Why doesn’t anyone get it? Is it too late for Dysport touch ups?

Question

Been getting neurotoxins since my 30’s. 45 now. I had Dysport 51 units, forehead, crows feet, between eyes (11’s) lip flip and in my chin. It was a new injector. I advised that I normally get 77 units but she said she is conservative and to come back in two weeks if I wanted more. At two weeks I was happy. it’s been 4 weeks and I notice movement and my 11’s coming back. Is it too late for touch ups? Why do injectors do this even to clients who know what they need?Where are the non conservative?

Randal Haworth, MD, FACS · Answer

It's not too late for touch-ups. You can schedule an appointment with your injector to discuss your concerns and have additional units injected to achieve your desired results. It's important to communicate your expectations clearly with your injector to ensure you get the best possible outcome.

Regarding why some injectors are more conservative than others, it could be due to their training and personal philosophy. Some injectors may prefer a more natural-looking result, while others may be more aggressive in their approach. It's important to find an injector who aligns with your goals and preferences, and to have a clear and open communication about your expectations.

I hope this helps,
best of luck !

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in-person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan.  It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

If you are noticing movement you can return for a touch up.  It is important to go to an experienced injector with whom you feel comfortable.  I encourage you to discuss your concerns with your injector as communication is key.

I normally keep touch-ups within 1 1/2 months. The area you want to be touched up is a depressor area so its safe. We have to consider what each area does, the forehead elevates the brow while the "11" area depresses the brow. So touching up the 11 area will serve to raise and widen your brow should the forhead area wear off before your touched up area.  Also the average area dose is in the glabellar (60U) and the frontalis anywhere for a low of 30 to 60, so you are correct in stating you need 77 units.
