An injector put dysport in my upper cheeks. 3 days post, and fat "hangs over" my smile line. What are the long-term concerns?

3 days later, I noticed that the fat pads of my cheeks did not rise when I smiled and therefore creating a very pronounced nasolabial fold and the fat almost "hands over" my smile line. My cheeks and under eye area feel heavy, and the fat pads look lower at rest. I'm concerned that when the muscle strength returns, the fat will still sit lower on my face than before.
