I m in great depression.
Having my engagement shoot in may and I did this stupid decision to have dysport injected in my forehead two weeks ago.
I had a really small amount according to my Ps...he said 5 unit in total, 3 injections to my forehead.
One day after I saw the results immediately. Inner corner of my eyebrows are frozen. And it made my eyelids really heavy.... especially on my left eye.the double eyelids gone. Left with excessive skin. And the inner eyebrow won't move at all left me with stupid tired and angry face. I look v ugly now.

I cut my bang to cover most of my eyes now and wear cap to everywhere I go .

Anyone.... share my feeling????? and tell Me what can I do??

Try a homeopathic remedy called Hypericum @ 30c - I took it following surgery to help with nerve regrowth and it totally blew out my Botox. Essentially that's what botox does it is blocks receptors so muscles don't get the signal and fail. damage or improve healing time of nerves.

SO, I guess you were not happy with your botox?

I am going to try this hypericum @30c. It's been just a week since I've done the dysport and boy do I regret that decision just like everyone. My left eyelid drooped after the 4th day and my right eye has this high arch, so I look like I'm angry on one side then excited on the other. Yep a freak. Going thru a separation so I thought I needed something to boost my self-confidence...should have gone with a diet plan instead.

I ate healthy worked out. Didn't eat junk food, sweets, no pop. I can't believe I go and poison myself! I'm a little over 9 months out. Have my good days and tons of bad days. For class action lawsuits, need a Doc to actually admit that all our symptoms are from Dysport. If anybody can find one I'm in. Been seeing many Doc's they all say must be something else. When everyone can see the changes, but them. Dysport even says our effects are adverse effects! That was from a pharmacist. I'd be willing to challenge any Doc on this site to see me my before pics til today and telle must be something else. Bc I'm telling u it is not! U don't age that fast in a matter of months! Not the way I have.

Ladies no law suit until u get a Dr to say oh yes this is from Dysport. It will never happen. They all stick together in that and can care less they are destroying ppl. I'm just a bit at 11 months out and ages at least 7 years!! There's plenty of us on board for a law suit. You have to start seeing Dr.'s to say yes it's from Dysport. I have seen a few one told me oh yes I see the difference. Let me get the head blah in here oh no cant be Dysport is gone. Said that's my what I'm asking. He avoidede like the plague. He knew exactly its from Dysport, just like the rest of them. They don't want it pulled off the market. It's $$ they are making. I truly believe that in the adverse effect in many of us causes premature aging, but the Dr.'s are to scared to admit it. Really believe it causes us to age in some ppl. They know it. We see it bc we are living it!

I have a contact number for Dysport. I will post in on here today. I spoke to a pharmacist, after speaking to many others. All including pharmacist said you're having an adverse reaction. Yes, Ty for not disclosing it ages u, destroys u from the inside out, sucks the living life out of u! Ty! How u lay ur head down at night and feel comfortable while ruining our lives is beyond me. God has a plan for everyone! Hope they pay in the end!

Has it come back to normal now? Sometimes this can happen and it only lasts up to two weeks. I hope it's improved now!

This doesn't have to happen. As in true in some other ethnicities, Asian faces are a special case and need to be approached differently. I find MUCH smaller doses are required (5 units is very little), and I would never inject the forehead, which can result in a temporary (usually 2 weeks) depression of the eyebrows in these patients who cannot afford to have any eyebrow depression at all, without first treating the frown lines. Injecting the glabellar complex (frown lines) including the tiny depressor supercilli (DS) muscles first can actually lift the brows a bit; then after a week or two a little Dysport can be placed very high in the frontalis muscle, and only where still needed. But 5 units is already a very tiny dose, you did not get too much. You can still get the glabellar complex injected and get some improvement before your big day. Good luck and congratulations to you!

It's after 30 days now... every morning I woke, I would expected some changes... unfortunately... it doesn't change at all. My medial brow won't move a tiny bit.. I still look so much like a Spock and weirdo. The bangs won't help much while I am taking photos.....


Anyone can tell me how long it gonna wear off or is it going to be like that forever...???

As I wrote earlier, a little Botox in the right places can actually help!

Thanks Dr.Sheryl. I was too timid to have another injection done..... so injection to the right place will make me heal faster? or it will bring the lateral brow down? Cos the medial brow won't move a bit and I am having the hoody eyebrow already, so I am Wondering will the injection to the outer eyebrow make my eyes even smaller?

And if I leave it the way it is now, will it back to normal soon?

I'm 9 months out and nothing is back to normal. I would never use dysport/Botox again. Everyday my face has changes. Some days are better than others. A pharmacist from Dysport told me it can be a year before it actually leaves the body. Before you see a plastic surgeon wait it out. I feel I need eyebrows raised and a face lift, but really who has that kind of money. My suggestion is wait it out! Do the facial exercises, think its helping me a little. We all regret it, know how you feel. I have cried a lot over ruining my face, you're not alone. There's a lot of us going through the same things. I'm glad people share on here, bc none of my family or friends know what I'm going through. At least everyone on here knows the daily struggles. FYI dysport changed the shape of my eyes almost instantly, also my entire face over the last 9 months.

Hi vk, sorry for that, I think I will definitely gone Crazy after 9 months like that... I still didn't received ur pic yet... can u share with me how bad it is now?

Believe me I go crazy and it's a constant battle. I changed my hair with more bangs to cover eyes. They are totally different and very off and sunk in. I do not do the things I used to avoid friends and functions as much as I can. It's changed me. Ruined who I am and I'm not the same. I will send you a private message in the morning w/my phone number, I'll text u pics. My face is a lot different it's aged and changed a lot in 9 months.

I'm beginning to think that Dysports adverse effect on some of us causes aging process. That's why Doc's ate saying never heard of this or that! It truly had destroyed everything about me. For those of you who broke out did find info from a Doc who said that it does do this. Should of been giving meds for it! Tired of my ugly face and emotional roller coaster living w/regret. I pray for my face to come back. Never happening!

If you put one unit about the quizzical brow high point, that mountain peak will soften. You can prevent the lateral brow from dropping when you do this by also putting one or two units just UNDER the lateral brow-- this will release some peripheral fibers of the lateral periorbital sling and open the eye up. Dependig upon whether you still have an depressor function from the depressor supercilli muscles, 1/2 to 1 unit in each depresor supercilli muscle, at the very corner of the eye just below the medial eyebrow, may allow your brow to lift a bit medially. Don't blame the Dysport itself: it looks to me like it could have been placed lower and you would have spared the frontalis muscle and had a good effect. Please go to someone who understands that the Asian face is a special case -- placement is critical, and tiny doses suffice.

What most doctors don't tell you is that Asians are prone to droopy eye. I learned the hard way after having Botox done in my forehead twice and experienced droopy eye both times. It eventually does wear off and there are some eye drops you can take, but it doesn't really help. I finally went to a doctor who explained to me that if I want botox but not experience droopy eye - stick to putting it in the 1's between your eyebrows and your crows feet - stay off the forehead. I have done this for the past 3 years and have had no issues. Sorry you went through this - I did it twice!!

I know this was long time ago, but did your eyes get back to normal? I am having the same problem. It has been more than 2 months and it has not changed! In fact, it looks bit worse. Some of the muscles on my forehead have become so bulky and uneven that my forehead looks lumpy! SO depressing!
