Effects of Dysport to DAO- supposedly to help marionette lines (Photo)

Question

I had dysport injected on both sides of my chin, apparently, 'dao' to 'help' with marionette lines, which were barely noticeable before. Now I have very pronounced lines, whether my face is static or moving. Not only that, I can't speak properly, drink easily, and I am slightly drooling out of my right side. Will this be temporary?

Thank you for sharing your problems and photos. Yes, results (good or bad) usually last for 3-4 months following injection of Dysport. There is no treatment to hasten recovery. See only experienced physicians for further treatments.Good luck,

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

it sounds as if too much as injected and improperly.  Plus you really need more than just dysport for the DAOs , you are too far along with sagging and volume loss that fillers and/or face/neck lifting are really needed.  I suggest seeing a physician with experience to evaluate you.  unfortunately the dysport will take 3 months to wear off. I am sorry this happened to you. Best, Dr. Emer.

Depressor anguli oris muscle injections are okay but fussy.  Overdone, they have the potential to weaken the mouth which is a problem like you are experiencing.  This is temporary but the effects can last 4 to 6 months. There is no way to reverse the effect of treatment without simply letting it wear off.

Richard Ort, MD · Answer

I routinely treat the DAO muscle to help slightly raise the corner of the mouth.  This is often combined with filler to give the best results.  It is important to stay lateral to the corner of the mouth to avoid hitting other muscles which can affect the movement of the lip.  The good news is that Dysport and Botox effects wear off with time.  I recommend that you only see an expert for your injections.

The result is temporary but may not wear off fast enough for you.A recheck or second opinion will help.
