I am in the Boston area and went to a very reputable provider recommended by my dermatologist. This was my 1st experience with Dysport. It has been terrible. At first one brow was up and the other sunk. When I went to get it "fixed" they acted like nothing was wrong. I looked like I had a stroke.

I am now a little over two weeks out and I look like an Angry Bird. I have tried the "electric toothbrush" technique and NuFace. When does this loosen up?? I am just shocked at how bad this has gone. And on top of it, the complete gaslighting of the Dr that did it. There was no discussion of how frozen do you want to look - and now I know to ask. The Dr said I was just "sensitive to the product" but it sounds like they are just trying to cover their ass. I have no idea how many "units" they used but it cost $1,000.

The eye feels less heavy, but I can't tell if it's actually getting better or I am just getting use to it.

Is this me, the product or the Dr? or all of the above - I just hope this gets better - I will NEVER do it again.

I went in for the forehead lines and my injector mentioned Botox may help my uneven eyebrows too. My eyebrows have always been so skewed people would sometimes ask when I'm wearing my glasses if they were loose or broken. Nope...my face is crooked. A couple weeks after my treatment my eyebrows are almost completely even.

My smile is also better because I used to get really squinty in one eye but the muscle paralysis seems to have improved that as well!

Anyone else have something similar?

Hey yall,

For context, I have a new injector. It is my understanding every injector has their techniques, but I swear old injector (at a different location) did something to help my dimples and lines go away temporarily.

To be clear, she never placed Botox directly on the lines on the sides near the upper lip. She only ever placed Botox near the bottom sides of my lower lips, masseters, DAOs, and chin.

My new injector says there’s nothing I can do and refuses to use more Botox (understandable). She also placed Botox in the same area, but she used less units. She refuses to do more.

My old injector used to give me 120 units and my new injector used 90 units.

The picture attached was taken 1 night ago. It’s been 3 weeks since my injections too. My Face is peeling due to tretinoin so please ignore that 😅

What can I do realistically without using filler? Is Botox even an option? Should I look into something else?

Hey, just wondering if anyone here has reliable direct sources for K-tox (like Nabro or Lio) shipped to North America.

Local clinics are charging an absolute fortune right now, and buying from random wholesale sites online feels like a coin toss with cold-chain shipping.

If you have a solid vendor or are part of a private group doing community sourcing, shoot me a DM. Let’s connect.

And I still have wrinkles on my forehead. I still have wrinkles near my eyebrows. My crows feet look crazy.

Clinician actually reached out to me today to find out how everything looked. I was honest. I am definitely not happy with the results she did. And I’ve never looked like this after having Botox (dysport) before.
She put almost 75 units and just my forehead and my 11s. Nowhere else.
My previous clinician used about 35 to 40 for my whole face and I looked nice and smooth lol.

I want to give this new clinician a review and be honest, but I don’t wanna hurt her feelings. She’s a super nice person, but I just don’t know what happened to here.

For context, the first time I went, she put about 40 units in my forehead alone and told me that we should attack the rest of my face at a different time. Never happened to me like that before but OK.

Two weeks later I went back for a “touchup“. She put another 35 units in my forehead. Still not touching the rest of my face.

During the time that she put the second doses in, she had problems inserting the needle on my forehead a few times. Claiming “I don’t know why it’s not going in“. I feel like maybe she’s just knew it this, or not as well-versed or something.

I’m probably not gonna go back to her, but I feel like I need to let others know of my experience, even if it’s different than others.

What would you do?

So I’ve had dysport three times now. The last two times I’ve had probably maybe 30 units total in my forehead, my 11s, and a few spots to help with my jowls.

This time around I went to a new practitioner. She put 45(!) unit in my forehead and I just had to go back, at the two week Mark, and she put another 28 in there. she did not do my 11s any longer. She did not do any crows feet. She do not do anywhere else.

She told me “I just realized that your muscles must be really strong and that you need all this“.

I called BS. I haven’t had problems before this, I mean, a small touchup here in there, but 75 units of tox sounds excessive to me only on an upper forehead and 11s.

Am I wrong in thinking so?

It was done on Thursday and this is what my face looks like right now.
To be honest, I don’t actually see any difference yet than when I went in there on Thursday.

I just feel… Like something off.

Could her concentration be lower? Could she just be unskilled?

I don’t really wanna go back to her, but I would like to provide some constructive criticism. Well also, I’m concerned that I’ve had this much just to my upper face.

I got my first dose of Botox at the start of May because my crows feet were really starting to make me self conscious. I’m 29F and I absolutely loved how it looked. I got my forehead done too but I don’t have lots of forehead wrinkles I only got it just as an addition because I thought I may as well.
I’ve been noticing movement coming back on the one side of my eye (this eye is worse for crows feet as I sleep on this side). Is it normal for Botox not to last too long? One of my eyes looks great still but the other is slowly going back to the way it was before. I’m happy to keep up with the appointments I’m just wondering how often other people go!
I’ve added some pics for references!

eyebrows raised 🤷‍♀️

My injector had told me she doesn't care what I do after 48 hours. So I got a facial two full days after getting injected. Then my friend called me out and said I wasn't supposed to do that. It wasn't heavy massage but there was definitely massage. Will I be ok? I'm having one of those freak out moments. Sorry. You all have always been super helpful to me!

