So it has been 5 days. I think my brow has dropped and I have very little ability to raise it. I only treated head. Now my eye lids are crowded. How can this be fixed?
Answer: Dropped brows after Dysport Thank you for the question and pictures. I think that you had too much Dysport in your forehead, or it was injected too low on your forehead. Your brows will return to their position in 3-6 months. You can sometimes get modest raising of your eye brows in this state by putting a little more neurotoxin (I know, it sounds crazy) under your brow. Your eye brow is in a constant state of tug-of-war between your forehead (the frontalis muscle) that pulls it up, and your corrugator and orbicularis oculi muscles, which pull it down. Since the muscles that pull the brow down are winning, selectively paralyzing them can give your brows a modest raise. Good luck!

Answer: Brow ptosis after Dyspot Hi Julie, good question, and something I go over in detail with patients when doing a facial evaluation for treatment with injectables. It's very important during the initial exam for the injector to assess whether patients have any existing brow ptosis (droop), that is compensated by the forehead muscle. This is because once the muscle is temporarily paralyzed with Dysport, Botox, etc., that lifting force isn't there, and the brow appears dropped. Fortunately, the product wears off in a few months, and your brow will look the way it did before.
