Is Swelling And Lumpiness 1 Day After Botox In Chin Normal?

September 23, 2011
Asked By:SF_Dancer in Alameda, CA

I had Botox injections in my chin yesterday to smooth out the muscle (by a board certified cosmetic surgeon). Today, the muscle that was injected is swollen and lumpy - very elevated compared to the surrounding area. It is spongy to the touch and flattens out if I stretch the skin. It doesn't hurt at all. Is this a common side effect? Is it likely to resolve soon/completely? I've been taking ibuprofin and applying ice to the area to reduce swelling.
