Dysport: Stories

are you better now?

I got Dysport injected May 22 in my forehead and crowsfeet area. I got a black eye on the right side and besides that I felt fine. The week after I noticed my upper right side lip started to droop, my cheek was not as full and my lower eyelid was slightly drooping also. At the 3 week mark It got worse and the other side had it but not as noticable. I look fairly normal when I do not smile but if I do I look like I have had a small stroke. I had no idea it spreads like it does and if I would have known I would not have taken a chance putting it in my face. I am slowly improving, it is not as bad as I am doing a lot of muscle stregthening exercises to use those muscles, I am using an infared heat lamp on it, taking an oxygen inducing supplement and facial creams and wash that are oxygen based also. I can see more of my teeth when i smile and my face is not numb feeling in places that I felt before. It is so sad and depressing because it is your face. I am thinking positive thoughts and trying not to dwell on it also just not smiling and if I do covering my mouth. Reading here has helped me alot, and I suggest it for you. There is a lot of good advice and people that know exactly how you are feeling. Good luck :)
