Botox in chin caused large bubble/lump with 24hrs (Photo)

Question

I had Botox in my Chin 24 hrs ago and now have a bubble when I purse my lips/raise my lower lip. There were 2x injection sites, and one has a small blue bruise dot. It is not painful, and it feels like fluid. It feels exactly like a blister (but not as fragile) I've had Botox previously w/ no adverse effect. In this session I also had Botox in the mandible and a small amount of touch up filler to the nose/lips. Is this a hematoma? Will it go away on its own? Does it need aspiration? Thank you!

Sorry to hear you are experiencing concerns after your recent botox treatment. Return to your doctor for evaluation.

Thanks for your question and photos – and based on what we are seeing, something like this should be looked at by your injector to make sure that nothing that should not be going on which needs to be addressed is happening with you.  Go call and see your injector and perhaps find a board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon if needed.

I am not sure what this is but probably a hematoma that is not completely formed yet.  There was not enough fluid in the Botox to cause this. Contact your doctor

I think that this is most likely a problem with the placement of the Botox. I don't think it is fluid but can be sure without proper evaluation. I would go back to your provider and discuss. You might need more Botox in the area.
