Hi I am 3 months from having dysport. As it has worn off, some -huge- new wrinkles appeared on the right side of my forehead. In the 'before' pics above, the right side of my forehead is totally smooth. There is just one small vertical line on the left side. (which ironically was the -only- thing I originally wanted to treat) now there are two huge, ugly, vertical lines on the right side too.... I'm very shocked. It looks WAY, WAY WORSE than it did before. What can I do? opinions? ideas? help!

Answer: Wrinkles after dysport or botox
If it's been 3 months, it may simply be time for another injection. Dysport or botox can not "cause" wrinkle. What may happen, is if you paralyze some muscles, other muscles may "take over" and appear more prominent. In this case, you likely needed more dysport from the start.

Answer: Worse after Dysport
Greetings~
It appears from your photos that in your before photo the muscles between your brows are relaxed and they appear contracted in the later/after photos. The idea of Dysport, or any of the neurotoxins, is that the injected muscles stay relaxed for a period of time (3-4 months). Having these muscles relaxed improves the appearance of a given area and makes lines appear smoother and wrinkles less deep. Dysport won't make you appear worse when it wears off but many patients do grow accustom very quickly to their new, smoother look and are quite shocked when it wears off. If your injector took before photos it could be very helpful in showing you what your contracted muscles looked like before. Nothing went wrong. Don't worry about it....you'll cause more wrinkles.
Good luck~
