How long will it take for an overload of Dysport in my forehead to loosen? It's been a week, am I stuck for months?

Question

I had a Dysport correction on my forehead 1 week ago , as my brow was flinging up weirdly . I asked for a minimal 2 ml unit then the injectors put 3 injections in . ( Whick made me suspicious ) . Now my entire brow it froze my brow is frozen . I’m very upset as I always ask to leave my eyebrows alone . It looks ridiculous , one moves mildly , the other is frozen . So I queried it . Turns out he put 5 units in despite me asking for 2 . Will it loosen up or am I stuck with this fir months ?

Any neurotoxin injection whether Dysport, Botox, or the other brand names, will typically take 3-4 months to wear off. Unfortunately, there may not be much to do in your current situation, however adding a small amount 1-2 Botox equivalent units to the side that is moving may increase your symmetry. I would request your injection records from your practice to make sure that this same injection schedule is not repeated.

Thank you for your question. Since it has only been a week since your injection, I suggest you wait at least another week and see what your results look like then. Five units is a small amount, so while you will have to wait for it to wear off, it most likely won’t take months to do so. Always make sure you see an injector for your Dysport injections who has the experience and expertise to produce the best possible result for you. Best of luck!

I'm sorry to hear of the issues you are experiencing.  Five units of Dysport is a small amount and the effects should begin to soften within the next few weeks.

5 units of Dysport is a very small amount.  It is not unusual for there to be some temporary heaviness or non-mobility of the eyebrow after a dysport treatment to the forehead.  I find that this issue normally improves after a few weeks and does not usually last for months.

Dmitriy Schwarzburg, MD · Answer

Your Dysport  will gradually wear off in a few weeks, 5 units is fairly a very small amount it should not last that long. Always consult with a board certified medical practitioner for your Dysport treatments.
