This personalized assessment ensures your consultation is tailored specifically to you, with no obligation. Your wellness journey, our commitment.
Comprehensive Consultation & Assessment
Your journey begins with a private consultation with Dr. Song or one of our expert injectors. This visit is focused on understanding what changes you'd like to see and whether Dysport is the right solution for your concerns.
During your consultation, your provider will:
- Listen to your aesthetic goals and timeline
- Evaluate facial muscle movement and skin quality
- Review your medical history and any prior injectables
- Discuss recommended dosage and expected results
- Explain post-treatment care and maintenance plan
Together, you'll create a treatment plan tailored to your anatomy and lifestyle, with safety and realistic outcomes as the priority.
The Dysport Procedure
A topical numbing cream can be applied for comfort, though most patients find the injections easily tolerable.
During the procedure:
- Skin is cleansed and injection sites are marked
- A very fine needle delivers precise Dysport units
- Multiple points may be treated to ensure even diffusion
- Ice or gentle pressure minimizes swelling and bruising
The entire session typically takes 10-20 minutes, and you can head back to your normal routine immediately afterward.
Dysport Recovery Timeline
Recovery experiences vary, but most patients follow a similar general timeline.
Immediately after treatment
Mild redness or small bumps at injection sites usually fade within 15-30 minutes.
First few days
- Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours
- Refrain from rubbing or massaging treated areas
- Early smoothing effect may begin to appear
Weeks 1-2
- Full results typically visible by day 7
- Return to full workout routine after 24-48 hours
- Schedule any follow-up if adjustments are desired
Weeks 3-4
- Enjoy peak wrinkle-reducing effect
- Take note of when movement gradually returns
You'll receive personalized post-treatment instructions and our team is available if questions arise.
Your Dysport Results
Dysport results are visible right away, though your skin will continue to refine over the first week as the product takes full effect.
Early results
Within 2-3 days, treated muscles begin to relax and lines start softening.
Following weeks
By one week, wrinkles look noticeably smoother while expressions remain natural.
Final results
Peak effect lasts roughly three to four months, after which movement gradually returns and a maintenance visit is recommended.
With regular upkeep and good skincare habits, many patients enjoy continuous, natural-looking rejuvenation throughout the year.

- Week 1 - 2

- Week 4 - 6
- Month 2 - 3
- Month 4 - 6
- Long time
Understanding how dosage, facial anatomy, and injector technique influence Dysport results can help you set realistic expectations and feel confident in your decision.
Achieving Natural-Looking Results
Natural-looking outcomes depend on selecting the right muscles, the correct number of units, and balanced placement. Our providers analyze your facial expressions at rest and in motion to preserve positive movements (like smiling) while softening unwanted creases. We start conservatively—especially for first-time patients—because it is easier to add units later than to reverse excessive relaxation. Regular maintenance appointments allow us to fine-tune dosing as your muscles adapt, ensuring your face always looks refreshed, never overdone.
Where Are the Injections?
- Dysport is delivered through tiny micro-injections rather than surgical incisions.
- Glabellar injection sites between the brows
- We use ultra-fine needles and gentle technique to minimize marks, which usually fade within minutes.
Is Scarring a Concern?
Because no incisions are made, scarring is not expected. A small red spot may appear at each injection site but typically disappears quickly.
Injection Site Healing Timeline
- Minutes after treatment
- Small raised bumps flatten as the solution dissipates
- Hours after treatment
- Mild redness generally fades
- 24 hours
- Any residual tenderness or pinpoint bruising is uncommon and short-lived
- Few days
- Skin looks completely normal
Proper aftercare—such as avoiding rubbing the area—helps ensure quick, uneventful healing.
Understanding Risks and Safety
Understanding Risks and Safety
Dysport is generally safe when administered by an experienced provider in a medical setting. However, as with any medical treatment, potential side effects exist.
Potential risks may include:
- Bruising or swelling at injection sites
- Headache or mild discomfort
- Temporary eyelid or brow droop
- Allergic reaction (rare)
- Uneven or asymmetric results
- Infection (very rare)
Your provider will review these risks with you in detail during your consultation and explain how they are minimized through careful planning, sterile technique, and follow-up care.

Your safety is a top priority at South Coast Plastic Surgery. Steps taken to support a safe Dysport experience include:
- Treatment performed by experienced, medically trained injectors

By choosing an experienced medical team and following aftercare guidance closely, most patients enjoy smooth, worry-free results.
The cost of your procedure will vary based on a variety of factors. During your consultation, your doctor will discuss your desired outcomes in detail and provide a fully transparent breakdown of all associated costs. Our practice helps patients achieve their aesthetic goals with a variety of financing options.

Dr. Song performed my breast implant surgery nearly 10 yrs ago with the ideal breast implant. I've had no issues in this time. I live on the other side of the country now, but I would've loved to come back for removal, since I'm on an all natural journey. I hope to find someone who can take care of me, keep me safe, & assured during & after surgery as Dr. Song & his staff did.
Thank you Dr. Song. I’m 10 days post opp and am so happy with my experience with my mommy makeover! I can’t tell you how comfortable Dr. Song and his staff made me feel throughout this whole process. Surgery is a bit of a scary decision and sometimes I agonized about for years but I can promise you are in the best care with this team. I highly highly recommend them and am already so happy with my results !
