I got botox administered about a week ago for a dimpled chin, while the dimpling is improved but not gone, I noticed that when I frown I have this horrid bump that juts out. Is this normal? I never had this before the tox was administered.
Answer: Botox In Chin and Wierd Bump This chin just needs more botox injected as some of the muscle is compensating for the areas that were injected. I would wait 5-7 more days and if this still exists then see your injector for an assessment. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Contour changes following Botox injection I would strongly recommend following up with the person who did your injections so as to explore your options further. It may simply be that touching up your injections will provide you the outcome you need.

Answer: I had Botox on chin. Now I have a weird bump when I frown. Any suggestions? It's very helpful to actually watch you make frowning movements to be able to assess exactly what is happening. In the few cases that I have seen this the effect has resolved with targeted injections of a very small amount of additional Botox. Make sure that you're being cared for by an experienced plastic surgeon or dermatologist injector. You deserve that level of expertise. I hope this information is helpful for you.Stephen Weber MD, FACSDenver Facial Plastic Surgeon

Answer: Go see your doctor The quality of the photo does not make me confident in the reason for the bump, and I am unable to compare it to your "before" picture. It is possible this is a deep bruise, an infection, or a partial response to the Botox, causing compensatory strengthening of the untreated area. This would result in the muscle perhaps balling up. I do not think it is serious, but this is not an optimal outcome and it needs to be fixed.

Answer: Botox in chin Thanks for your question. There are a few possibilities but it could be due to only partial paralyzing of the mentalis muscle or over paralyzing the muscle. How many units were used and how many injection points were used? Was this an experienced injector? This is an advanced technique so be sure to get an experienced dermatologist or plastic surgeon consultation for recommendations and treatment options.
