Lump and pain near Dysport injection area

Question

I received dysport two days ago and I've got a lump and pain near the injection area. I did feel some liquid running down my face after the injection was done. Is this lump some dysport that's didn't get dispersed well and what do I do? Is it Common to feel this bruise like lump?, I've never had it with prior injections by another doctor.

Hello and thanks sharing your concerns. I agree with most of the other answers and believe you have a small bruise where the injection took place. Icing the area certainly will help! Best, Dr. ALDO

What you are describing sounds like a deep bruise.  I would recommend icing the area for about 5 minutes every few hours.  This will likely resolve soon but may become more visible as a resolving bruise in a day or 2.

Great question, it's one I hear a lot.

It is very normal to have a little pain and swelling around an injection site. Advil and ice 20mins on and 20mins off while awake can help relieve this discomfort. As previously mentioned, infection is exceedingly rare with Dysport injections. The drip you felt was either a bit of Dysport or a drop of blood- either one wouldn't contribute to anything wrong.

If the pain increases or becomes red and swollen, notify your injector.

Thanks and have a great weekend in Hawaii!

This is most likely swelling and bruising as a result of your injection. It may take a few weeks for it to resolve and for you to have your final results. You can follow up with your Dr. if you remain concerned. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for the question. Based on your description this sounds like a bruise from the injection. This can happen anytime a needle is used in the skin. Icing the area can help with swelling and bruising. It is best to contact your treating physician for an evaluation
