Can I get extra shots to correct this ugly looking? How many units of dysport should be used to treat the glabella and the forehead?
Answer: New wrinkles
First--to reassure--this will resolve as the effects of your treatment wear off. You won't get permanent wrinkles.
Some conservative treatment with botox/dyport can help with the appearance for now. Whenever I don't achieve the expected or ideal result with my patients, I do my best to fix the problem for free, and explain exactly what's going on. If you initially saw a plastic surgeon who you think is experienced, go back to her or him and they should be able to help improve the current look. If you get the sense this was due to injector inexperience, consult someone who can do better.
Dealing with complications--our own and those of other physicians-- is one of the more challenging parts of being a surgeon. It's also one of the most important.
Best and Happy New Year.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Upper Face Muscle Balancing Critical To Excellent Dysport Results The injection of neuro-modulators like dysport looks deceptively simple, but skill and techqnique are required to get an excellent result. A good result means softening of your wrinkles, good balance of the muscles of facial expression so that you do not have a peaked brow, deeper isolated wrinkles, brow drooping, or eyelid drooping. In your case, the frontalis muscle was overblocked centrally and not at all laterally making the lateral wrinkles more obvious. A touch of dysport laterally will soften these lines. You do not want them completely corrected as it will drop your eyebrows and make your eyes look tired. Express your concerns to your injector and ask for correction. Dysport is a great product in the hands of a skilled injector.

Answer: How to Correct an Overtreated Forehead
Thank you for your question. It appears that quite a bit of Dysport was used to smooth your forehead. The only area which appears not to have been treated is the area above your outer eyebrow. When Dysport or Botox are injected into the forehead, the muscles in the area of injection are paralyzed. The outer brow tends to lift upwards giving a more dramatic arch. In your situation, your outer brow wrinkles can be softened with a tiny dose of Dysport into each brow area. Your doctor should consider a very tiny dose, because if too much is injected, your outer brows will fall. I would also suggest speaking to your doctor and see what he/she feels. Best wishes!

Answer: Raised eyebrows after Dysport treatment
Hello, and sorry to hear about the issue you experienced following Dysport treatment. In general, side effects from Dysport injections can include the following:
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
Duration and onset of side effects can vary from patient to patient, but generally will subside following a over a few weeks to months.
In addition to these side effects, the brow can be elevated. You can have another treatment to help fix your issue. In your particular case, about 5 units of Dysport can help relax the brow to a normal position. It is important you choose an experienced injector for this, as you do not want the injections to be overdone. This may cause brow or eyelid ptosis to take place, and leave you with an entirely new problem. I hope this helps, and good luck to you!

Answer: Dysport
This can be a common occurrence with both Botox and Dysport. Often times a conservative treatment just above the active areas can help to soften the area.
