The doctor who injected me with botox pressed down really hard on my injection sites (crow's feet, glabellar region, upper forehead) immediately after he injected me. Hours later, l notice a hematoma on my upper forehead, and some slight bruising by my eyes. I have been injected for years, and thought that pressure should be avoided to minimize the possibility of migration, especially by the eyes. Is this unusual practice?

CONTACT NOW Answer: Pressing down on injection sites It is always possible any time a needle pierces the skin that there will be some bleeding or bruising associated with the procedure. If bleeding is noted immediately upon injection, the bleeding and bruising can be minimized by applying direct pressure to the area. This should be performed in such a manner as to avoid moving the Botox around and to avoid unnecessary pressure. Bleeding or bruising risk can be minimized by seeing an expert physician injector.

Answer: Bruising with botox Bruising is a side effect of botox. He may have pressed hard on the injection sites to minimize the bruising. It is best to avoid any blood thinners like ibuprofen, alcohol and aspirin a few days prior to your treatment to minimize bruising.

Answer: Pressure after Botox Thank you for your question. While applying pressure to Botox injection sites is not necessarily a standard procedure, my suspicion is that a vessel was inadvertently punctured while injecting the Botox. Your injector may have been applying the pressure to avoid a bruise afterwards. However, the pressure itself will have no untoward effects, and should not "spread" the Botox. I would recommend you contact your injector and ask discuss this with him/her.I hope that this helps!-David Gilpin
