I Had Botox and Filler Injections One Week Ago but Have a Lot of Pain?
I have a very deep red mark and swelling where the injection went in my glabeller area and today I pushed on the area and a substance like puss came out and I now have a small incision hole in this area the bruising has not faded and I am worried about skin narcosis as I was a model for trainees and was worried they did not inject properly, how long do symptoms normally last?

Botox injections
It is impossible to evaluate your condition without physically examining you but your description would be consistent with a consequence of the physical injection and not the chemical properties of Botox.

Pus after fillers or Botox
Pus should not occur after fillers or Botox, and can be the sign of some type of infection. The bruising/swelling itself can last up to about two weeks, but it's the pus that concerns me here. Please see a physician asap. Quite frankly, the office you were training for should have scheduled a follow-up with you anyway so the "trainees" could see how you are doing. (I'm assuming these aren't physicians based on this word and I always recommend Botox or fillers are only done by board-certified...
