Had Botox tweaked, but why is the bridge of my nose wider now and my eyes still look smaller?

Question

Why do I look different and tired? August 9th I had dysport injected in my upper forehead. I started forming a V, giving me an angry look. I went to see my dermatologist on day 12. She insisted on tweaking it saying it wasn’t going to improve much in 2 days. This time she used botox because dysport can migrate. She injected inbetween my eyebrows/on nose bridge, above right eye to correct Spock look and near left eye/eyebrow. 8 days now, I still don’t look right. The bridge of my nose looks wider, my eyes look smaller, tired look.

Botox and Dysport results can take up to 2 weeks and can be softened with venus legacy and thermage treatments. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer

Thanks for your question, It sounds like you've not gotten the best placement of the product. Without a picture, I cannot tell the final outcome. Keep in mind these treatments will wear off in 3-4months and it will lighten up as time goes by. I would encourage you to try another treatment at around that time with maybe a different injector. Hope this helps and God Bless!Dr. Robb Jr.

Thank you for your question. It is hard to tell without having a photo. However, both dysport  and botox wear off in about 3-4 months and the difference in facial features may diminish significantly. I would steer away from getting any more injected for the 3 month period to see if the changes in your face fade.
