I had botox done 2 days ago and I he hit a blood vessel causing a nickel size lump that he said would go away in 2 hours. It never went away though I iced it all day long. it shifted to under the eye and the whole area swelled up and bruised. it is day 3. He said it would go away in a couple days but it is worse. Do I need to go to a doctor (i dont have medical insurance) or will it go away on it's own and what can I do to help it heal quicker. I am scared as my job is dependant on my looks

Answer: Botox and bruising Bruising after Botox can occur. Most of the time it is visible the same day or the very next day. In some cases, however, it may become visible several days later. A bruise occurs when blood leaks out of a traumatized blood vessel. It could be that with strenuous activity or rubbing or due to blood thinners that an injured blood vessel dislodges a clot and causes some blood to leak into the tissue and thus cause a visible bruise (e.g. heavy exercise a few days later may results in a bruise). The bruise typically dissipates within a week or two.

Answer: Swelling 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).

Answer: It will go away 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.
