Forehead Lumps and Bumps From Botox

how do stars like Nicole manage to continue to get botox and they dont have any problems like this?? beats me. Ive had your experience too where Ive had botox for a few years and had no problems and then just now, month ago actually, for the first time, the botox experience was terrible with droopy eyelid and some puffiness, that you think you do look better without the botox. I dont ever see Nicole looking worse for way with her botox experience, she never has a lumpy forehead??? will you be having it again??

Question: Forehead Lumps and Bumps from BOTOX®

Answer: I have never experienced forehead lumps and bumps from Botox®. The actual injection solution of BOTOX® is saline (sterile salt water). There is often a little temporary lump at each site where the BOTOX® is administered. When the saline is absorbed into the local subcutaneous tissues of the forehead, the lumps are gone (usually within an hour or two). A small hematoma that occurs when a small blood vessel is nicked with the needle or even a subsequent infection in the needle punctured site could produce a small lump but this is extremely rare. BOTOX® injections, by themselves, should not produce forehead lumps and bumps.

What Dr Dr. Sattenspiel is talking about, the temporary forehead bump and bruising just after the injection, I have had that and yes after aboout an hour the bruising (if any) and bumps have gone and settled. Its just that the injection giving was fresh. Does sound reassuring when he says that the botox injection should not leave the lumping that you have gotten. Im interested in knowing if perhaps the botox was off then as you asked. You said that you had a lower eyebrow - well no that is not the droopy eyelid. With the eyelid, its the eyelid that doesnt open all the way up so the eyelid just comes up half way up the eye and makes you look weird cos the other eye is right and open all the way and gives the look that you are 'starring' open eyed with the one eye. The eyebrow is the eyebrow and would give the look that the right eyebrow is up as in surprised look. That is prob what you have. I had that once too, but it was my eyebrow up too high. That was easily corrected though, my dr just injected a small dose into the forehead on top of the effected higher eyebrow to lower it and it was fine. THIS droopy eyelid thing that I just had now well I had to have drops for my eyes and unfortunately I needed my eye corrected by jan 8 cos my only daughter was getting married Jan 9 and my eye was not corrected by then. It was fine in the morning but by afternoon time and all the photo taking time, my eye was tired now and heavy and was drooped again so all the photoes of me full frontal have me with the droopy eye and im so distraught about that. Once I was able to put drops in during the reception, the eyelid lifted abit for the remaining of the evening, but by then all the portrait official photos had been taken. My eye was corrected the week AFTER wouldnt you know it, so all together it took just under a month to correct with the help of drops. sorry if im rambling -would I have it again - well right now I say no, but who knows when the botox all wears off and yes right now I do say that this time it was certainly a waste of money, I threw this money down the drain and at a time when I wanted to look my best, for my daughters wedding - everything was perfect but I would rather have had a bad zit or a coldsore (makeup can cover)than to have had that drooping eye- to me and I know you feel the same - it was like I had this deformity on that day and the camera has captured that for forever. I also do what you do and still do actually cos have to reassure that my eye is okay - and that is look in the mirrors when I pass by one, oh my Yes for sure I have been doing that too. The botox I dont want to give up is the botox for the lines inbetween the eyebrows (gabella or whatever) and for the forehead. I too loved my eyes being lifted but if it means the risk of droopy eyes time and time again, I cant live through that again. have you told friends etc, you have botox and what you are experiencing now is from the botox?? I dont usually say when I have it so I didnt say my droopy eyelid was from botox, I said I had an eye infection.

Hi April 1959! Yes, I understand and know what Dr. S is talking about. I too have had the same (slight bruising, little bumps, which is/was expected). It's the fact that I still, for whatever reason, have a lumpy forehead which is visible in and I can actually feel it when I run my finger across. My forehead is not smooth like it usually is and I can move my eyebrows a lot and pull them in. I will say that my doctor is into making a difference at the same time as keeping it natural, which is why I have been going to him. Something didn't take and I hope that these lumps go away! I went back for a follow up, and the doctor gave me a few more shots at no charge and said he saw what I was talking about. Guess what? Nothing happened. Still the same. My left eyelid is slightly lazy (we'll call it that) and my left eyebrow is lower than the right. Nothing like yours though. At this point, I will leave well enough alone. I am sorry that you had to go through what you went through. Timing! You must have been more than upset! Just like you, I know my face, my eyes, my forehead and I have that look I get right before I actually get Botox injections. Whenever I do get Botox, I feel uneasy about it, as I know what is being injected. However, I am not ready to do anything major. I look much younger than my age and now I feel like I need a brow lift because I don't know if Botox will take now. I am not happy, but at the same time, it's so superficial of me to be complaining when the people of Haiti are suffering. Anyway, I am glad to know that your situation has resolved. I am not ready to give up on fillers/Botox, but I am hesitant at this point.

I initially had the same reaction, deep cyst like pimples between my eyes after botox. It happened a couple of times and my doctor gave me two things to clear it up...First I used Dermatop 2 x a day morning and night(I think it helps the swelling) and then Clindasol cream 4x a day until they dried up. They totally worked!! We have since figured out a routine that keeps the breakout away and I can still do botox....3 or 4 days prior to botox appt I use the clindason cream a few times a day on the area that is usually affected, then I get my botox and continue the cream for another 2 or 3 days after. I haven't had another breakout after botox and I'm loving it!! Good luck, hope it works for you! As for any botox under the eye, no way! My doctor says she knows some dr.s will do it but she won't because it's too risky...droopy eyes etc....just a thought. I do the area between my eyes, my brow and crow's feet and it looks great and natural and I look super rested....
