2 months ago I had 7,5 units of dysport injected in my glabella and 7 days after surgiderm 30xp filler for my 11's. In about a week, my upper eyelids were swollen and developed pain and burning underneath the glabella behind the corner of the left eye. My opthalmologist said there is nothing wrong, only dryness and muscle pain caused by dysport migration. She believes this has caused a neuralgia in the area. The eyedrops are burning when they reach behind the eye. What is wrong?
