I have been receiving Botox injections for a couple of years without any difficulties or side effects. However, the injection I had yesterday from a well-known plastic surgeon has left me with sore lumps on my forehead. I recently learned that it's advised not to take blood thinners like Vitamin E before the procedure, which I did. I'm wondering if this could be the cause of the sore lumps. Can you please help me understand?
Thank you for your question. It is not uncommon to experience some swelling and possible bruising after receiving Botox injections. Allow the areas to heal and give it some time. If you notice any changes or have concerns, I recommend speaking with your injector to discuss your specific situation. Wishing you all the best.
It is common to experience small bumps at the injection sites after receiving Botox. These bumps usually subside within an hour. Some physicians use a larger volume of solution when reconstituting their Botox, which may result in larger bumps. However, this should not affect the treatment outcome. Bruising can also occur. If the bumps persist, it is advisable to consult your plastic surgeon.
Lumps after Botox injections usually occur immediately after the treatment and resolve quickly. However, if you still have lumps the next day, it could indicate an allergy, and it is advised to return to your treating physician for examination.
If lumps after a procedure do not go away within a few hours, gentle icing and avoiding pushing on the lumps can help. If the issue persists, consulting with the appropriate healthcare professional is advised.