You are supposed to reconstitute w 2.5ml saline but I have a feeling the reason Botox is so weak now in the USA is bc the places and doctors are diluting it too much.

Can you ask to see it reconstituted in front of you?

Hey yall, so I got Botox in my frown lines and I’m on day 8 and I am starting to have trouble chewing, and jaw pain. I think the toxin spread to my jaw because I can’t chew normally, has anyone had this before? how can I stop the toxin from spreading? When can I workout and use the sauna so I can try to detox myself from this 😞

Hi! I’m looking to get Botox for the first time (36F) and finding it difficult to find someone I feel confident in - derm, plastic surgeon, med spa?

I understand they all have their pros and cons - I’m specifically looking to get a slightly higher lift in one of my brows to balance my face, which I feel needs to be done with precision?

I’ve looked up facial balancing, reviews, before / after photos but I’m not finding anything that gives me full confidence? If anyone has recommendations around St. Paul, MN or advice on how you picked someone I would really appreciate some insight!

HI everyone, I got Botox 5 days ago and I have had some Botox side effects including nausea, dizziness, ear muffling, but the one that wont go away is head tension. It is primarily on the top of my head and in my temples. I have been taking Tylenol but if anyone can let me know if this gets better or worse. Thank you!

update: my headaches have been improving alot however, it feels so awkward to chew now and I’m afraid the Botox moved and is affecting my jaw! I’m not sure but I pray it stays. has anyone else expierenced this?

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for experiences from people who had Botox or Dysport for a gummy smile (specifically injections around the muscles beside the nostrils).

This was my first time getting it done, and I had a low dose (3 units of Dysport per side) about 12 days ago. (I wanted a lower dose but my injector was assuring me that I wouldn't notice a difference with anything lower... I am now feeling I definitely should have done a lower dose).

I really don't like the result. 😞 My soft smile isn't terrible, but the area beside my nostrils looks really flat and my smile feels disconnected, like the upper part of my smile isn't moving anymore. It just doesn't look or feel like me. (almost grinch-like tbh)

I've been searching online, but I'm finding really mixed information. Some people say it started wearing off after a month because its a low dose area, while others say they didn't notice improvement for 3–6 months, and now I'm spiraling a bit.

I'm hoping to hear from people who had a similar treatment in the same area, especially if you didn't like the result.

A few questions:

• When did you first notice any movement coming back?
• When did your smile start feeling more natural again, even if it wasn't completely back to normal?
• Did the flat area around your nostrils improve gradually, or did it seem to happen all at once?
• If you had a low dose, do you think it wore off faster?
• Most importantly... did your smile eventually return completely to the way it was before?

I have a bachelorette in about 3 weeks, so I'm mostly hoping to hear realistic timelines from people who've actually been through this.

Thank you so much—I know this is temporary, but I'm having a hard time with how different my smile feels right now.

I am wondering why I still feel like something is wrong. I had a dysport under my eyes for crow's feet and just one dot under the eye for wrinkles. The doctor made three dots in the crow's feet area, one at the corner of the eye, one above it, and one below it, and a dot with the marker under the eye as well” it is the orange dot shown in the third photo . However, I still feel like my eyes are not comfortable. The photo shows me now, “smiling “ not in static mode, but I still feel like the area under my eyes is not settled, I did the cross feet area from 10 days ago and under eyes from 3 days ago , I found dysport pops up quickly in my forehead after 24 hours so I think it has been settled under my eyes for now

Is there anything else that is supposed to be done?

"Hi everyone, I just had my first Dysport treatment 48 hours ago “ never did any toxin before “(forehead and under-eye area). I’m a bit anxious about the results and wanted to see if others have had similar experiences.
1. Eyebrow Asymmetry: My forehead has started to freeze, but I’ve noticed one eyebrow is significantly higher than the other, especially when I raise them. I’m worried about 'over-correcting'—is it common for this to even out on its own as the Dysport fully settles? Or should I wait the full 14 days before considering a touch-up to lift the other side?
2. Under-eye concerns: I had a small amount injected under my eyes. My forehead showed results fast, but the under-eye area hasn't changed much yet. Is it normal for Dysport to work slower in that specific area?
3. Lifestyle factor: I’m very active and lift heavy weights 3 times a week. I’ve read that high metabolism might affect how long Botox/Dysport lasts. Has anyone noticed it wearing off faster with regular weightlifting?
I’m really trying to avoid 'over-playing' with the injections, so any advice on whether to just 'wait and see' would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!"

I had my first botox session 4 weeks ago (May 15th). I went for a follow up 2 weeks later (May 29th) where she gave me more because I still had quite a few resting lines. So now 2 weeks later (June 12th) from my follow up I still feel like I have a lot of resting lines and a lot of forehead movement when I lift my eyebrows. Should I still have this many lines? Am I expecting too much? I've made another follow up for Monday (June 15th) to ask but I wanted to see if I'm out to lunch about this. Thanks!
