Can Dysport cause a sinus infection behind the eye?

avamontanaAug 10, 2015
I had eyelid ptosos after having Dysport. It has since resolved, but I have had what I thought was migraine headaches behind that eye. My doctor diagnosed me with a sinus infection behind my eye, exactly where the Dysport had traveled to, along with a low grade fever. Antibiotics do not seem to be helping. I do not have any symptoms except throbbing pain behind my eye, and feeling like I have water up my nose. I'm pretty sure that this is related to the neurotoxin. Will it go away?

Thanks for your question. We utilize both Botox and Dysport. Some patients respond better to Botox, whereas others respond better with Dysport. Both are safe and effective.

The duration of your Dysport treatment will be based on the dosing and the activity of the muscle that you were trying to weaken.   Ultimately every individual will find the optimal dosing to get the result and duration that they are looking for.   One challenge of putting a higher...

Typically, patients will start seeing results after just two to three days, with maximum effects by about day 7-10, but some patients may take longer to see the effects.

Thank you for your question.  Once everything settles down, you may want to consider a small test prior to any future neurotoxin treatments.  In addition, Xeomin has the least amount of associated proteins and may be your best option.  Despite this, I would recommend trying a test...

I suggest getting only FDA approved treatments if you are in the US and this includes Dysport, Botox or Xeomin. Best, Dr. Emer.
