Asked By:Lorinurse in North Carolina, NC

After receiving Botox several places on face, total of 32 units, the next morning there was two lumps slightly above eyebrows. No lumps at other injection sites (very top of forehead, corners of eyebrow and chin. Lumps are red and swollen, painful to the touch. Never has happened before. Had Botox done probably 12 times. Usually get a small bruise at injection site. Any ideas?
