Had botox, for the first time, in my 11s on the 9th. There is a small sore bump or raised area above my left eyebrow. Advice?

Thank you for your question. You are early in your post procedure course. Usually the patient sees the start of the neuromodulators, (Botox Dysport, Xeomin), working at day 4.  The fillers usually see some result early, but some modulation continues.  In our office we have patients come back at 2 weeks for their check on their neuromodulator or filler.  At that point, most of the swelling is usually down, and we have an idea of the result.  This may be delayed if the patient has a bruise.  Often, asymmetry can be improved.  If you desire more volume, most practices would charge you, as they have to pay for the product, etc.  Please make sure your well trained, experienced injector knows your current status.Jeffrey J.

Small bumps following Botox injections are usually the result of a small bruise or collection of blood beneath the skin and in the muscle.  The bump is safe to massage two days following Botox injections without any risk of side effects.  Be patient and any irregularities will resolve in time.  Facials are probably safe after three or four days following Botox injections with care around the injection sites.

Thank you for your question. I would not worry after 2 days your Botox is set. Most likely you bump is related to swelling or bruising from your injections and should resolve over the next few days. If you have any other concerns please follow up with your injector. Best of Luck!

All should be fine... dont panic! It is common for some people to get a slight bump at the injection site. this could be due to needle trauma and local inflamation. It should resolve on its own. Use of warm compresses may expedite the resolution. there is no issue with facials at this point. good luck!

I suspect the bump is related to some swelling or bruising from the injections and should resolved on its own over the next few days. I would not do anything to it, just let it resolve on its own. 

No worries, nothing will happen. The bump will go away soon enough. I would wait a week or so before doing any deep massage or exfoliation.

You should have no problem.  after 2 days the Botox is set and your touching it did not cause a problem and you can have a facial now. the little raised area is probably a little blood where the needle went in and will go away

you haven't done anything wrong. Most likely the bump is a small bruise which will resolve over the next few days to a week's time. You can apply some moist, warm compresses to help it go away. Good luck from New York City

Typically, I inform patients that they should avoid touching or putting pressure on the sites Botox was injected for four hours following the procedure. A facial massage should be held off for at least twenty four hours following your Botox injection. After that you don't need to worry as the Botox has had time to fully absorb. Any pain or lumps you have at the injection sites 48 hours after are likely from bruising which is common and will subside in a few days to a week depending on the size of the bruise.
I hope that helps.
