Did Dysport Travel into my cheek, lower jaw and part of my neck or can it be nerve damage?

I had Dysport injected as a touch up 2 weeks after 50 units. Had between my eyes done and crows feet. Immediately after I was injected between the eyes I felt a weird feeling in my cheek and then upper portion of my mandible. The doctor says he never heard of this but the left side of my face feels very bizarre. Like the Dysport travelled into my nerve or muscles.I'm becoming frightened there is permanent damage. What happened and if and when this will resolve? I had the injections 5 days ago

10 units of Botox to the glabella is nothing. No wonder you didn't see results. 10 units of Dysport is the equivalent of a little over 3 units of Botox. So you'd basically be adding nothing to nothing. The glabella usually requires between 20-25 units of Botox for adequate results. Some people...

Dysport cannot cause Acne, and will actually help with Acne. I suspect perhaps a numbing cream or the skin prep may be setting things off. Best, Dr. ALDO

Yes, this series of wrinkles will go away once the product wears off. This usually takes 3 to 4 months after the injection. Dysport and Botox are safe, but require an experienced injector to place the medication where it will do the most good and without side effects. Best, Dr. ALDO

Thanks for this question. Your symptoms sound concerning, but I'm not sure it was the Dysport. Perhaps something related to the bruising in the eyelid area. You need to see your physician and discuss your symptoms. Best, Dr. ALDO

I agree this is most likely the skin prep and not the Dysport. I believe your symptoms will get better soon. Otherwise, speak with your injector. Best, Dr. ALDO
