Lump Above Eyebrow After Botox in Forehead

Botox injected into the forehead can lead to a bump if a vessel was inadvertently punctured.  The forehead has several veins and sometimes can be injured during botox injection, though rare.  If this happens, you can get a bump from a small collection of blood under the skin.  This will resolve over 7-10 days but can put pressure on surrounding nerves that can cause a pressure sensation.  Some patients describe a headache they get for the first week after receiving botox; this may be a possibility as well.

Lumps after botox are not common but can occur.  There are several causes of bumps include:-bruise when blood vessel is hit-allergic reaction to saline component which can occur in some patients-swelling of the periosteum (lining of the skull) if injection was too deep.Thankfully, bumps typically resolve in a few days so consult with your injecting physician.

You should see your doctor to evaluate your condition in person.  Your doctor might say that you have a localized swelling or you might have a hematoma, which is a collection of blood.  This may along with the symptoms, go away.  You should make sure your doctor sees it.
