6 weeks ago I had 25 units in my glabella, half the recommended dose because I wanted to still have some movement and 20 in forehead. I hate the frozen look. I am starting to get a very slight movement in my left eyebrow but the right one is still frozen. I was hoping that because it was my first time and it's half the dose it may wear off sooner. Do you think I should start seeing movement soon or will I have to wait full 3-4 months. I was hoping it might come back at 6-8 weeks

Your treatment dosing was too conservative to treat those areas which may have contributed to the results not lasting longer. It's important to remember that Dysport units are not equal to Botox units. An approximate relation is three units of Dysport equates to one unit of Botox.
A typical dose for the glabella area with Dysport is 40-75 units so you were dosed on "the lighter side". Some people have a stronger response to neuromodulators than others and is not necessarily related to your petite stature. The effects from the treatment will gradually resolve over three...
The risk is low that your Dysport would have migrated from momentarily bending to pick up something. The recommendation is more directed at prolonged actions versus a momentary one. You can see final results from your treatment two weeks after injection.
