Why is there a bump on my forehead in between my eyebrows that is kind of tender after getting Botox?

Most likely, your bump is a small area that bled and left a bump of blood. It will slowly go away over the next week or so. Hopefully is won't become visible as a bruise. There's not much to do other than be patient.Andrew Campbell, M.D.

Hi there, thank you for your question. It is very common to get a little bump after an injection. Likely just a little bruise under the skin. Usually resolves within a few days.  Hope this helps.Dr. Solomon

Hi,Thank you for your question.It's hard to say without seeing a photo or examining you in person but likely it is a small bruise from your treatment. It's possible the needle hit a blood vessel and resulted in a bruise. It should resolve on its own in a few days without any lasting effects.Hope this helps!

This can be from your Botox treatment and should resolve in the next few days. It takes 1-2 weeks for final results with Botox. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for your question. Some patients do get small bumps or bruises from botox. It should go away quickly. If not, reach out to the plastic surgeon you saw and request to have a follow up appointment. 

Thank you for sharing your question and I am sorry to hear of your painful lump.  At times the needle used to inject botox can cause a small amount of bleeding under the skin.  This can result in a "deep" bruise which can be tender.  This will resolve on its own over a week's time so hang in there!

Thanks so much for reaching out. You may have a small hematoma which is a pierced blood vessel that bled from the needle that injected Botox. You may see some bruising in this area as well. It should be self-limiting and go away on its own over the next 7 to 10 days.Hope this helps :-)

A tender bump on your forehead a day after receiving Botox is not uncommon.  This probably represents a small hematoma from the injection needle.  Apply some ice to the area.  This usually resolves in a couple of days.  

Dear Beth, From your history it appears that you most likely have a small bruise following Botox, which is uncommon. It will go away quickly and your Botox will take effect between 3 and 7 days. If you have any further questions please follow up with your Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. Best wishes, Richard Wellington Swift, M.D.

Sounds like you developed a small bruise from the injection. Ice can help to reduce swelling when used on and off for the first 24 hours. After that it will just take some time to resolve in a few days. If it doesn’t, you should make sure to see your doctor.
