Can my upper and lower blepharoplasty be performed 2 weeks after Dysport in the crows feet and eyebrows?

Question

I planned my upper and lower blepharoplasty and possible correction of upper eyelids ptosis . I forgot I am having surgery in 2 weeks and I had dysport injection for crows feet and under my eyebrows last week. I amy doctor and he said there is no problem and he wants to go ahead with the surgery. Doesn’t that creat problem since my eye muscles are relaxed at the moment due to dyaport injection ? What are gonna be the complications if I do the eyelids surgery now?

Thank you for your question. I definitely recommend applying Botox injections at least three to four weeks prior to your blepharoplasty surgery. Also, avoid getting Botox until 4 weeks has passed after your eyelid surgery.

Jeffrey M. Darrow, MD · Answer

It is true that there is muscle relaxation after injection of Dysport or Botox. However, there is not a significant amount of skin sagging or laxity that occurs after the injection so if you wish to proceed with your blepharoplasty procedure, your results should not be affected.

Kenneth D. Steinsapir, MD · Answer

However, I would strongly advise against having surgery now. I strongly recommend that you postpone surgery for at least 4 months. It is impossible to accurately perform ptosis surgery in this circumstance. You are putting yourself at substantial risk of complications. I recommend advising your surgeon what happened and getting yourself rescheduled.

William Portuese, MD · Answer

If you are performing cosmetic upper and lower blepharoplasty, it's acceptable to undergo the procedure having had dysport two weeks ago. If you're trying to undergo ptosis repair, that should probably be postponed for several months until the dysport has worn off.

Different providers will have different opinions on this.
Neurotoxins can change the brow position.
This intern can have a slight impact on the upper eyelid.
Probably not going to have a major impact on the assessment during surgery.
