Is There Anything I Can Do to Reverse a Really Bad Dysport Injection?

Unfortunately, the effects of Dysport cannot be reversed. The only thing you can do is give it time for the Dysport to wear off. The effects of Dysport usually last for 3-4 months, but the unwanted effects such as drooping/ptosis don't tend to last as long. Usually the drooping should improve in 1-2 months. For droopy eyelids, your doctor can prescribe eyedrops that can lift and open the eyelid a bit so that they appear less heavy. Contact the person who did your treatment so that they can properly evaluate you and also take note of the drooping so that it may be prevented in the future.

Any side effects experienced are associated with the injection site, and may include the following:

 

1) Slight bruising
2) Swelling
3) Temporary ptosis (drooping of the eyelid)
4) Allergic reaction at the injection site
5) Muscle stiffness near the injection site
6) Headache

Ptosis typically occurs in 1-5% of patients. If you experience ptosis following the injections, there is an eye drop, an alpha agonist, that can be placed that will temporaliy raise your lid.  If the eyebrows dropped and lost their arch, an experienced Botox injector can inject the muscles pulling down the eyebrow to help you regain your natural arch of the brow.  Both conditions will improve, and you will just have to be patient while the issue resolves.  In general, choosing a skilled physician to perform the injections minimizes the chances of any complications occurring.  Thanks and I hope this helps!

The number one side effect of any of these injectables such as Botox, Dysport, etc. is lid ptosis. This is the dropping of the lid which can last until the medication wears off. The first thing that you need to do is go back to whoever injected you and have them do an evaluation to determine a course of action to help you. Having to tape your eyelid up doesn't cut it. There are some eyedrops that are out there that they can prescribe that may help with this situation. Every physician that has injected Botox or Dysport has had minimal lid ptosis at some time. This is not minimal ptosis, this is more significant. I would really be curious to know if this was a physician or an injector that performed this treatment. It is imperative that you go to someone that is very qualified to do this procedure. Unfortunately, most people do not give it the due diligence that it deserves prior to seeking out this treatment. The absolute worst case scenario is that you will have to wait until the medication wears off, which usually takes approximately three months. I know this is not what you want to hear, but I cannot make an educated treatment plan without seeing you. Take care and good luck
