What to Do for Severe Headache After Dysport Injection & Brow Pexy Surgery?

User Avatar

Had Dysport injection to forehead above brow & between brow a week before upper bleph & brow pexy surgery. This was my first time to have any Botox type injection. 3rd-4th day after injection I experienced mild headache with heavy tired feeling in eyes with some blurry vision. It seemed to resolve 1 day before the surgery. Now, 8 days after surgery I've started having severe headache & fatigue. Not running any fever, incisions healed well with just minimal swelling. Will headache ever go away?

If it has been 3 months since your Dysport treatment, it may be time to have another treatment, since the effects of Dysport should last 3-4 months.

Dysport injections at the forehead carry the same risks and side effects as injections to other areas of the face, most of which are mild and temporary. Pain, bleeding, bruising at the injection site, and headache are some of the common side effects. Rarely, you may experience drooping/heaviness...
