Asked By:Magdalena4326 in New York, New York

I had 12 units of Botox injected in the muscle above my inner brow and the muscle became swollen after the injection. I thought it was a hematoma but it hasn’t resolved. The injector didnt provide any answers. One of the docs here said that when the muscle gets injected it gets thicker and a lump can form from the muscle contracting. Not sure what he means. Even when I don’t make any facial expressions the bump is still there. Will it go away when Botox wears off?
