I had dysport injected into my frown lines, and crows feet. On day 2 I had terrible dry eyes, but are getting better with the help of some basic dry-eye eyedrops.. I'm now into day 8 after the injections. The last couple of days I have been experiencing what I can only describe as heavy eyelids. To look at them, they look about the same, but feel as though I've not slept for days. It feels very uncomfortable. Will this pass? Do I have to wait for the full 3-4 months for the Dysport to go?

Answer: Ptosis after Dysport injections
Agree with the below. 1. it will go away faster than the 3-4 months the Dysport will last on the treated areas 2. go back to your injector to be evaluated 3. if it really bothers you, apraclonidine or phenylephrine drops can be used to help the eyelid heaviness. Best of luck.

Answer: Heavy feeling eyelids without heavy appearing eyelids after Dysport
The most common unwanted side effect of treatment with Dysport is heaviness of the brow and eyelids (called ptosis). It usually occurs if the lower forehead muscles are treated with Dysport preventing them from the holding the eyebrows in their normal position. The lower forehead muscles can sometimes be inhibited when the frown is treated because of localized spread around the injection site. The feeling you have may be the result of early, mild ptosis, or it may not be ptosis and it may just feel that way because certain muscles have been paralyzed and your brain is not used to feeling that way. Your brain will get used to the feeling if that's all it is. If it is early ptosis, it will probably wear off sooner than 3-4 months.
