- 5 Oct 2011
I had zero wrinkles on my face/eyes. When I would order a glass of wine at dinner I usually was carded. People have always commented on my youthful skin/ appearance.
I went to my Harvard grad dermatologist that was voted "best" Dr. and when I asked if there was anything I could do to help wrinkles at bay he suggested dysport. He put it under my lash line on the lower lid.
By day three where my lower lid had touched my blue of my eye I could see about an eighth of an inch. When I smiled I noticed a large horizontal line where my cheek and eye meet. This used to be seamless. I called my dr and he had me come in. He took photos and said he gas never seen this before. He said all I could do was wait 2-6 months for it to wear off. In the mean time I could not smile, every day the bunching under my eyes got worse. My face is destroyed and now I look a min of 10yrs older.
This has been the worst ordeal of my life and I have lived through a lot. I have always known things happen as they should and I always have a bright sunny disposition, but that is gone. I used to smile all day and was told daily my smile and live of live changed people's days. Now I refuse to smile because I am afraid it will cause permanent damage because of the deep lines that form when I smile.
Please never ever have dysport close to your eye. I think only above your eyes on your upper forehead not under two inches from your eyes. Why would we want anything under our eyes to fall? I trusted my Harvard dr with my life and he ruined my life. Please learn fom my mistake.
I had dysport done on June 22. I have seen zero improvement and my skin around my eyes is worse everyday. I am going to a plastic surgeon on October 18.
If you have not done this please don't and if you have do you have any advice? I have never felt more alone m, more depressed or more uglyin my life.

It ruined my face/ life
******Dysport is a prescription injection for temporary improvement in the look of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines) in adults less than 65 years of age.
UM, CLEARLY THE INJECTORS ARE GETTING A LITTLE CRAZY WITH THIS STUFF. Take care guys. PS i copy and pasted these things directly from the official Dysport USA web site. xoxoxo
********Common Side Effects
The most common side effects are nose and throat irritation, headache, injection site pain, injection site skin reaction, upper respiratory tract infection, eyelid swelling, eyelid drooping, sinus inflammation, and nausea.
OF THE SIDE EFFECTS ABOVE I HAD 6
*******Spread of Toxin Effects: In some cases, the effects of Dysport and all botulinum toxin products may affect areas of the body away from the injection site. These effects can cause symptoms of a serious condition called botulism. Symptoms of botulism can happen hours to weeks after injection and may include swallowing and breathing problems, loss of strength and muscle weakness all over the body, double vision, blurred vision and drooping eyelids, hoarseness or change or loss of voice,
I HAD ABOUT 4 OF THE ABOVE SYMPTOMS
I WOULD SAY MANY OF US HAVE HAD THESE SIDE EFFECTS AND IT IS REALLY LAME THAT THESE INJECTORS ARE LEAVING THOSE IMPORTANT DETAILS OUT. I POSTED THIS SO WE CAN KNOW IT IS NOT "ALL IN OUR HEAD"
We will make guys.......xoxoxoxox
allergan/medicis isn't putting that info in there for educational purposes. its for legal purposes. their intent with that is to avoid legal liability and nothing else. it is clear that doctors are not being taught this information or exposed to it, becuase many of them claim to never have heard of it. //
when they are taught by the manufacturers how to use the product on their patients, they are also taught what to tell patients in terms of adverse effects.. (that its not related, that its 'natural aging', that we 'forgot what we look like', that they have 'never seen this before') thats why all our doctors have the same answers when we go to them with our problems. the manufacturers are not honest with the injectors.. and the little information the injectors are given, they then lie about that, when they talk with their patients, becuase the more everyone lies, the more money gets spent.... bottom line. so everyone is lying to different degrees. but the manufacturers are the original liars becuase they are the ones responsible for doing the research to make sure the product is safe, and educating injectors on proper/safe use.
they will put a little info in their warnings, for legal liability reasons, when they are absolutely forced to, but that is the absolute tip of the iceberg in terms of what people need to know about the true effects of this stuff. there have been studies done that show the true effects, and when those findings have been negative, for instance that it -does- cross the blood brain barrier or that it frequently causes worsening of wrinkles, or that it does spread in the body and do extensive nervous system damage, sometimes lasting many years, when they literally pay people to suppress such negative findings out of medical journals, they are withholding information that injectors need to properly treat patients and provide adequate informed consent.
so because the manufacturers actually pay people to suppress these negative findings out of the medical literature completely, honestly the truth is some doctors honestly just dont know..... the smarter doctors who do know, will pretend they dont, as that is what they are taught, so they will sell more toxin. //
the mafia could learn a thing or two from how allegan/medicis pushes these drugs. // if iyou read the magazine ads the ads still say, even after all those warnings you quote above, they still say: 'there has not been one confirmed cause of spread of the toxin away from injection site' so read the reviews here. what planet are they living on that they can say that? they say that because there have been thousands of cases. there just have'nt been any -confirmed- cases. its all about legalese and this is why our doctors, say theyve 'never heard of' what happens to us. then they can all pretend, there are no confirmed cases. //
pretty fun stuff huh.
anyway hope you are feeling better soon and stuff. there is no figihting a billion dollar corporation like allergan/medicis, im quite sure they would literally kill people (yeah like little children with cerebral palsy) to keep that money rolling in. but information is what will defeat them. nothing can stop smart people from learning, and spreading, the truth. that is what will defeat them. so take care! :>> hope you are doing well.
doctors say its in your head, why do they say that? the answer to that question, that -is- the big picture.
Yes I would practically fall over and fall asleep. Extreme exhaustion. Bad headaches. Stomach pain. I was loosing weight but looked ill. Skin looked like it was falling off even my daughter asked me what was wrong with my face and she had no idea. I was sick for a couple months. Feel better soon.
