Hard lump after Botox.

Bruises can occur after any injection of filler or Botox, although they are uncommon after Botox. I find that using a bright light on my patient's face helps me avoid blood vessels that aren't obvious in darker conditions, but bruising can't be avoided completely because many vessels are below the surface of the skin and can't be seen. Some bruises are flat and can't be felt, but others accumulate as a small bump and can be tender. These bumps can last for several weeks. Don't manipulate or massage this area for at least one day. Using warm, not hot, compresses with warm tap water on a clean washcloth and letting it sit for a minute or two a few times per day can help the bump go away sooner, but don't do this the same day as treatment. Don't make the water too hot which can burn yourself.The information provided in Dr. Shelton's answer is for educational purposes only and is not intended to constitute medical advice.  The information provided should not be relied upon as a substitute for consultations with a qualified health professional who may be familiar with your individual medical needs

Hello and thank you for your question. Normally there may be slight bumps and bruising at or around the injection sites. Cold compresses will help, but be gentle and careful not to burn your skin with direct ice. 

Bruising can be typical after any type of injections and can last 1-2 weeks. Icing, arnica and VBeam treatments can give improvement. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer
