Can Dysport be used as a filler?

Thank you for your question. Dysport is used to temporarily paralyze muscles and it is most commonly used to treat facial wrinkles. Dysport is not to be used as a filler. I recommend you follow up with your board certified plastic surgeon to discuss treatment options for fuller lips. 

No, Dysport is not like a filler. Rather, it is
similar to BOTOX Cosmetic and is used to minimize the "dynamic
wrinkles" caused by repetitive movement of facial muscles when our
expressions change throughout the day. These wrinkles form in the forehead, at
the corners of the eyes (crow's feet), and between the brows (worry lines), in
addition to other places. I would stick with JUVÉDERM to treat fine lines
around the mouth and to give you fuller lips. Restylane and Restylane Silk are
also good filler options for this area. Always make sure the person doing these
injectable treatments is supervised by a board-certified facial plastic surgeon
or dermatologist. Thanks for your question.

Thank you for your question.Dysport is a neuromodulater, not a dermal filler.  It is used to relax muscles as opposed to filling areas of volume loss.Hope this helps.

Dysport is used around the mouth for smoker's lines, but not as a filler. Relaxation of the pucker will smooth out many of the smoker's lines. Combining this with a filler can maximize the results.

Dysport is a neuromodulator like Botox and Xeomin. These products work by causing muscle weakness, thus diminishing fine lines and wrinkles. I commonly inject Dysport to the forehead, glabella, and crow's feet.  Fine lines around the mouth are best filled with Restylane Silk or Juvederm.  A consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate your concerns and develop a customized treatment plan is what I suggest.

Dysport is a muscle relaxer that stops you from forming lines where it is injected.  It can help reduce the lines around the mouth that are caused by movement.  It you are experiencing lines at rest you may need to consider Belotero or Silk to fill in the lines.  Skin resurfacing is another option to treat lip lines.  If you are looking to augment your red lip, then filler is necessary.  The type of filler used is dependent on the look you are trying to achieve. 

Dysport is not a filler and cannot be used as one. Dysport is a
neuromodulator similar to Botox that works by relaxing the muscles that cause
wrinkles in order to allow the skin to smooth out and dynamic wrinkles to be
reduced. For plumping the lips, a filler such as Restylane Silk is a much
better option. Fine lines around the mouth are a bit more complicated to treat
effectively, but options may include laser resurfacing, dermal fillers, or combination treatments. Sometimes we add a touch of Dysport to reduce
pursing of the lips, which leads to wrinkles. It also results in lip upturning,
which is youthful. However, it has to be
just the right amount, because too much will affect the smile. An in-person
consultation with a board-certified dermatologist who can evaluate your
concerns and come up with a custom and effective treatment plan is what I
suggest.

Dysport paralyzes the muscles in a given area, causing wrinkles to disappear. It is used for "dynamic" lines and should not be used to plump the lips. For lip augmentation, I like to use Juvederm; it is very soft and yields a great looking and natural result. I would recommend a consult with a board certified plastic surgeon, facial plastic surgeon, or dermatologist - each is a fantastic choice. I hope this information helps, and I wish you the best of luck. 

Thanks for your question. Dysport should not be used to plump up the lips. For lip enhancement, Juvederm/Restylane/Restyle Silk are good options. Find a board certified plastic surgeon or a certified nurse injector specialist.

Dysport is a neurotoxin that relaxes muscle and eliminates lines. Fillers are typically composed of hyaluronic acid and replace lost facial volume. Botox will not fill and fillers will not soften muscle movement. I hope this information is helpful for you.Stephen Weber MD, FACSDenver Facial Plastic Surgeon
