I got 20 units of Dysport 3 days ago and my forehead down the side of my eyes and under my eyes feel heavy and stiff. I got the injections above my eyebrows and crows feet. My neck and shoulders also feel stiff. I have lost my appetite. And I have a tingling throat and niggling cough. So scared to go to sleep because I am so worried about symptoms worsening. Please help is this normal ? Will this pass?

Six units per side of Dysport should give you a conservative brow lift. This is a nice option for those who aren't ready for more aggressive interventions. Your final results are seen two weeks after treatment and should last about three to four months.
