Pain and swelling after Botox injection

It's unusual to have pain and swelling 1 week after Botox injection. You need to see the physician who did the injection and have the area examined. Best Wishes, Stewart Wang, MD FACS, Wang Plastic Surgery

Swelling and pain after Botox for Bruxism

It is possible to get some pain and swelling after Botox injections, wherever they are placed. In most cases, I would expect the swelling to have mostly subsided after a week. In regards to pain, there might be some soreness, but I would not expect there to be significant pain after the treatment. Since you are concerned, I would recommend seeing your injector so that he or she can assess your issues and determine if there are any problems.
