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: Large tender lump on brow after Botox Thank you for sharing your question and photographs and I am sorry to hear of your swelling issues. Most likely the Botox injection performed in this area hit a vein that created a small blood pocket, termed a hematoma. A hematoma will typically resolve with cold compresses, a small amount of pressure, and time. See your injector for an evaluation to ensure no other issues are taking place and so that they can ensure your uncomplicated healing. Hope this helps.

Answer: Tender Lump on Brow Based on your photo it looks like you have a small hematoma. A hematoma is a small collection of blood under the skin. You should put some ice on the lump and call your injector for an evaluation.

Answer: Lump after Botox injection The lump probably represents a small hematoma (bruise) however I don't think anyone can say with certainty without first examining you in person. I recommend that you followup with your injector given you concern.

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.
