The face-lift injection has no effect after 20 days. How long should I wait for it to be replaced?

Face-slimming injections are a very common medical cosmetic surgery method. The main function of face-slimming injections is to slim the face. Face-slimming injections are most effective for people with enlarged masseter muscles. Some people do not see any effect after face-slimming injections.

1. The patient has too much facial fat or large bones

If you don't see any effect after 20 days of face-lift injections, the biggest reason is that you don't really have masseter hypertrophy, but rather fat or bone problems, so the effect of face-lift injections is not as good as you would like. Please note that this does not mean that there is no effect at all, but that it is not that good, because Chinese people basically have some masseter hypertrophy problems, but the severity varies.

2. Frequent face-lift injections produce antibodies

If the patient has taken large doses of Botox injections frequently before, there may be no effect after 20 days. Because of the large doses of injections, some people may produce antibodies, which may cause the injections to fail (about 5% incidence), or due to individual differences, some people may not respond to the drug. In this case, if you are abroad, you can consider using Botox type B as an alternative treatment, but this drug has not been introduced in China, so it is difficult to find.

3. Face-slimming injections may be fake medicine

If the face-lift injection has no effect after 20 days, it may be that the beauty seeker has encountered a fake face-lift injection. The incidence of this situation in regular institutions is negligible, and it mainly occurs in unreliable black clinics or beauty salons. However, since it has been mentioned, I would like to emphasize again that for safety and for your effective beauty, you really should not go to black clinics and micro-plastic surgery studios in your circle of friends.

For people with abnormally developed masseter muscles, it is best to wait 3 to 4 months between the second face-lift injection and the first, half a year between the third and the fourth, and one year between the fourth and the third. For people with smaller masseter muscles, it is recommended to have a face-lift injection half a year later. If you do it in succession, you can generally enjoy the full effect of the face-lift injection.

Many fairies think that face-slimming injections can be completely fixed after three injections. Let me tell you that this is a commercial gimmick of plastic surgery institutions. After three injections, the masseter muscle is not completely fixed. Whether the masseter muscle will be reduced is closely related to the patient's own biting habits. If the patient does not correct the bad biting habits (including reducing or not eating harder food; correcting the habit of nighttime grinding; correcting the habit of unilateral chewing), then even if 3-5 injections are given, the face will rebound. The ultimate secret of face-slimming is to correct your chewing and biting habits.

If you say that the face-lift injection has no effect just one week after the injection, then don't worry too much. If the face-lift injection has no effect just one week after the injection, it is simply because the face-lift injection has not yet reached its shrinking time. The masseter muscle does not become smaller immediately after the injection of Botox, but will gradually become smaller after a period of disuse and atrophy, so it usually takes about two weeks to gradually show the effect (at this time, you can only feel that the masseter muscle has become significantly smaller, and the overall change in face shape may not be obvious). This is the law of nature. Please be patient if you have only had the face-lift injection for a week.
