Began using Dysport on 5/1/18. I had 100 units for brow lift, crows feet, and 11 lines. It lasted 5 weeks and I could still mostly scrunch my face. Contacted injector at 2 weeks (Nothing done ) and 6 weeks when she injected 10 units. That did NOTHING. On 8/1 I went to another reputable injector. He thought 100 units was a lot and said I only needed 70 units. 1 week since the injections and I can still scrunch my face completely. It’s getting frustrating. Am I being underdosed and wasting money?

You can still have Dysport injections after an upper and lower blepharoplasty. If done by an experienced injector it should only enhance your results, not cause issues. The specific location of the injections doesn't necessarily change because of your surgery.
It would be unusual to develop the symptoms you describe weeks after Dysport injections. It is likely that the symptoms are unrelated to your treatment. I encourage you to continue to follow up with your primary care physician who may refer you to a specialist.
