is it best to wait for Dysport to wear off or go back and try to fix the issue? (photos)

Question

Had Dysport 7 days ago in forehead and 11's. Now I have huge wrinkles above both eyebrows and still not smooth in the middle of my forehead. This was done by a board certified plastic surgeon. Should I go back for him to fix it or is it best to let it wear off? I'm scared it will look worse!!!

Aldo Guerra, MD · Answer

I recommend a two week follow up for all patients. It takes two weeks for any neuromodulator to have its maximum effect. I don't believe this is your final result and if the wrinkles are there beyond two weeks then they will need additional treatment. Your plastic surgeon did not do anything wrong - every person's anatomy is different and you're jumping the gun a little bit here. Best wishes, Dr. Aldo

It can take 1-2 weeks for final results with Dysport. If you're unhappy with your final results, you can have a touch-up of Dysport or Venus legacy treatments can help soften results. Dysport results will last 3-4 months in new areas of treatment. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for the question and pictures.   Given that two weeks hasn't passed yet, I would wait and then get a touch-up from your doctor if you still have these lines.  Just a couple of units above the brow should relax these lines.  Good luck!

Thanks for your photo and question. Dysport® can actually take up to 2 weeks to fully settle into place and create the desired effect, so I wouldn’t worry too much at this stage. If you’re still unhappy with your results in another week, I recommend visiting your injector for a touchup. Good luck!

Thank you for your question and submitting your pictures. It can take 10-14 days for neuromodulators such as Dysport to take full effect. It is not uncommon to see your condition as many injectors in an effort to avoid a heavy eyebrow will avoid injecting too far down. It is much easier to perform a slight touch-up than have a patient live with a heavy brow for 2-4 months. If your condition persists beyond 10 days, I suggest scheduling a follow-up with your physician for a touch up.
