Severe upper eyelid ptosis after Dysport! Will it get worse before getting better? How long will this last? (photo)

I'm sorry to hear about your droopy eyelid. This is a common issue with all injectable neuromodulators. You can get some eyedrops which can help, but there's no way to know when it will get better. See an eye specialist for best results.Good luck. Dr. ALDO 

Hello and thank you for your question.  The eyelid droop will improve with time. You will likely see improvement within 4-6 weeks. Iopidine eye drops may help as well. Dr. Philip Solomon

Ptosis can last a couple of weeks. There is always a risk of ptosis after injection. I would recommend waiting it out. It should improve given a bit more time. 

this will take 2-3 months to improve in the mean time you can use iopidine eye drops and consider ultherapy and filler to your eyebrow area.  Best, Dr. Emer.

I'm sorry that your lid dropped after Dysport treatment. Continue to use the eye drops as prescribed. This should begin to improve over the next few weeks. This effect is temporary and will completely resolve.

Thank you for your question. Eyelid ptosis is rare but can occur after neuromodulator treatment such as Botox or Dysport. It typically takes 3-6 months for Dysport to wear off and to return to normal. Although, you may see some improvement in the eyelid as soon as 4-6 weeks after treatment. If you have any other concerns please follow up with your injector. Best of Luck!

Sorry to hear about your experience. Although rare, eyelid ptosis can occur after both Botox and Dysport treatment. It will take 3-4 months for the Dysport to wear off, although you may start seeing some improvement in the eyelid as soon as 4-6 weeks after the treatment. This is not permanent. Your eyelid function will return to normal once the Dysport has worn off. 

So sorry to learn of your problem. Every injector dreads having this happen to one of their patients and am sure your provider is no different. Best is to go to office and have them examine your eye and make sure that this is what it appears to be and not something unrelated to Dysport.  Most likely related to your injections and spread of Dysport to muscles it was not intended for but nonetheless you should be examined first prior to moving forward with more drops. I have not read or heard of anything you can do to lessen the duration with exercise or resting it.  Just make sure you can close it completely at night so does not get irritated
The only good news here is that it is not permanent but still an awful thing to go through for you because it will take weeks to improve.

The drooping will improve with time, and will not likely last as long as the Dysport in the forehead and frown lines because you will constantly be trying to open that eye. This continuous effort to open the eye will generate new nerve endings and decrease the duration of this ptotic eyelid. 
The apraclonidine drops will marginally decrease the severity of the ptosis but will not shorten the duration of this side effect. All I can do is extend our sympathy as this is one the most unfortunate side effects of botox. The good news is the drooping has reached its most severe state, so it will only get better from here on.

Dysport like Botox has a risk of diffusing and causing eyelid droop or ptosis in rare occasions.  From your picture this is what you have.  Rest assured it is not permanent, it will wear off.  Usually this wears off sooner than the 3-4 months of the Dysport.  Please call your doctor's office and let them know this has happened and show them the photos or go in for a follow-up.  A board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon's office will likely give you a prescription for Iodipine which is a prescription medication that reduces the ptosis.  I have seen this help the drooping.  -Dr. Janiga
