Are lumps on my forehead a result of my last Botox treatment? (Photos)

HalouvstarsAug 27, 2018
I have been getting botox for my migraines for 2 years and have never had a reaction. About 4 or 5 days after my last treatment(2 and a half weeks ago) a giant lump formed above my eyebrow, it went away after 2 days but other lumps have been forming and going back down on my forehead and hairline since. My eyes also swelled from days 5-10. My neurologist said it had nothing to do with botox when I contacted the office, and she did not want to see me, but I feel it has to be related to my botox.

Yes, Botox can be used to reduce the temporal muscle and can be used to treat migraines. I recommend seeing a Doctor with experience with this type of injection. Hope this helps.

I recommend following up with your injector. Tenderness should resolve in a few days. In the mean time, venus legacy treatments may give improvement. Best, Dr. Emer

Some tenderness is typical for 1-2 weeks after injections. If it persists, I recommend following up with your injector. Best, Dr. Emer

No, it is unlikely that Medicaid will cover Botox. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. It takes 1-2 weeks for final results with Botox. Best, Dr. Emer

I recommend following up with your injector about after care following your Botox treatment. It should be fine to apply cosmetics and wash your hair/face after your treatment. Botox results resolve in 3-4 months. Best, Dr. Emer

It is unlikely that Botox is causing this. Botox results resolve in 3-4 months and at this point would be out of your system. If it persists, I recommend following up with your Doctor. Best, Dr. Emer
