Had Dysport a month ago and touch up 2 weeks ago and I have a droopy eyelid, any suggestions? (Photos)

Hi jenrae72, thanks for your question! Dysport, like Botox, is a neurotoxin that acts to relax the muscles in the face and reduce fine lines and creases in the skin.  Both Dysport and Botox can cause a droopy eyelid, also called a ptosis, if injected too low in the forehead.  There are certain OTC eye drops that can be used to lessen the effects.  The product only lasts so long, so patients can also wait a few weeks or months for the effects of the neurotoxin to wear off.  Hope this helps! 

Dysport is a wonderful neurotoxin to relax the muscles and in terms soften movement  lines on the upper portion of the face.  With that said, a droopy eyelid is a side effect of this product,which luckily is not permanent but still very bothersome for the patient.  If the eyedrops did not help,  you may need to let it run its course.  In the future, be sure to mention this to your injector so she or he can make some modifications on doses and location of injections.

Venus legacy and thermage treatment can help soften Dysport results. Dysport results resolve in 3-4 months. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

You do have some ptosis after Dysport. Dysport can spread a little bit more then actual Botox, but there are some eyedrops that you can have your doctor's office prescribe that will strengthen the upper lid muscle for 4-6 hours after the drops are applied. You can use that 4-6 times a day. The worst droopiness you will notice is around the 1 week to 10 days mark. With botox it is usually the two week mark and after that your muscle strength will go back to normal in approximately 6 weeks. 

Droopy eyelid is an uncommon adverse effect of neuromodulator treatment, including Dysport and Botox. It will resolve in few weeks if the neuromodulator migration is minimal. In the meantime, your doctor can prescribe eyedrops that temporarily elevate the eyelid. 

So eyelid ptosis is a common side effect from botox but from your picture, and I can't tell for sure without meeting you, it looks like you have a slightly heavier brow on the right than the left which makes your lid look droopy. This can be improved by lowering the left or picking up the right. If it is a truly droopy lid then iopodine eye drops can help very effectively in mild cases like yours. Hope that helps. Adam Goodwin

It is very unusual to have such a complication after Dyspot injection. Assuming that you did not have any problem before injection, the best thing to do would be to have consultation with an occuloplastic surgeon for some advise. Fortunately your condition will improve by passage of time.

This is self limiting, the good news is it usually resolves in 2 weeks or so as it's usually few Dysport units that made their way to the levator muscle of the eyelid 

There is nothing you can do aside from the naphcon drops which help give strength to a small lid muscle to reverse a lid drop. Unfortunately it will take a few weeks to wear off, they generally do not last as long as the botox for the other areas of your face ( 3.5-4 mo) and the lid starts go regains=n some strength but its still at least a month or two.
