Botox injection in the jaw: I realized that I have bruising and a bulge afterwards. (Photos)

It can take up to 2 weeks for final results with Botox. Icing, arnica and cold compresses may give improvement. I would wait a full 2 weeks before assessing whether you need a touch-up. Hope this helps.

Bruising following Botox injections into the masseter muscle is not uncommon.   The bulge might be from a small bruise or hematoma in the muscle itself.  This should resolve without problem.  

Thank you for your question. From your description it sounds as if you might have a bruise in that area, which can happen any time the skin is broken with a needle. The bruise will go away and it may never be a purple bruise if it is a deep one, usually takes 10-14 days for a bruise or inflammation resolves. The onset of BOTOX is between 2-14 days with full effect being 14 days. Be patient and I am sure you will love your results. If the bulge or pain does not go away in 2 weeks contact your provider. I hope I was able to help you
