Lump, Swelling and Bruising After Botox

It will go away eventually, and it usually takes about a week or two. I'm sorry to hear that this happened but fortunately, you'll notice it disappear gradually. Arnica supplements may help, and avoid smoking, drinking and taking medications that encourage bleeding (like ibuprofen and aspirin).

Swelling and bruising are common after Botox. To minimize these temporary effects, apply a cool compress. You may also want to consider stopping any medications that thin the blood for about a week before your treatment to minimize bruising. These medications include aspirin, ibuprofen and St. John's Wort.

if the lump is a collection of blood, a hematoma, from injecting a blood vessel inadvertently, then it has a good chance of resolving by itself. some hematomas can dissolve faster by using warm compresses. Contact the doctor who injected the Botox to ask advice.
