What to do if your face is sunken due to face slimming injection? You cannot inject face slimming injection by yourself.

In order to make our face smaller, many friends who love beauty will get face-slimming injections. In recent years, the number of people getting face-slimming injections has become more and more common. Face-slimming injections can indeed make your face thinner.

1. Face slimming injection can strengthen the masseter muscle training

If the face becomes sunken after the face-lift injection, you can train the masseter muscle to make the injection ineffective in advance. Since the effect of the face-lift injection is to use botulinum toxin type A to act on cholinergic nerve endings, it has the effect of blocking the transmission of neurotransmitters and interfering with muscle contraction. The masseter muscle should not be overused after treatment. If the face becomes sunken after the face-lift injection, eating some harder and chewy snacks can help the masseter muscle get rid of the effect of the face-lift injection as soon as possible and restore its original appearance.

Foods that can be used for masseter muscle training include: 1. Harder foods: nuts, sugarcane; 2. Tough foods: animal tendons (such as beef tendons, sheep tendons); 3. Foods that need to be chewed repeatedly: chewing gum, etc.

2. Face slimming injections can be used to treat sunken faces by injecting botulinum toxin antibodies

If you unfortunately have sunken face after getting a face-lift injection, there are treatments that can improve the symptoms. If you have sunken face and are eager to change it, you can go to the doctor who originally performed Botox to reduce your face and ask if you can get Botox antibodies to promote recovery. Although Botox antibodies are not an economical option and are not easy to buy, it is a more direct method when you urgently need to solve the problem of facial stiffness.

3. The sunken face after face slimming injection can be left to degrade naturally

If you have sunken face after Botox injection, you can wait for the toxin to degrade naturally. This method is suitable for those who do not want to recover by eating snacks or taking antibodies despite the sunken face. According to clinical experience, the effect of Botox can usually last for four months. Therefore, you must be patient enough while waiting for the toxin to degrade naturally.

4. Do not massage the sunken face after face slimming injection

If your face is sunken after a face-lift injection, you must not massage it with your hands at this time, because the botulinum toxin liquid injected into the masseter muscle of the lower face may penetrate into the adjacent facial muscles after massage, causing unnatural expressions or aggravating the symptoms of stiff expression. Therefore, in order to avoid other complications of facial sunken after face-lift injection, you must not massage or spa your face.

5. If your face is sunken, do not continue to receive face-lift injections

If depression occurs after a face-lift injection, you should avoid another injection. In principle, the interval between two face-lift injections should not be less than 3 months. Otherwise, the surrounding muscles may not be able to withstand the excessive amount of botulinum toxin, which may lead to worse facial depression.

Botulinum toxin is usually injected into the muscle through a syringe, and will be injected into different places to achieve different effects. However, you cannot do it yourself because everyone's muscle position is different. Only professional doctors can inject it at a specific point for each customer. If the wrong position is injected, the consequences will be disastrous.

The composition of the face-lift injection is also botulinum toxin type A, which is a neurotoxin. A single injection of more than 2000U can cause death, and the maximum amount used in clinical practice is 300-600U. For face-lift, a 100U injection of botulinum toxin type A is enough. If the masseter muscle is not particularly hypertrophic, there is usually a little left to inject for crow's feet. A single injection of more than 800 units may cause side effects of face-lift injection.

1. Injection pain

Pain (pain during puncture), edema, ecchymosis, etc. are normal reactions after injection and generally do not require treatment. Among them, ecchymosis is mainly concentrated near the needle hole and takes 3 to 7 days to gradually subside. After injection in the forehead or around the eyes, a few people may experience upper eyelid edema.

Cause: Normal reaction after injection, no special treatment required.

2. Muscle weakness during chewing

After masseter muscle injection, there is weakness in chewing, and after frontalis muscle injection, there is weakened eyebrow lifting.

Cause: Normal drug reaction.

3. Drug diffusion reaction

Unnatural expression, asymmetrical expression, abnormal eyebrow position, crooked corners of the mouth, ptosis, diplopia, abnormal pronunciation, etc.

Reason: The drug dilution concentration is too low, or the injection point is too close to other muscles that do not need treatment. After a short period of time, the drug will diffuse to the surrounding and deep parts, which may cause some innocent muscles to relax. Fortunately, the drug effect only lasts for a few months, and the muscle can recover on its own after the muscle conduction signal is re-established.

4. Allergies

Mild: local rash, erythema, edema; Severe: shock, cardiac and respiratory arrest, etc.;

Reason: Personal constitution. Botulinum toxin is a protein, and its preparation also contains various other excipients (such as gelatin, albumin, etc.). These substances are antigenic and may cause allergic reactions. Therefore, generally responsible doctors will arrange for the patient to be hospitalized for observation half an hour after the injection.

5. Immune Response

The effect of re-injection of botulinum toxin is not good

Cause: The individual's physique has produced antibodies to botulinum toxin, with an incidence rate of about 5%.

6. General malaise

Fatigue, headache, nausea, mild fever, dizziness, muscle soreness, etc. (may occur in a very small number of people)

Cause: Unknown. Most are transient and resolve on their own.

7. Others

Numbness, photophobia and tearing, headache, tightness in the forehead, deepening of wrinkles in adjacent areas, etc.

Cause: Unknown. Most are transient and resolve on their own.
