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?

Answer: Dysport side effects Thank you for your question. I would find it very unusual for your symptoms to be caused by Dysport. To begin with, 20 units is an extremely low dose. We treat most areas with 50 to 60 units. Second, your symptoms are quite a distance from your injections. Possibilities for it to relate to your injections would include being injected with a substance other than Dysport. There were some well reported cases in the U.S. where individuals were injected with another substance reported to be Botox that resulted in paralysis. Another possibility would be that the Dysport unmasked an underlying neuromuscular disorder. Beyond this, I cannot think of a relationship to your injections.I hope this was helpful - Dr. Moore.
