I just got 10 units of botox on my chin to clear out dimples. About 4 hours through, i noticed a ledge had formed when i pull out my lips... (Like when we kiss) is this normal?
Answer: Botox to the mentalis
Botox takes from a few days and up to 2 weeks to "kick in" - and based on your photo, it looks like a bolus of fluid as you engage your muscle. Try and let it settle in, and follow up with your provider in a couple of weeks for further assessment.

Answer: Botox for chin dimples
small amount of units of botox can be injected superficially for chin dimpling, sometimes referred to as peau d'orange (the skin of the orange). The effect is usually not seen for at least a few days. You may be noticing a bulge from a hematoma or other resons not easily explained. Please see your doctor for confirmation.

Answer: Bump on chin after Botox
It's difficult to address your answer in regards to the bump on you chin after Botox. It would be helpful to know what it looked like before the treatment and what it looks like when your face is at rest. It's possible that the bump is just due to some swelling after the injection. The best advice I could give you would be to contact your treating physician, as he or she would have the most knowledge about your particular treatment and would be able to answer your question better than anyone else.

Answer: Botox for Dimples on Chin Area
From the picture you are showing, taken just hours after the Botox injection, this may represent an irregular appearance from the volume of liquid injected. Similarly, if a picture is taken just a few days after Botox injection, the appearance of the skin of the chin upon contraction of the muscles in the area may be quite irregular, as only part of the muscle fibers have relaxed, while others remain still active leading to puckering and irregularities of surface contour in some areas. You should be able to see the final smooth results at 10 to 14 days post injection. Consult your treating physician if the irregularities persist at that point.

Answer: Bump after Botox
It would be helpful to see a picture prior to treatment and a picture at rest along with this picture of lip puckering. As this ledge/bump form soon after the injection, it is possible that there is some bruising or swelling which should eventually subside. I suggest you return to be evaluated by the injecting physician. (This answer is not intended nor implied to be a substitute for medical advice.
