Swelling is very normal post fillers. Swelling can take place with any dermal filler injected, and is actually an expected side effect. It's hard to assess your lump without a picture, but it can either be swelling or misplaced product. 7 hours is still considered within a swelling phase, and swelling usually subsides within 48-72 hours. However, it can last up to two weeks on some clients. Applying ice to an area can help decrease swelling immensely. If you still feel the lump after two weeks, I would recommend going back to the injector for a more thorough assessment!

Each nurse / MD / NP / PA has their own way of performing procedures, which is why this was recommended to you. It actually does not matter which order you do fillers/ botox, because the results will be the same. Botox is a neuro-modulator affecting muscle receptors and fillers are dermal-fillers affecting volume and structure. I usually always perform Botox and fillers at the same time on my clients to save them a trip back to the office. Hope this helps!

Typically, the results of Botox (a neuro-modulator) will begin to show within 4-5 days, but can take up to two weeks. I would highly recommend waiting the full two weeks to see full results. When receiving Botox, it's important to remember a few rules to follow to ensure the best results. No laying down for the first 4 hours, and no rubbing the area or applying pressure for the first 4 hours. Each individual is different, and their muscles react differently to certain products. If in two weeks you're still unsatisfied with your results, you can always give them a call for a reassessment, or try a different neuro-modulator, such as Dysport or Xeomin!

Hello Kaites, thank you for your question. You should be okay, don't panic. Typically, the product settles in quickly but CAN take up to 4 hours to settle in 100%. Your  neuro-modulator (Botox) will begin presenting results in 4-5 days, but can take up to a full two weeks. Give it the full two weeks, and everything should be okay!
