“Forehead Lumps and Bumps From Botox”

how do stars like Nicole manage to continue to get botox and they dont have any problems like this?? beats me. Ive had your experience too where Ive had botox for a few years and had no problems and then just now, month ago actually, for the first time, the botox experience was terrible with droopy eyelid and some puffiness, that you think you do look better without the botox. I dont ever see Nicole looking worse for way with her botox experience, she never has a lumpy forehead??? will you be having it again??

Question: Forehead Lumps and Bumps from BOTOX®

Answer: I have never experienced forehead lumps and bumps from Botox®. The actual injection solution of BOTOX® is saline (sterile salt water). There is often a little temporary lump at each site where the BOTOX® is administered. When the saline is absorbed into the local subcutaneous tissues of the forehead, the lumps are gone (usually within an hour or two). A small hematoma that occurs when a small blood vessel is nicked with the needle or even a subsequent infection in the needle punctured site could produce a small lump but this is extremely rare. BOTOX® injections, by themselves, should not produce forehead lumps and bumps.

What Dr Dr. Sattenspiel is talking about, the temporary forehead bump and bruising just after the injection, I have had that and yes after aboout an hour the bruising (if any) and bumps have gone and settled. Its just that the injection giving was fresh. Does sound reassuring when he says that the botox injection should not leave the lumping that you have gotten. Im interested in knowing if perhaps the botox was off then as you asked. You said that you had a lower eyebrow - well no that is not the droopy eyelid. With the eyelid, its the eyelid that doesnt open all the way up so the eyelid just comes up half way up the eye and makes you look weird cos the other eye is right and open all the way and gives the look that you are 'starring' open eyed with the one eye. The eyebrow is the eyebrow and would give the look that the right eyebrow is up as in surprised look. That is prob what you have. I had that once too, but it was my eyebrow up too high. That was easily corrected though, my dr just injected a small dose into the forehead on top of the effected higher eyebrow to lower it and it was fine. THIS droopy eyelid thing that I just had now well I had to have drops for my eyes and unfortunately I needed my eye corrected by jan 8 cos my only daughter was getting married Jan 9 and my eye was not corrected by then. It was fine in the morning but by afternoon time and all the photo taking time, my eye was tired now and heavy and was drooped again so all the photoes of me full frontal have me with the droopy eye and im so distraught about that. Once I was able to put drops in during the reception, the eyelid lifted abit for the remaining of the evening, but by then all the portrait official photos had been taken. My eye was corrected the week AFTER wouldnt you know it, so all together it took just under a month to correct with the help of drops. sorry if im rambling -would I have it again - well right now I say no, but who knows when the botox all wears off and yes right now I do say that this time it was certainly a waste of money, I threw this money down the drain and at a time when I wanted to look my best, for my daughters wedding - everything was perfect but I would rather have had a bad zit or a coldsore (makeup can cover)than to have had that drooping eye- to me and I know you feel the same - it was like I had this deformity on that day and the camera has captured that for forever. I also do what you do and still do actually cos have to reassure that my eye is okay - and that is look in the mirrors when I pass by one, oh my Yes for sure I have been doing that too. The botox I dont want to give up is the botox for the lines inbetween the eyebrows (gabella or whatever) and for the forehead. I too loved my eyes being lifted but if it means the risk of droopy eyes time and time again, I cant live through that again. have you told friends etc, you have botox and what you are experiencing now is from the botox?? I dont usually say when I have it so I didnt say my droopy eyelid was from botox, I said I had an eye infection.

I initially had the same reaction, deep cyst like pimples between my eyes after botox. It happened a couple of times and my doctor gave me two things to clear it up...First I used Dermatop 2 x a day morning and night(I think it helps the swelling) and then Clindasol cream 4x a day until they dried up. They totally worked!! We have since figured out a routine that keeps the breakout away and I can still do botox....3 or 4 days prior to botox appt I use the clindason cream a few times a day on the area that is usually affected, then I get my botox and continue the cream for another 2 or 3 days after. I haven't had another breakout after botox and I'm loving it!! Good luck, hope it works for you! As for any botox under the eye, no way! My doctor says she knows some dr.s will do it but she won't because it's too risky...droopy eyes etc....just a thought. I do the area between my eyes, my brow and crow's feet and it looks great and natural and I look super rested....

