Good news is that the effects of Dysport will wear off in about 3-4 months. The drooping may resolve sooner than this.
Greetings~ Sorry to hear about your unfortunate Dysport experience. When treating between the brows to address the vertical scowl lines, we are treating the muscles that run horizontally over the brow and when they contract create the vertical lines. If instead of injecting those muscles part of the frontalis muscle (the muscles responsible for raising the eyebrows) is injected and weakened the brows can fall and flatten. Though the effects of Dysport generally last 3-4 months, unwanted outcomes such as this generally resolve much sooner. (a few weeks) The good news is, it will wear off. Hang in there. Good luck~ Dr. Grant Stevens
The droop usually lasts for a much shorter time than does the treatment and often resolves within two weeks on its own. If needed you can use the drops already described to try to shorten the process.
Thankfully all botulinum toxins are temporary in their effect in this case. It wears off within 3-4 months, although it actually takes longer to fully recover. None the less, the heaviness will resolve sooner then later.
Luckily your eyebrow or eyelid droop will resolve when the Botox wears off. This can last several weeks to several months but will resolve completely. You can use several types of drops to elevate the eyelid if you're suffering from eyelid droop - these include apraclonidine, neosynephrine hydrochloride and brimonidine. These medication do have side effects so I would recommend discussing with your injector.Stephen Weber MD, FACS
Given your reaction, I would avoid any of the botulinum toxins. To the best of my knowledge, there is nothing that would make one toxin more likely to spread then the other. However, it is possible that you had an intravascular injection with systemic spread.
It appears that you may have had a reaction to the product. I would encourage you to contact your physician who treated you to inform them of what you experienced.
Dysport, like Botox, is a neurotoxin that prevents the release of a chemical that causes muscles to contract. Thus, it produces a smoothing of wrinkles and lines on the face. Allergies are very uncommon and almost unheard of with these products - but not impossible. The products have some di...
No, I don’t recommend that people with MS get any kind of neurotoxin whether it is Dysport or BOTOX. For more information on these products, visit my website.
Dysport usually starts to work in one to two days, and it usually reaches its full effect in about 10 days. The median number of patients treated see results by day three. In other words, half of the patients treated with Dysport see wrinkle- soothing results before day three and half see...
Since you have been using Botox, and since Botox and Dysport units are NOT the same, I think it's perfectly reasonable for the PA to recommend a possible touchup visit about 2 weeks after your initial Dysport injection. After all, it's better to add a few more units after two weeks...
