Will my Dysport migrate after bending over twice and picking something off the ground immediately after Dysport injections?

Question

I got Dysport in my forehead, above eyebrows, crows feet, 11's, and bunny lines. Immediately after injections, I bent over to pick something up two separate times. One of those 2 times, I actually bent over to pick something up off the ground. Since this happened immediately after Dysport, what's the likelihood of my Dysport migrating? If migration occurred, how soon will I be able to notice?

With any botulinum toxin you should not lie down for 3-4 hours or you can get migration of product which causes a facial droop. Picking something off the floor is fine, it is not sustained lying down. So don't worry. Hope this is helpful. JB

The risk is low that your Dysport would have migrated from momentarily bending to pick up something.  The recommendation is more directed at prolonged actions versus a momentary one.  You can see final results from your treatment two weeks after injection.

As long as the Dysport was properly administered, you should not have much to worry about. As a general precaution, I usually recommend my patients refrain from any extra activity for 4 hours following Dysport injections and avoid strenuous activity for at least 24 hours.  The increased blood flow caused by briefly bending over should not be enough increase the risk that the product will be flushed out of the treated area before it has been able to take effect.
However, if you still have concerns about your treatment, I would recommend following up with your doctor to discuss any and all questions or concerns you have.

Thank you for your question. No, your Dysport will not migrate from bending over. However, it is advisable to not lay down for 4 hours after injection and workout for the first 24 hours. Please remember it can take up to 2 weeks to see the maximum effects of Dysport. If you have any other concerns please follow up with your injector. Best of Luck!
