Bump around and above eyebrow after frown line was treated. (photo)

Question

I just had my first Botox injection 12 units for my 11. I see some changes , especially the bumps above and around my eyebrowns on both sides. I used ice pad to cool the swelling but it does not help. Is this normal or will it go away soon ? Please help

Thank you for your question. A before photo would be helpful to assess the area accurately. Schedule a follow up with your injector to discuss your concerns. Best,

It is possible to get some swelling near the eyebrows after a Botox treatment to the frown lines.  An ice pad can help for the first few days but this should resolve completely over time.  It should not last more than a few days to a week.  You did not mention when your treatment was done so I'm not sure how long it has been.  It also normally will take several days to a week to see the full effect to the frown lines from the Botox.

are really the outlines of the muscles...probably will go away with 2-3 units into the mid body of the corrugator muscles...do not believe the picture indicates anything wrong with the injections you received...just need a touch more and a little bit more laterally than the original treatment...
