. I hope my body & face return to normal as well. I did go see a PS to fill in some of the dents above my eyebrows with hyluranic acid which he said is clear not a milky color filler & what our own bodies make which should not cause anything like Botox has caused! he filled in around the temples and above the brows which looks much better, that maybe something you may want to look into, it will help build up your face, but he was in complete denial that botox caused any of my problems! All we can do is ban together & keep discussing this & keep each other posted on what helps us. I have surgery coming up just to see what is going on in my body & will post as to what we find out, I am nervous.Had a bad attack this last Friday scared the heck out of me, it did pass within an hour but my stomach & body felt like I had been hit by a car! I was soar the next day, my entire body hurt!!
Anyways I have found out that Botox is being used in the body for people that have problems with bladder control, it will paralyze the bladder muscle SOOOO this is a problem for anyone that gets constipated as it will make that problem worse which is what happened to me, but this is supposed to help people that may not have bladder control. My gastro Dr is investigating this as they use this procedure on children. I'm in such horror & shock because I got so sick! Can you imagine what may happen to these children? But I have so many questions that seem to go unanswered. I wish everyone well & on a good note I am now able to have a bowel movement so that means I am partially getting a bit better which means for all of us that have been hit with this poison we hopefully will have some relief I so hope!!

Aloha Lokilou! Thank you! It is good to hear some things are improving for you, my bowels are geting crazy, to be honest I now suffer from diarrhea and belly aches, I know what u mean, I had the same pain , I could not straight myself, the pain was terrible and i had no idea if it's my belly or back because it hurted around, I have never had worse pain since I gave a birth to my child! Id onle went away after some injection I got from doctor to relax muscles or something. I was thinking about fillers but so far I cant really because my face is changing daily, now it get puffed up all over but looks and feel so weird, puffy, loose and sagging, its not firmed at all, in cold gets stiff and sunken, in warm puffy and oversized, it has gone everywhere on my face so I really dont know what will I have to do, definitely will have to wait till it stops changing so bad. How long ur post injection? What surgery do you have coming up? I hope we will get better, it is a living in the hell right now.. keep posting, best wishes ! And my fingers crossed for your surgery!
May 12, 2015
Oh sorry I just saw now, your 7 months out, Im over 9 months and symptoms change , some comes back, some went away but my face gets much much worse, I think I could handle leg loss better than what is happening to my face..
May 16, 2015
Aloha sounlucky 78 had my surgery endoscopy so they can see what is going on! So so many issues (problems) I can't list them all my digestive/gut is a mess I have to go see about the good ole gallbladder so that is next not too much they can do but put me on proton pumps etc for the burning pain so my stomach can heal. Pulled out polyps out of my stomach which is not very common hmmmm wonder what could have caused that! Still think that the Botox has made all of these problems much worse or perhaps caused some of them but I am in pain pretty much everyday. Hard to eat & i Love to eat I just can't I get partially thru a meal & my stomach shuts off, its like something cuts off the food that tries to enter my stomach. Anyways I'm pretty bummed. Hopefully my stomach will heal but I will keep posting. I do plan to have my breast implants removed & replaced had a biopsy & the Dr that performed it slipped & thinks he may have ruptured my breast implants so another problem to think about! My God what next. I do know what you mean about your face changing. Swelling in different parts hollowness in others so frustrating. I just hope we all get get better and can enjoy life again!
Keep me posted how you are doing, I wish we knew how long we can expect this crap will last.
August 6, 2015
Aloha sounlucky78! I just returned home from the hospital I had my gallbladder removed! Dr said it was unusually large & was beat up pretty bad but this was supposed to be a pretty easy surgery! It was pure HELL still sick now my entire body feels like it has been ran over, now i am not a wimp I have been going thru some tough times but this takes the cake! I cannot seem to bounce back Dr was so surprised that I was still so sick I had to stay in the hospital. God I am just scared out of my mind that what I have done to my body, its like I cannot heal fast enough I was never like this or at least this bad! Something has changed & of course my face got all puffed up with all the weird dents I hate it!! Anyways I am hoping by removing the organ perhaps the botox stuck to it?? Maybe this is why it is so hard to recover from maybe any surgery here on out? I know what you mean with the temperature my face does the same thing. Ugh!! I am feeling terrible right now but again hopefully this will make me feel better! Good luck if you decide to do filler that is very tricky too I can have some odd after effects in the face, I also noticed that especially when it starts to wear off the hollows are just in other places on my face. Hmmmm I hope something good turns up that will help us. Keep me posted on how you are feeling. Well wishes!

Hi B.B.
What fillers did you decide to use?
What fillers did you decide to use?
August 21, 2015
It seems everything is toxic and dangerous, curious what fillers you trusted. Thanks. Still praying for you.
Thank you my darling. I 100% agree. Believe it or not the "doctor" was in fact a GP! Who worked for a company called cosmadoc..
That was my first, and last time I had, and will ever have dysport. Wish I'd just left my face alone. But I didn't.. X
