I normally have 3 areas of my face injected with Dysport. This includes an injection under each eye and on both sides of my nose. During my recent visit I was shocked to receive a dreadful bruise under one eye. My specialist realised he'd bruised me and inquired as to whether I was taking fish oil tablets or aspirin to which I replied I wasn't. I was wondering if the under eye area is prone to bruising due to too many blood vessels? Also I have more lines now on my nose. Is this normal?

Answer: Dysport and Bruising
Bruising is always a risk and especially around the eye area. It is unfortunate but can happen. You may just need more Dysport to soften the remaining wrinkles. Don't give up on the Dysport, this does not mean it does not work anymore for you.

Answer: Bruising with Dysport injections
the skin under the eye is extremely thin, and the blood vessels are quite fine and close to the surface of the skin, so bruising can be seen in this area. As for the lines on the nose, do you mean that you feel as though you have more wrinkles there than before the treatment? It takes 7-10 days to see the effects of Botox or Dysport. Given the extent of your bruising in your photo, I'm guessing that you were injected relatively recently? Give it some time to see the effect near your nose.
