Bump under eye after Botox

Question

I had botox yesterday under my eyes. The right one is fine but the left one seems to have a bump of some sort? I only see it when I smile. Doesn't hurt or anything. No discoloration. Wasn't there yesterday but noticed it when I woke up today.

I am not certain as to the cause of
this bump you are describing. I would wait until 10-14 days when the Botox
treatment is completely effective, and if the bump is still there, I would
follow-up with your treating physician. It does not sound to be worrisome if it
is not causing you discomfort.

If you were just injected 1 day ago and have a problem or concern, I would contact  the physician you trusted to perform your injections..

This could be a area of mild swelling or bruise. I suggest warm compresses and some patience.  It will get better in a few days.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Consult with your doctor who did the injection. The most probably is that you got some swelling or a small hematoma in that site. If is not painful or red, I will not worry too much, and in few days will be gone.

Julia Ann Sullivan Miller, MD · Answer

Without actually seeing the problem area it is difficult to determine what is going on.  Botox itself, does not cause any bumpiness under the skin.  However, it is possible that the process of injecting the Botox caused some subdermal swelling.  This swelling should diminish in a few days.  If it doesn't you should consult with your doctor.
