Had dysport for crows feet 27 wks ago. Included injections towards the middle under my eye. Overnight a bulge under left eye developed which Dr thought was swelling from injection. It did not resolve & I now know it is a herniated orbital fat pad. As muscle activity has returned I have noted that when I smile widely the fat pad is pulled back into place. However when my face is relaxed or smiling slightly the bulge remains. Is it the muscles or septum that support the fat pad in a relaxed face?

Answer: Festoons are possible
In addition to what has already been proposed, one common problem following the injection of botulinum toxin can be the formation of festoons or fluid pockets underneath the eyelid. The normal muscle tension of the orbicularis muscle may hide this tendency under normal circumstances. However with the loss of tone, any skin or muscle laxity is likely to reveal itself and may result in the formation of festoons. On a positive note, your condition should self-resolve as the toxin wears off. Best wishes

Answer: Dysport injection, eyelid bulge
Dysport will not cause any herniation in your fat pad. You should find that your dysport is functional for about 16 to 20 weeks in general. At this point, I believe you have no further action of the injected dysport and likely need a consultation with a board certified physician. Although off label, I have had tremendous success injecting around the periorbit and have been doing so for years.
