Tender Spot from Botox? (photo)

B
Botox_QueryOct 7, 2013

I had botox injections for my 11s and there abouts just over a month ago. Above my left eye, along the eyebrow bone there is a very tender spot that if I don't pay attention is very painful to the touch. It only hurts when touched/scratched, but the pain doesn't seem to be getting better as of yet. Do you think one of the injections hit a nerve? There is no bump or anything. Do I just wait it out? Thanks!

Hello, Botox works through preventing muscle motion. As a result it decreases the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles associated with facial motion. Facial fillers, such as Juvederm, create volume and would be the most appropriate for your concerns. Be healthy and be well, James M....

Bathing is fine after your treatment. Bruising can get worse if you drink alcohol so soon after your treatment. You may want to wait a couple of days, or longer if you have excessive bruising.

Dear Marsha, Botox, good and bad, lasts between 3-4 months in the average individual. If patients receive injections on a regular basis, then effects have been seen up to 6 months (not common). Regardless, be careful with regard to sleeping as your eyes may not close all the way, get dry,...

Creases in the chin could be caused by attachments of the mentalis muscle to the skin and subcutaneous tissue. Botox and Dysport work great to improve these. Other creases could be from the marionette lines and pre jowl sulcus which can be improved with dermal fillers and a chin implant.

The horizontal line seen with smiling can be a natural part of a smile. Some patients after rhinoplasty will see this line occur and it typically disappears at month 3. For patients concerned about this line, botox can be used to soften the line. Fillers can also be used to help this area.

There is no specific contraindication to having a glass of wine the night before receiving Botox.  Large quantities of alcohol or prolonged consumption will lead to bruising/bleeding complications, but occasional use will not.  Relax and enjoy!
