The professional name of the face-slimming injection is botulinum toxin, which is a biological product that can be mass-produced through genetic engineering methods. Because of its nerve blocking effect, it is very commonly used in neurology, ophthalmology, plastic surgery and cosmetic surgery.

Why do so many celebrities have awkward facial stiffness after using face-lift injections?

Since the working principle of face-slimming injections is to contract overly relaxed muscles, facial expressions will become stiff in the early stages of injection, for example, you will not be able to frown. However, the degree of stiffness of this expression, and whether it can be noticed by others, is closely related to the doctor's skills. However, after repeated injections of botulinum toxin, the masseter muscle remains paralyzed, causing it to permanently atrophy and shrink, which may lead to unnatural and embarrassing facial expressions.

Side effects of face-lift injections

1. Face-lift injections have caused me so much pain: my face is stiff and my smile is unnatural

The most common side effects of face-slimming injections are a stiff face and unnatural smile. A celebrity was once exposed for having abnormal facial stiffness while participating in an event after getting a face-slimming injection.

2. You made me suffer from face-lift injections. Asymmetry or muscle weakness on both sides

Common side effects of face-slimming injections include asymmetry between the two sides or muscle weakness at the injection site. Some "beauticians" are unfamiliar with anatomy, and the injection sites are not precise, or the concentration and dosage are too large, which often causes ptosis of the eyelids, drooping eyebrows, local swelling, fever and other phenomena.

3. You made me suffer from swallowing difficulties

If an excessive amount is injected into the face, it may cause difficulty in swallowing. Because the big face-slimming injection is to inject botulinum toxin into the hypertrophic muscles, which will then relax and atrophy the muscles, reduce muscle activity, and shrink and become smaller. After a large amount of injection, it is easy to cause difficulty in swallowing.

Tips: Face-slimming injections usually become ineffective after half a year and need to be re-injected. Moreover, the injection effect is not 100%. After several injections, some people's bodies develop antibodies against face-slimming injections, making subsequent injections ineffective.

In addition, many people will develop "injection dependence" after the injection. Once they see their skin condition deteriorating, they find it difficult to accept it, and it unknowingly develops into a new type of mental illness.
