Why is my glabella (Dysport treated) having involuntary muscle movement and unevenly swelling up when pressure is applied?

Question

About 2 months ago, I got Dysport in 11’s, forehead, & eyebrow area w/great result. Recently washed face & applied pressure to glabella & eyebrow area. Suddenly, these areas got unevenly swollen. Glabella involuntarily contracted making 11’s & froze like that for few secs. Now when pressure is applied to glabella, no involuntary contraction of 11’s occurs, but glabella still has slight involuntary muscle sensation, bumpy/uneven swelling, & redness for few secs. This stops quickly. What is cause?

Thanks for your question. My guess is that you're Dysport is wearing off and some of the muscle movement has returned to part of the glabella muscles. I suggest you see your injector for an evaluation.Good luck. Dr. ALDO

Thank you for your question. It is difficult to give you advice without examining you in person. However, it is possible that your Dysport treatment is starting to wear off. I recommend having a follow up with your injector for an evaluation and to discuss any concerns you may have. Best of Luck!

It's hard to say without evaluating you in person. It is possible that the Dysport has started to wear off.
