Had botox 24 hours ago and shortly afterwards a large, tender painful and swollen lump appeared above one brow. There is another another mosquito bite size lump higher up. No bruising, minimal redness, just swelling. Is this common or worrisome? How long until it goes away? Will it affect the results?

Answer: Painful lump after Botox Although it is hard to tell for sure without examining you, based on your description and photos it is most likely a small hematoma, which is a collection of blood under the skin that occurred when the needle hit a blood vessel. It will resolve on it's own, but if it doesn't improve or gets worse you should see the physician that performed the procedure for further evaluation. Good luck.

Answer: Large lump after Botox This is obviously not normal and needs to be looked at by your doctor. If it is not bruised, it can represent infection. Any saline injected with the Botox should be absorbed after 24 hours.
