Upper Eyelid Swelling After Using Botox

2548anon
I had botox in my forehead & around eyes for the 1st time. Within a few days,when I get up in the morning my upper eyelids are severely swollen over my lower lids so can't even see lower lid;lower lid is never swollen.Heat makes swelling go down within a few hours.Dermotologist said wasn't botox.I've also been to ENT & Ophthalmologist & no one knows what is causing & its been 4 months. This is causing a crease in my eyes & stretching skin.If I sleep sitting up they do not swell.Did botox cause?
