Lumps after Botox - why has this happened? (Photo)

January 11, 2024
Asked By:mrs renard in Scotland, United Kingdom

I had anti wrinkle botox injections 18 months ago. A couple of months after the injections lumps developed in the injected area. The photos show the lumps 18 months later (now). What are they and why has this happened?? The injector said it was my brow ridge and a normal part of my anatomy, but I disagree as they weren’t there before. Is there anything that can be done about them? A week before the Botox, I had a deep micro needling procedure which caused my skin to burn painfully and gave me an allergic reaction (see photos). Could this have caused fat loss, causing the forehead muscles to protrude?

Answer: They could be due to a localized reaction to the injection, or possibly due to placement of the product.
