I got 25 units botox injected in each side of my masseter 3 weeks ago. For a week after my jaw was extremely swollen on both side. The swelling has reduced since then but there is still a visible bulge when i clench my jaw. Could it be a hematoma or seroma? Would massaging it help?

Its funny my jaw is actually bigger than it was after getting botox..
