Two days ago I've had an injection of disport to treat my crows feet wrinkles.I've started to notice that the left side of my face has become more pronounced as thus the cheek on my left side appears to be “chubbier”. This asymmetry seems to show more when I smile. The difference is not too obvious. Nevertheless, I would estimate that the asymmetry is around 10% and it does make me feel uncomfortable. Is there a way how I can make the “swollen” cheek to calm down? Thank you

Answer: Asymmetry following Dysport treatment
In general, it can take up to a week for the Botox/Dysport to take effect. You
may be experiencing some swelling from the injection itself which will lead to
the chubby appearance in your cheek. In general, the side effects of
Botox/Dysport are as follow:
1) Light bruising
2) Swelling
3) Redness
As of now, there is not much you can do to calm the swelling down. This is
something that will resolve over the next 1-2 weeks. I would recommend giving
it some time and then reevaluating. I hope this helps, and best of luck.

Answer: Give it a little more time
As others have said, it takes 7-10 days to see the full effect of Botox and Dysport. Asymmetries at this time may also be due to some asymmetric swelling after the injections. If you still feel that there are asymmetries after two weeks, revisit your injector. there may be some touch-ups that they can do.
