I experienced mild head trauma due to an accident 2 days ago. There is a small, mildly tender hematoma just above my right eyebrow, with dark bruising over my eyelid crease. There is mild yellowish bruising above the brow, but the swelling is pretty mild. I have been icing and applying arnica cream with no drastic improvement. I am scheduled for facial botox in 2 days. Could the hematoma adversely affect my Botox results and/or would it be harmful to inject near the area at this time?
