I had Botox on Thursday evening and when I woke up yesterday I had a bump/ ledge across my chin when I move my mouth in certain positions. The bump does not hurt and no signs of infection. My treating professional is overseas now for 2 weeks and I want to know whether to wait and the bump will go on its own or whether I need corrective Botox. I had one injection in the chin area. Also I have deep lines down sides of much in that were not there before. Thanks for any help- I really appreciate it!!
