It’s been almost 24 hours and the places where the doctor injected the Botox are still somewhat puffy. My forehead looks so uneven :(
Answer: Botoxed! Yes that is completely within the normal after getting botox. It should resolve rather quickly. If it worsens or becomes red see your Dr. The true results can take up to a week some times depending on the dose and location of the treatment.Hope this helps,Best of luck,DrC

Answer: Welts after Botox Thank you for your question. It's difficult to gauge final results after only 24 hours. I would give it a few more days to give the swelling a chance to subside. If the welts are still visible, I would strongly recommend following up with your injector, especially if symptoms worsen.

Answer: It is highly unusual to have welts on the forehead a day after Botox injections Some small bumps in one or two Botox injection sites could occur if there is a little bruise but large multiple welts are not common at all. If anyone develops a reaction such as this, they should go back to their provider, hopefully a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon, immediately to be evaluated. Your doctor will want to know if there is any itching or if the welts are tender. If it is an allergic reaction, it may not be the Botox but it could be the solution with which the Botox was mixed. As an example it might be the preservative in the saline solution, but it could be a component of the Botox. A referral to an allergist may be helpful to sort it out.The information provided in Dr. Shelton's answer is for educational purposes only and is not intended to constitute medical advice.

Answer: Swelling after Botox Thank you for your pictures and question. Mild redness, bumps and swelling are very command expected after Botox injections, but typically are totally resolved in less than 30 minutes. Your reaction is definitely not typical. You might have bruising or have an allergic reaction. You should contact the office and inform them of your reaction. Hope this helps. Best, Dr. Avaliani
