The Dysport Disaster: From Clinic to Crisis
At 4:11 · chapter starts 3:40
Here's the story in full: Hannah went to get masseter Dysport for her TMJ — a procedure she'd had twice before, just at a different place — without looking anything up, without providing a medical history, and with a gut feeling she politely ignored. [1] — Hannah Berner "Hannah got masseter Dysport at a clinic she did zero research on, and days later her smile stopped working — right before a 3-week TV hosti…" 01:39 When she woke up and tried to smile a few days later, something was wrong. She put lotion on her face, assuming dry skin. She went to an interview, still feeling off. Then reality hit. The injector, initially cheerful, started to panic when Hannah mentioned her upcoming 3-week Toronto TV hosting gig — because Dysport peaks at two weeks. Hannah sought a second opinion in Westhampton, got saline solution injected across her face as a remediation attempt, and then came home, went to Pilates, and wound up in a sauna alone on Reddit at 3 AM reading accounts of people who couldn't smile for six months.
Hannah Berner got masseter Dysport at an unfamiliar clinic without charting history and developed a significantly impaired smile within days.
The injector told Hannah that Dysport peaks at 2 weeks, which coincided with her 3-week Toronto TV hosting job.
Mid-Dysport crisis, Hannah goes to Pilates to feel normal. A Giggler recognizes her and Hannah stares back with a face that reads as pure contempt. She then spends the whole class preemptively explaining to strangers that she just has broken face, not a bad attitude.
