Will one unit of Dysport (on each side) for gummy smile last long?

Question

I had one unit of Dysport on either side by the corners of my nose to help my gummy smile. Although it did fix the gummy smile, it gave me a long lip look (which I already had anyway). I don't like the result and would like to know how long you think it will last since it was such a small amount injected.

Dysport results typically diminish at 3-4 months.  However, because you received a low dose (1 unit in each area), it is possible that your results may wear off sooner.  Be patient!Best Wishes,

I'm sorry you are unhappy with your Dysport results.  The treatment is in full effect after two weeks and then will begin to fade gradually over approximately three to four months.  It may be a bit quicker for you since a low dose was administered.

I agree with the answers above. In my experience, Dysport typically lasts 2-6 months, depending on the person, injector, and amount injected. Because of the tiny amount injected at this appointment, I would anticipate this would wear off within 2-4 months. Good luck! Sarah RN BSN

Thank you for your question. Dysport results typically wear off after 3-6 months. However, because you had such a low dose it is possible that your results may wear off sooner. I hope this helps!

I am surprised 1 unit on each side had any effect at all. I would suspect the duration would not be the full 3-4 months.
