I had dysport injected in one horizontal line across upper forehead 3 days ago. My dermatologist only injected that line in 4/5 spots. Not sure how many units. The day after my injection I woke up looking angry. Today I look like the grinch. My eyes look smaller/face shape looks different. The doctor said to early to tell & to give it a week to evolve before getting more. I lost that softness I had before Botox. I’m worried, should I be? Do I need to give it 2 weeks? Will it go back to normal?

Answer: Botox to the forhead Thank you for your question! As stated by your dermatologist, I would wait 2 weeks to allow the Botox to settle in and work completely. Your forehead muscle controls how you lift your eyebrows. Botox works to paralyze this muscle is certain areas to allow subtle eyebrow moment and minimal wrinkles. There is a chance there was not enough Botox used and your lateral forehead is pulling your eyebrows up too high... causing you to look like Spock or The Grinch. If you are still unhappy in 2 weeks, I would return to your dermatologist. The affects of Botox last for 3 months, so your eyebrow and softness will return.

Answer: Grinch Brows after Botox/Xeomin/Dysport--Results Take 1-2 weeks Botox results take up to 1-2 weeks. I would wait up to 2 weeks before assessing results. Botox results last up to 3-4 months in new areas of treatment and can be softened with venus legacy treatments. See an expert. Dr. Emer
