This is a follow up question and update. I had 35 units of Dysport in my glabella and forehead and it's now 9 days later and no change at all. My question now is since there is no change can that mean it doesn't work for me and should I try botox instead? Can you mix Dysport and Botox? What should I be concerned about if anything?
Answer: Not enough Dysport Thank you for the question. I think you should go with more Dysport. Sometimes there is a threshold effect, and you need to get a critical number of units into the muscle before it "gives" and relaxes. I don't think you are quite "there" yet. I don't think you had enough neurotoxin to label you a "non responder" yet, and would stick with whichever is the most economical for now. Good luck!

Answer: Appearance after Dysport/Botox Thank you for your post. It may be best to stick with an experienced Board Certified injector who you are comfortable with and can have follow-up and repeat evaluations with so you are on the same page. Dysport/Botox will typically begin to "kick in" after 4-7 days, but some may see results earlier. The full effect is usually seen after 7-10 days so then would be a great time for a follow-up with your injector if you are not getting the results you desire. Additional injections may be given then as a "touch up" if more correction is desired/needed. Dr. Benjamin J. Cousins MD Board Certified Plastic Surgeon Miami/Miami Beach
