Hi everyone, thanks in advance for your inrerest and help. I've previously had 1 unit of botox for a gummy smile which worked well. Recently however I was convinced to try dysport, the units are different and I was given the equivalent of 1 botox unit, at my 'review' visit I reported that my lip was doing this strange 'folding up' sort of thing when I smile. I want sure if it was too little, too much or the placement. They put another unit (equivalent to 1 botox in) yet still the same?

Answer: Lip folding and curling upwards up after gummy smile dysport?
A small amount of neurotoxin, Botox or Dysport at the border of the lip can create a slight lift but not additional fullness. It can also relax the vertical lines above the central lip border.
Alcohol before or after injections is not recommended as it can thin your blood and increase your risk of bruising. However, it will not alter the outcome of the Dysport and is ultimately up to the individual. Be sure to discuss pre and post instructions with your injector.
Causes include a low brow,injection near the brow,injecting the frontalis muscle but not the corrugators,overactive lateral orbicularis muscles,effect on the levator muscle.See the doctor who treated you to determine the problem - eye drops can help a levator problem.
