I had Dysport injected one week ago to give me a little lift in the brow. About 5 days in I noticed some drooping of the left eyelid and haven't really seen any brow lifting. Botox has always done this for me in the past. I am wondering if adding some Botox would lift the brow and how long do I need to wait to go back to the Botox.
Answer: Eyelid drooping after Dysport Botox and Dysport can both cause side effects. A well-known side effect is ptosis, or drooping of the eyelid. An experienced facial injector should be able to determine with an exam whether the problem is truly an eyelid ptosis or whether the brow is also affected. The treatment would be different depending on the problem and where previous injections were placed. Occasionally some additional injections of Botox or Dysport can be helpful to lift the brow, but this effect will be relatively small. If the problem is true eyelid ptosis, prescription eye drops can help to raise the lid temporarily, while the patient waits for the effects of the injection to wear off. This usually only takes a few weeks, rather than the full 3-4 months that these medications typically last. All the best,

Answer: Drooping After Dysport Treatment If you have drooping of your eyelid, I would suggest seeing your injector in order to be evaluated in person. Prescription eyedrops are available that may improve the drooping by opening up the lid a couple of millimeters. Unfortunately, the only other thing to do is to wait for the product to wear off. It may also be a good idea to try less product and to make sure you are being treated by an experienced injector. If Dysport is causing drooping for you consistently, maybe you can try Botox.

Answer: Dysport
I would first distinguish whether the you have an eyelid droop or a brow droop. I would recommend that you see your physician for follow-up to determine what exactly you have. If you are experiencing an eyelid droop, then this may be treated temporarily with iopodine drops.

Answer: Post Dysport Treatment - Eyelid
Thank you for your question. I would wait about 3-4 months after the effect of Dysport has dissipated. Sometimes you can get diffusion into other muscle groups causing this resulting droop. If you have had great success with Botox, you may want to stay with Botox. Be certain to be under the supervision of a board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon with expertise in injectables for the safest and most effective treatments. I hope this helps.

Answer: Eyelid Drooping After Dysport The most common side effects of Dysport are nose and throat irritation, headache, injection site pain, injection site skin reaction, upper respiratory tract infection, eyelid swelling, eyelid drooping, sinus inflammation, and nausea. These can occur hours or weeks after treatment. I would suggest being patient and allowing more time for this side effect to subside. Best of luck.
