Is Dysport safe to inject in chin for Synkenisis?

Neuromodulators can be a great tool for improvement in synkenesis. The goal of the treatment is to modulate the strength of the muscles of facial expression in order to bring balance to the face as well as improve some of the pain that may be associated with increased activity in certain muscles. Be sure to confirm that your provider has experience in treating synkenesis and facial nerve disorders.

Neuromodulators are an option for treatment of facial synkinesis, however there are limitations for what can be achieved. Evaluation with an experienced injector who has detailed knowledge of facial synkinesis is advised.

Dysport is safe to have injected into the chin or mentalis muscle for dimpling or the peau d'orange "orange peel" look to the chin.  It is an effective neuromodulator for this area.  The most important thing is that you seek out an injector with a strong knowledge of the facial anatomy that can effectively treat certain muscles affected by the synkinesis and leaving others functioning to pull.  

I would consider it safe to have Dysport correctly injected into the chin.  This is not an uncommon area to have treated, whether it is for synkinesis or other issues.  

It is totally safe to get Dysport injected in the chin. It will simply relax the muscle in the chin which will eliminate or decrease the appearance of the dimple. Be sure to consult with your doctor to see how many units are right for you!

Synkinesis from Bell's palsy can be improved with Dysport. It is safe. It takes an experienced injector to treat sykinesis and asymmetries related to a facial nerve injury. In general, Dysport is extremely safe when injecting properly with correct placement and dosing. 

Hi! Thank you for your question. Yes! It is absolutely safe to inject Botox into the chin for synkinesis. Many Bell’s Palsy patients seek this very treatment to create a more symmetrical look. It is very important that you see an injector who is skilled in this type of treatment in order to create the most natural results. Results last 3-4 months on average.

Yes, it is safe to have Dysport injected in the chin.  Be sure that you see an experienced injector for this treatment.  The final results can be seen two weeks after treatment and will last approximately 3 to 4 months.

Dysport is completely safe to inject into the chin for Synkenisis and the chin dimpling you describe.  If you are sure to find an experienced provider, you should have nothing to worry about.  Loss of any facial functions will only occur if too much Dysport has been injected into a given area, so I always recommend using fewer units when first starting out with Dysport.   

Hi There,
Dysport to the chin is often safe and effective, as long as it's performed by an experienced injector. Results may vary based on the patient, and I have personally had patients whose chin dimpling does not go away completely with dysport or botox injection to the chin. Dysport to the chin should not lead to facial dysfunction as long as it is placed judiciously. As for neck tightness from Bell's Palsy, sometimes the neck muscles (platysma) can become overactive. Injecting dysport into the muscle can may be helpful as well.
Hope that helps!
