2 days post Dysport: I can only raise one eyebrow -- is this a concern?

Question

Yesterday morning I had dysport injected into my 11’s and crows feet. This evening I noticed that when I raise my eyebrows, one is higher then the other. It feels like my right eyebrow can’t raise. Is this the beginning of brow drop? Given it’s only day 2, will it get worse? She did say she had also given me a slight ‘brow lift’.

Hi,It takes a full 1-2 weeks for the dysport to take full effect. It is more likely that one side has taken effect a little faster than the other. Also, if you did not get dysport to the forehead it is unlikely that you will have a brow drop. If you have any urgent concerns, contact your injector.Mehdi Sina, MD

It can take up to two weeks for you to see your final results from your Dysport treatment.  If after that time you have concerns return to your injector for an evaluation.  The effects of Dysport are temporary and gradually wear off over three to four months.  Always see an expert injector for treatment.

Thanks for your question. The full effect of Dysport/Botox is 2 weeks. It’s likely is working better on one side, but it should even out. Don’t be concerned.
See your injector in 12 days. Good luck from warm Scottsdale.

Dysport's onset of action is usually 4-5 days. See what you look like at that time and follow up with your injector. Hope this helps. JB

Two days is too soon to tell as it takes two weeks to see the full effect of the dysport. If you are not happy in two weeks with your result, I would recommend going back to your injector to discuss your options.
