Eyelid swelling is not a typical side effect of Dysport. I would advise you to follow up with the provider who administered the injections. It's possible that the Dysport is causing heaviness or drooping of the eyelid.

Thank you for your question. While eyelid swelling and puffiness are not typical side effects of Dysport injections, some individuals may experience a sensation of heaviness in the lids or forehead. This usually subsides within 2 weeks, but it can sometimes take longer. To ensure safe and effective treatments, it is important to seek evaluation and supervision from a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon with expertise in injectables. I hope this information is helpful.

Swollen eyelids after Dysport injections are rare. Common side effects include bruising, headaches, eyelid ptosis, an expressionless appearance (if too much is injected or injections are not performed properly), and minor swelling. It is important to see a doctor to determine if you are experiencing swelling or another side effect.

Over-treatment of the forehead with Botox can lead to the paralysis of the frontalis muscle, causing the eyebrows to fall and the upper eyelids to appear full. This effect can take several weeks to wear off.
