Can my eyebrows be fixed? I look like a frightened rabbit after Azzalure. (Photo)

Question

I had  injected into my forehead, side of the brows, side of the eyes, below the outer tail of the brows and right below my eyebrow near the nose, 4 days ago. The doctor did not treat the top of my brows. Now I look like a frightened rabbit. The area between my brows looks very stretched and the sides of my brows look a little droopy. My eyebrows used to have a natural arch which is now gone. I still have movement in the mid section of my forehead where my brows move upwards.

Its difficult to tell without a full facial picture and seeing your face while animating.  This being said, the "art" of botox is knowing the opposing vectors of pull from muscles. If your able to move the central part of your forehead and Dysport was injected below your medial brow, this would cause your medial brow to elevate as your frontalis muscle is still working to pull everything up.  This can be fixed by fully paralyzing your central and upper forehead.  As for the natural arch of your lateral brow, this again is likely due to paralyzing your lateral forehead and not also paralyzing the part of the orbicularis oculi muscle that sits just below the lateral 1/3 of your eyebrow.  If this is done, your lateral brow should raise a little and hopefully give you your arch back.  If these actions do not help, you will have to wait a few months for the Dysport to wear off and I would recommend seeing someone else with more experience.  Also, if your only 4 days out, I would give it a full 2 weeks to see the final result, as things may continue to improve.  Hope this helps!

I encourage you to wait two weeks from the time of your injection and then return to your injector for an evaluation.  It can take up to two weeks to see the final results from your treatment.  A touch up can be given if needed at that time.

Paul Flashner, MD · Answer

Yes this situation can easily be fixed by a qualified injector. Since it has only been 4 days, you should wait 1-2 weeks for the final result before doing any touch ups to the area. Dysport can have more migration than other neuromodulators but it should not make too much of a difference when injected into the correct muscle. I would wait it out and return to your injector to correct this for you.

Thank you for your question. The key to any neurotoxin injection is to be sure your are going to a well qualified, experienced injector that understands how they work and facial anatomy. Dysport can have more migration than other products but if it is injected correctly that should not matter very much. It takes 2 weeks for the full affect to be seen. I would get a second opinion for an expert injector, so that this wont happen to you in the future.
