Q: Severe hematoma from Botox remains after 8 weeks
Your result is not typical but is a known risk of an injection of any type. The area around the eye is very vascular and therefor blood vessels can be at risk from injections and result in bruising.
Many physiicians require patients to be off any medications that might increase the risk of bruising for 2-4 weeks prior to injections. An example of these products are aspirin type medications or anti-inflammatories like Motrin.
At this point, I would just wait and allow the body to heal. You have already done most of the common treatments for this situation. It certainly can be bothersome to have such a long lasting bruise when you originally wanted to get improvement in lines and wrinkles in that area.
