I recently had Dysport to my forehead and 11's and now have inner eyelid drooping. I had 50 units @ my 11's and 18 units across my forehead. This is the 2nd time this has happened with 2 different injectors.
Answer: Eyelid Droop After Dysport Unfortunately, you will likely need to wait for the Dysport to wear off. Dysport typically lasts 3-4 months, however it is possible that you may start seeing some improvement in your eyelid position within the first 6-8 weeks after the treatment. If you choose to continue Dysport injection, communicate your experiences with your injector as well as the amounts of Dysport used. You probably need a lower dose of Dysport when treating the glabellar area (the 11's) and higher placement of injection to the forehead.

Answer: Forehead treatment with cosmetic botulinum toxin will freeze your forehead. The frontalis muscle in the forehead make forehead lines but they also support the eyebrows. It is 100% foreseeable that injecting this muscle with botulinum toxin will weaken and freeze this muscle and cause the eyebrows to droop. Encourage your injector to train as a Microdroplet Lift injector. This method isolates treatment to the eyebrow depressors. The frontalis is not directly treated but the amount of work it has to do is reduced because the eyebrow depressors are weakened. This creates natural brow lift without the freeze.

Answer: Eyelid droop after neurotoxin injection Thank you for the question. Based on the information you provided, I would not recommend getting this area treated again. We all have an anatomic connection between the glabella and upper eyelid, but yours may be more robust than most given your outcomes. This will resolve with time, and there is a prescription eyedrop that your provider can write you to give you temporary relief until the upper eyelid motion comes back. Good luck!

Answer: Drooping Eyelid Thank you for your question. I am sorry to hear of the complication you have experienced with injection of the neuromodulator Dysport. By your description, it sounds as though the complication is coming from the injection of your glabella (11's) rather than your forehead. It is concerning that this has happened with two different injectors. This is usually caused by the placement of the injections. If not properly placed, the muscle that lifts the eyelid (levator palpebrae) can be effected resulting in ptosis or drooping of the eyelid. Another possibility is that the neuromodulator is able to move from the sight of injection through a soft tissue channel to effect the levator palpebrae muscle. If you decide to have the glabella treated in the future I suggest finding a very experienced injector and letting them know of your past problems. Starting with a lower dose would be appropriate as well. Once again, I am sorry to hear of your complication. I hope this was helpful - Dr. Moore.
