Everyone is a little different, but the effects of dysport can last from 3 months to sometimes even 6 months. This is always a risk with dysport or botox around the mouth, which is why I'm very selective and conservative with neurotoxin treatments in this area.

I'm sorry to hear of the issues you have been having since your Dysport treatment.  The effects from the product are temporary.  Most patients notice it wears off gradually over three to four months, although some patients report it can take up to six.  I hope you will find improvement over the coming weeks.
