After getting three (3) cc's of Botox injected into the center of my chin, I have swelling that looks like a large fish-oil capsule was implanted in the center of my chin. It appears to have liquid in it, but isn't painful. Should I be concerned, and will it go away soon? The doctor said perhaps we should inject more Botox, but that doesn't sound like a good idea to me. What is your advice please?

Answer: Chin swelling after botox As you may have realize by now, learning what and exactly how much was injected is critical in predicting it's course. Delicate areas such as chin and corner of the mouth require conservative amount of neurotoxin and very precise injections. if it was just Botox, waiting out for next few days may be the best suggestion. If the swelling persists beyond 2 weeks, further manipulation with minimal Botox and or filler may be an option.Discuss with your injector about your concerns and options at that time. Good luck!

Answer: Lumps after Botox I don't think you had 3 cc Botox injected because in the standard dosing that would be well over 100 units or a full vial plus. Are you sure it was Botox and not filler? Something here is just not computing
