5+ months ago I had dysport in my 11s. Once it kicked in, my eyes got dry, I felt pain in the inner upper corner of the eyes and my eyelids got swollen. The pain and dryness have subsided quite a bit but the puffiness remains. My ophthalmologist says it's freon dysport but it's almost 6 months now and it did not go away. How more before it goes? Is this a permanent damage?
