Answer: Is there a correlation between Botox and increased blood platelets?
Most likely a small blood vessel was nicked with the botox injection in the crows feet. Blood and fluid migrates very easily in the eye area. It probably collected in the "tear trough" area while sleeping. Try ice packs, arnica, and see if your injector offers a pulsed dye...
Lumps after Botox typically happen immediately after and do away fairly quickly. However, if you have these lumps the next day it could possibly signal an allergy. I would return to your treating physician for examination. Best, Dr. Green
Thank you for your question. From the information you have provided, you should not suffer any contraindications from Botox. Discuss your medical history with an expert injector before treatment. All the best,
