I had 25 units of Dysport injected into forehead as well as 50 units of Dysport into glabella. I am 13 days post injections. I have a dropped, caveman-like brow on both sides, heavy eyelids. There seems to be eyelid swelling as well. I cannot move eyebrows at all. I know the effects can last up to 3-4 months. My question is this: When can I expect to regain even a little eyebrow movement and some lifting of the brows? I’d hate to think I will be like this for the entire 3-4 months.
