Why is Dysport and Botox being done on patients over the age of 65 if this not approved by the FDA?

sheysa1
Dysport and Botox not approved by FDA after age 65. After it was done, I read on the Internet that FDA does not approve Dysport or Botox on patients over 65. Why is it that it’s being done anyway to people over that age? Including me? Is it legal? I am over 70 and got Dysport on areas to minimize rabbit lines (done by the nurse in my board certified plastic surgeon’s practice) and now have one eyelid throbbing at times. Will it go back to normal? Could there be permanent damage?
