Why do I have "lump" on my forehead after having Dysport injections 10 hours ago?

Question

I have had Botox 5x over the past 4 years. I had excellent results every single time. Today, I decided to trust my doctor and have Dysport. I have pea size lumps on my forehead around every injection site. It has been 10 hours since my injections. I have applied ice off and on since the injections. Please help me understand why this is happening and what to do for them. Thank you.

Hi, 
The most likely answer is a small collection of blood under the skin (hematoma) that should resolve in a couple of days.

Hi, Thank you for your post. Usually the lumps that you see after Botox or Dysport disappear in less than a half hour. It sounds like what you are describing is bruising. I would follow up with your injector.

Aldo Guerra, MD · Answer

The lump is not from the Dysport and it likely represents a small hematoma or swollen area from  the needle trauma. Make your injector aware of the situation. Next time they should be more careful or use a smaller needle.

This may be due to the injection procedure. I recommend following up with your Doctor for a formal evaluation. It can take 1-2 weeks for final results with Botox. Best, Dr. Emer

What you are describing , sounds like a small blood cloth under the skin, that can happen.  Use some hot compress and it will resolve in couple of days.
