I Got Botox in my Forehead 12 Mths Ago and Developed Two Lumps Within 4-5 Days. I Still Have the Lumps. Will They Disappear?

Certainly, there may be a temporary small lump in the skin of the forehead that does away in hours, but should not be there indefinitely. If there is a bruise, that should go away. If there is a hematoma, which is a collection of blood, usually that disappears eventually but rarely can form into a firmer calcified mass. Possibly, this is coincidental and not related to the botox, such as cyst or lipoma formation, but that would be unusual so quickly. You want to be sure that it was Botox from Allergan and not diluted with an unusual liquid. If you haven't seen the orginal provider who administered the Botox, then you should. If they are not a doctor, then you need to see a physician who is a Botox expert to evaluate your condition.

As the other panel members suggested, it is concerning that you are experiencing these lumps for this length of time since the effects of Botox and Dysport generally wear off in 3 to 4 months.  It would seem prudent to have discussed this with the one that did the treatment for feedback.  If you choose not to return to the same practitioner, you are encouraged to have an evaluation by your physician.

 

 

First I would like to point out that 4 cm would be gigantic so I wonder if you meant 4 mm?  It is impossible to know what you are decribing with out at least a photo and more likely an examination.  Were you treated by a physician?  In which case, did you return to the doctor to learn what was going on?  If not I recommend that you see a dermatologist, facial plastic surgoen, or oculoplastic surgoen to have these evaluated.  After a year of this, please do not assume that they will eventually go away.
