I had 30units of dysport in between my brows. 1month later had 60unit added my forehead n brows. A week later the pa recommend restylane. Had 1/2 of syringe. Had a allergic reaction three days later still have swollen n.puffy eyelids,trouble swallowing. My dr put me on prednisone for a week. How long typically will these symptoms last? Would u recommend me getting dysport again since my attack came after the resytlane? Thank u

Answer: I had an allergic reaction to restylane. My eyelids are swollen and am having trouble swallowing. Is dysport the same drug? Restylane is a hyaluronic acid filler used to fill in folds, hollow areas, and some wrinkle areas. Dysport is a botulinum toxin to relax muscles that cause wrinkles. They are completely different products with different intended purposes and mechanisms of action. Occasionally folks can have reactions to hyaluronic acid fillers. If local area problems (swelling) persists around the filled areas then enzyme can be injected to dissolve the filler and allow your body to "clear" it. I've never heard of a facial filler causing swallowing problems and don't believe it is related. Very large dosages of botulinum toxin to the neck can cause some swallowing issues, but not generally for facial injections. If your swallowing issues worsen then definitely see a physician asap (e.g, ER if you have to) to see what is happening. I would not get dysport until your swelling improves and your swallowing issues are fully resolved. Botox can be dangerous for certain patients that have myasthenia gravis or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Many of the hyaluronic acid fillers continue to absorb water and can swell to a maximal amount for the first few days following injection. Best regards.

Answer: Are Dysport and Restylane the same thing Dysport and Restylane are absolutely NOT the same thing and don't have any of the same ingredients. If your reaction came after the Restylane and nothing happened after either Dysport treatment, I can't imagine there being a scenario where the Dysport is the issue.
