Are there any risks in getting a face-lift injection?

Face slimming is an activity that modern people pay great attention to, because excessive fat accumulation on the face is a typical obesity problem, which causes great damage to people's image. Obese people not only look very clumsy, but also the health problems caused by obesity are difficult to be effectively controlled. The main way to solve facial obesity is to use face-slimming injections, but are there any risks in getting face-slimming injections? Let’s take a look at the explanation below.

How harmful are face-lift injections?

The main ingredient in face-slimming injections is BOTOX, a commonly used biological agent that can block the exchange of information between muscles and nerve endings, leaving the muscles in a relaxed state.

Dangers of face-lift injections:

1. It is easy to have asymmetry on the left and right sides of the face after a face-slimming injection. This situation occurs when the dosage or concentration on the left and right sides is different during injection, or even when the injection site is asymmetrical, which leads to asymmetry of the face on both sides.

2. You may experience difficulty swallowing after getting a face-slimming injection. This is because the dosage is too large and a large amount of botulinum toxin causes muscle relaxation and atrophy, and reduced masseter muscle activity.

3. After getting a face-slimming injection, you may experience muscle stiffness and unnatural facial expressions. This is because Botox injections can tighten muscles, and too much Botox can cause muscle stiffness.

4. The face-slimming effect of face-slimming injections is not permanent. Generally, the effect of face-slimming injections can last for about half a year. If the face-slimming injection is not effective, although multiple injections can be performed, the more multiple injections, the greater the risk.

Ways to alleviate the harm of face-lift injections:

1. Preoperative preparation must be passed. Preoperative preparation must first control the choice of medical institutions and choose regular and experienced doctors. Second, before the operation, you must fully communicate with the doctor about your physical condition, such as what kind of medication you are taking, what medical history you have, etc.

2. Stay relaxed during the operation. When undergoing face-slimming injection surgery, you should pay attention to relaxing your body and mind, and cooperate with the doctor. Note that when injecting botulinum toxin, several injection points are generally selected on each side of the face. The whole process is completed in a few minutes, and then the face will feel a little swollen. There is no need to be too nervous during this process.
