Answer: Swelling around eyes 1 week after Dysport I don't know your whole history. It seems like you had filler too because of the suggestion of "an enzyme to dissolve". There is something inciting this inflammation and at the very least, I would probably give steroids. Infection must be ruled out. Allergies to Dysport would be highly unusual. More common is an allergy to the benzyl alcohol in the preserved saline that the Dysport was mixed with. A way to test for this allergy is injecting just the preserved saline in the forearm and looking for a reaction. I have had 2 patients with this problem but they appeared almost immediately. Please see a medical specialist soon. Lastly, this could be angioedema which is caused by any type of trauma in those susceptible to it. This often occurs in patients taking ACE inhibitor blood pressure medication.
