Dysport
Dysport should not caused eyelid swelling. I would recommend that you follow-up with your provider who injected you. It may be that the Dysport is causing heaviness or drooping of the eyelid.

Post Dysport Treatment Swelling
Thank you for your question. Sometimes people can have or feel heaviness of the lids or forehead and usually subsides after 2 weeks, but sometimes longer. Eyelid swelling and puffiness is not a usual side effect of Dysport injections. Be certain to get evaluated and 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.

What you are describing is likely brow ptosis [or droopiness]
Dr. Rueckl is on the right track. If you had injections performed around the eyes, then droopiness of the eyelid would be possible side effect.
However you describe your injections to be along the forehead. It would very unlikely for this to cause your eyelids to droop. However, it is quite likely that this will in effect lower your eyebrow position. Since the botox is weakening the frontalis muscle [forehead muscle] responsible for elevating the eyebrows, upon weakening, the...

Consider seeing your injector
Although unclear, what you are describing sounds like it could be ptosis. Ptosis is is a drooping or falling of the upper (or lower) eyelid from overinjection (or too low of an injection) with Botox or Dysport. Sometimes what I've heard people describe as "swelling" is actually this. Consider returning to your injector for evaluation. If it is ptosis there are prescription eyedrops that can help lift the lid back up; if it's something else, just know that Botox does...
