I got dysport injection today for crows feet. 36 units total.I got an area that looks like a swollen vein. I was concerned so I lft a message for the dr. In the mean time. I looked online. I am seeing horror stories, now I am nervous I made a mistake by getting it. I always get med side effects I am concerned because it says Side effects may not be sudden, may be weeks for onset. Can someone please tell me how common all the horrible effects are..dyasport moving in to other areas, pvcs etc.

Answer: Dysport causing swollen vein? I have never seen a neuromodulator cause a swollen vein. Most often this would represent a small bruise or hematoma of the orbicularis muscle which would be self limited. Cosmetic doses of Dysport, Botox or Xeomin rarely spread beyond the muscle that they are injected into. Systemic side effects typically require about 10 times the dose used for wrinkles. Definitely followup with your physician injector if you continue to be concerned. I hope this information is helpful for you.Stephen Weber MD, FACSDenver Facial Plastic Surgeon

Answer: Dysport is an extremely safe drug, don't worry An enlarged vessel around the eye was probably there before. Dysport shouldn't cause an issue, even if injected into a vessel. It might cause a bruise around a vessel. "Horror Stories" are usually related to either a poor injector, side effects unrelated to the injection but attributed by the patient to Dysport, or use of a counterfeit drug. Dysport is very safe and there is no sense worrying at this point.