Same thing has happened to me. I'm rather surprised and worried about it. I had Botox injected into my forehead 4 days ago. I expected the lumps to have subsided by now, which I'd never had before — have had it done twice in the last 2 years — and they have not. It looks almost like I have lumpy blood veins that are streaking along my forehead, and a few lumps in other places. I made an appt. for tomorrow for this Doc to take a look, but I must tell you, the idea of injecting anything else makes me sweaty with anxiety. I look a little "devilish". Hate it.

I got botox for the first time a week ago in my forehead. I still have the forehead wrinkle and I have puffy spots above my eyebrows (not at the injection sites). I also look "devilish." Does it go away??

I had Botox in my forehead yesterday, been having 6 monthly treatments for about 3 years. For the first time I have a lump at each injection sight still, each one is red and sore. When I bend down I can feel the pressure in my forehead, it kind of throbs. The lumps are sore to touch. I'm so worried that they aren't going away and something is really wrong. Has anyone else had these type of reactions before? I have contacted my practitioner and she says not to worry and that the lumps and soreness will go.

I am 56 yrs. Have had botox 2x yearly for about 10 yrs. I am usually happy with the results, always go for a natural look. About 4 yrs. ago I had what I thought was a rash on my forehead. I thought it was the sunscreen I was using since it was a new brand for me. i remember that I had botox within a week of the bumps.
No more problems till last time. Again, within a week of having botox, my forehead was covered with tiny bumps. they weren't really pimples, just raised bumps. Really ugly. It's been 3 months and they have slowly been going away. I am thinking I've developed an allergy to botox:(

I had Botox 2 times before no trouble. Third time I got huge cyst between my eyes and zits all over forehead. This cyst won't go away and might need surgery. I'm in worst shape than before Botox and depressed I cam never get it again I'm scared. Drs blow me off and say it wasn't Botox. I know it was.

I did read your post. Sounds awful! The nurse that injected me has been very helpful. She asked for pic's and has seen me twice.She also has been in touch with the supplier. It's now been almost 5 months and I'm cleared up, although I have very tiny marks from some of the bumps.
Nurse said that I may be unable to have botox again on my forehead. I expected that. She then injected two tiny spots on my neck just to see if I'd react. 10 days and no reaction. This will sound nuts but she said it's possible to react in some places and not others.
What I appreciate is that she is as concerned as I was. Now I'm more curious than ever. I'm going to ask for a VERY small amount on my crows feet as see what happens.
I must mention that I had not changed anything like shampoo, hairs pray prior to my forehead mess. It was the botox.

J56,
Did u read mine? I'm in almost same boat.... Except this is a cyst that hurts and won't go away. I have had it injected w cortisone and it's leaving a red dot when it's goes down. Then flares up. I think made need surgery which may leave scar right between eyes. Then the bottom of cyst is leaving a line of demarkation above nose. I don't want to leave house. It throbs and if I bend over it hurts. I think the company isn't telling people information. I wish I could find someone to help me. I'm in Chicago. This is horrible, ugly and painful.

Bumpy, My forehead is already high so I'm not a candidate for that! I know women who have had it and said if they knew how badly it would hurt, they might not have done it. Such an individual thing.
The one procedure I would do is Fraxil. My nurse, Mary does that and it's wonderful. A doc could do the deeper fraxil where you are asleep and wipe out your wrinkles.
I saw Mary today and asked about your cyst. She really thought that botox would not cause that and actually thought botox would help it.
My forehead had gotten pretty clear as of last week. I decided to try a hair spray that I bought a while back and had stopped using.
My skin started to act up a little again. The little botox injections I had as a test on my neck never gave me a reaction. I'm going to start taking claratin everyday because I seem to becoming more sensitive to so many things. In a month or so I am going to try botox again.
I know what you mean about vanity. I don't want to become obsessed, but a little help is nice.
To be continued:)

Thanks for asking your nurse. My dr says the bottom hasn't caused this either but Ida know. They think it was the needlestick that caused cyst. I don't understand all these tiny breakouts near the inner cornets of my eyes too. So strange. I not loving any of this, wrinkles, bangs, pimples....I'll keep you posted if I try it again. I'm using alpha hydroxy acids now!
