Under Eye Hollow from Dysport, What Can I Do?

Make sure to follow-up with your injector regarding the results that you are experiencing and discuss changes for future treatments so that you decrease the unwanted results.

Thank you for your question. Make your injector aware of these side effects so they can change your treatment plan and individualize the injections based on this response. These temporary effects will improve was as the effects of Dysport diffuse. Be certain to be under the supervision of a board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon with expertise in injectables for an evaluation and for the safest and most effective treatments. I hope this helps.

Dear mdnpt,

-From your description, it sounds like Dysport may have been injected too low in the forehead and too low around the eyes

-Thankfully, these issues will be temporary and will start resolving as the Dysport wears off

-It is difficult to advise you any further without knowing exactly how much was injected and where it was injected, but in the end it should all be fine and let time heal these issues.

Best,

I'm very sorry to hear about your experience following the injections. A few things would need to be considered before coming to any conclusions about the cause of your issues.


1) Where was the Dysport injected? Depending on where the injections were, they may or may not contribute to the the symptoms you are experiencing.
2) Were there any other circumstances that may have lead to your issues, such as injections of filler or any other treatments?
3) Have you ever had a negative reaction to Dysport or Botox in the past?
4) Do you have any allergies associated with any components of the Dysport?

The typical side effects of Dysport may include:


1) Bruising
2) Headaches
3) Eyelid ptosis
4) An expressionless appearance - (if too much is injected, or the injections are not performed properly)
5) Minor swelling

When the muscles around the eye move, they are also “pumping” out excess fluid.  In some people, paralyzing these muscles with Dysport can cause fluid to build up around the eye. 

 

A little bit more information about the circumstances leading up to your reaction would be necessary to provide any additional advice. I would recommend following up with your physician who performed the injections. Thanks and good luck!

Thank you for your question.  I recommend following up with your injector for an evaluation and possible treatment. It is possible that the Dysport has spread to an unintended part of the eye. I suggest staying more lateral on the crow’s feet next time you have treatment. I do not believe your fatigue is related to your Dysport injections, but if it is it should resolve soon. Best of Luck!
