They aren’t horns, they are bumps.<\/h3>\n
Well, that sounds almost as bad. \u00a0But these bumps are from the injection of Botox under the skin and sometimes into the muscle (depending on the location of Botox injections). \u00a0Botox is reconstituted as a liquid (from a powder), and then injected as a liquid in these locations. \u00a0Liquids will naturally take up some space, and they look like little bumps. \u00a0Probably a little bit bigger than those TB testing shots that we get from time to time in our forearms.<\/p>\n
The bumps usually go away in about 15-30 minutes.<\/h3>\n
Fortunately the Botox bumps usually go away in a few minutes. \u00a0Sometimes by the time a patient drives home.<\/p>\n
The Botox bumps I’m discussing in this blog are the ones that can be seen immediately after a Botox injection. \u00a0I’m not discussing bumps that occur hours after or days after the Botox injection.<\/p>\n
What else could it be?<\/h3>\n
If these Botox horn or Botox bumps don’t go away, it could be something else like a hematoma. \u00a0A hematoma is a collection of blood – from bleeding, which could happen after injections with a needle. \u00a0 And the collection of blood could cause the bump. \u00a0Hematomas will also resolve with time, but ideally, I try to avoid large hematomas by observing the injection site during and after my Botox injections. \u00a0Sometimes hematomas can’t be avoided. \u00a0But I would try to minimize them. \u00a0A smaller Botox needle<\/a> might help, too. \u00a0 Hematomas usually will result in bruises which will also resolve. \u00a0At least this is what I do in my Modesto Botox Practice<\/a>.<\/p>\n If you haven’t looked directly at my crows feet or glabellar lines – in person and at my office – then we have not established a formal doctor-patient relationship. \u00a0Please see your own doctor. \u00a0There is no medical advice here, just medical information for general use – nothing here is directed at any specific person.<\/p>\n Botox Vials<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" “I have horns!” Horns right after Botox injections? \u00a0 I heard this exclamation after a Botox injection today. \u00a0And I thought to myself – what a great topic for my Modesto Botox Blog.
