had a botox masseter muscle reduction treatment yesterday and today I noticed that there's a bulge on the left side of the face when I bite down. I've had this treatment before and this never happened. what's causing it?
Answer: You may already be experiencing changes in your masseter from the Botox injection. You may already be experiencing changes in your masseter from the Botox injection. It may take 2 weeks to see the full effects and for the masseter to smooth. If the bulging persists after 2 weeks schedule a follow up appointment with your injector to assess treatment going forward. You may require additional Botox to this area if the muscle is still contracting. If you are concerned or have further questions contact your injector and express your concerns. All the Best.

Answer: Botox Injection for Masseter Hypertrophy. The complication from any injection can be bruising which is indicative of bleeding under the skin. Botox injections are not immune to this side effect and when the injection is deep in the muscle, like those for masseter hypertrophy they can result in bleeding in the muscle or intra-muscular hematoma. This will resolve and can be lessened with topical ice packs held on the areas of injection for 10 minutes every 4 hours for 48 hours. Proper injection technique with small needles and cooling immediately before and after the injection do help to limit localized bruising.

Answer: Hematoma after botox It sounds like you have a hematoma, which is a collection of blood, in the muscle or soft tissue adjacent to the muscle. This can happen if the needle caused bleeding in the deep tissue. Hematomas usually don't need any treatment, but occasionally need to be evacuated if large. The lump will typically resolve over the course of a few weeks with conservative care.

Answer: Masseter Bulge After Botox Sounds like you may have a hematoma or a deep bruise after the injections into your masseter muscle. This should get better with time. Sometimes applying ice intermittently can help with any discomfort. I suggest you schedule a follow-up appointment with your injector so that he/she can evaluate the issue in person.

Answer: Botox to Masseter Fullness 1 Day After Treatment Botox takes 4-5 days to start working and around 7 days for maximum effect. 1 day after the injection in the masseters, you should not see much of a difference. I would call you injector and have an evaluation.
