Can I get a face-lift injection twice a month? What will happen if I get a face-lift injection twice a month?

Face-slimming injections are the most popular plastic surgery procedure in plastic surgery hospitals. Face-slimming injections use botulinum toxin to relax the masseter muscles. They are suitable for those who are afraid of pain and do not want to have their bones shaved or their faces thinned. They can create a delicate and seamless small face without any pain or marks.

You should not inject face-lift injections twice a month, because injecting twice a month is considered frequent injections. The main ingredient of face-lift injections is botulinum toxin. Frequent injections of botulinum toxin can cause stiff facial expressions, sunken cheeks, and old age, or even loss of chewing function. Excessive injections can also lead to botulinum toxin poisoning, which can lead to irreversible consequences.

1. Side effects of facial stiffness

If you get a face-lift injection twice a month, you will definitely feel that your expression is stiff. This is because the single injection of a face-lift injection is generally less than 100 units, but if you get a booster injection when the original face-lift injection is still effective, it is very likely that it will exceed 100 units, and the impact of botulinum toxin on the muscles will be deepened, so the stiff expression will last for more than 8 weeks.

2. Sunken cheekbones make you look older

When injecting a face-slimming injection, if you inject it twice in a month to enhance the effect of face-slimming, the masseter muscle is likely to be greatly reduced, but the muscles above the masseter muscle that are not paralyzed will also atrophy to varying degrees due to the lack of traction from the muscles below, which will be reflected in the facial morphology as a depression under the cheekbones. This will make the whole person look older. Therefore, face-slimming injections should never be injected twice in a month.

3. The masseter muscle loses its chewing function

If fairies get two consecutive face-slimming injections a month, it is very likely that their masseter muscles will lose their chewing function. Why would continuous injections lead to loss of chewing function? This is mainly because the principle of face-slimming injections is to use botulinum toxin type A to act on cholinergic nerve endings, through the hull of local neurotransmitters, to prevent muscle fibers from contracting, reduce muscle tension, and thus lead to muscle relaxation and paralysis. Because the dose of a single face-slimming injection is not much, this muscle relaxation can also become ineffective as the body metabolizes the botulinum toxin. However, the illegal operation of getting two face-slimming injections a month is equivalent to paralyzing the muscles with a large amount of botulinum toxin. Therefore, it is inevitable that the masseter muscles will lose their chewing function.

4. Causes the body to develop drug resistance

Taking two consecutive injections in one month may cause the body to develop resistance to Botox, which may make the injection ineffective. There are some unscrupulous plastic surgery institutions in the medical beauty market. If you choose the more affordable Hengli injection, they will encourage you to take injections frequently, which greatly increases the probability of developing resistance to Botox.

5. Serious harm to health or cause death

If you have a face-lift injection within a month, it may be harmful to your health. This is mainly because botulinum toxin is also a neurotoxin. If you inject it beyond the prescribed course of treatment, it will affect your health. The symptoms of botulinum toxin face-lift injection poisoning usually appear between 2 hours and 8 days after contact with the poison, and most of the time it is between 12-72 hours. In severe cases, it can affect the respiratory muscles and cause respiratory failure. If it is not diagnosed and treated in time, the mortality rate can be as high as 50-60%. It can be said to be particularly terrible.

1. Eating hard food

After the face-lift injection, if the effect is not good, fairies will want to recover as soon as possible. Choosing to eat more hard and tough foods can increase the strength of the masseter muscle and make the effect of the face-lift injection ineffective as soon as possible. Then, a series of unsatisfactory effects after the face-lift injection can also disappear.

These foods include: 1. Hard foods: nuts, sugar cane; 2. Tough foods: animal tendons (such as beef tendons, sheep tendons); 3. Foods that need to be chewed repeatedly: chewing gum, etc.

2. Botox antibody to restore natural

After the face-lift injection, if the effect is not what you want, or even facial stiffness occurs and you cannot adapt (normal facial stiffness will ease in a week), you can choose to inject botulinum toxin antibodies to promote the natural recovery of facial muscle tissue. Although injecting botulinum toxin antibodies is not an economical choice, it is a more direct method when you urgently need to solve the poor effect of face-lift injections.

3. Avoid massage on a daily basis

Many fairies want to recover as soon as possible because they are not satisfied with the effect of face-lift injections. At this time, fairies must not use their hands to massage, because the botulinum toxin liquid that enters the masseter muscle after massage will penetrate into the adjacent facial muscles, causing unnatural expressions. If more muscles are affected, it will be more difficult to quickly restore muscle strength.

1. Avoid getting wet for 6 hours after surgery

After getting a face-lift injection, the first thing that fairies need to pay attention to is to avoid getting the needle holes in the body wet or steamy in order to make the needle holes recover quickly. This is because the wounds are easily infected by microorganisms in the water, causing needle hole infection and delaying the healing of the face-lift injection wounds.

2. Do not lie down for 4-6 hours after surgery

In order to quickly recover your body, it is best not to lie down and rest for 4-6 hours after the face-lift injection. This is because avoiding lying down and sitting or standing can effectively prevent the shape of the botulinum toxin from being destroyed and prevent the face-lift injection from affecting its effect.

3. Avoid scratching when there is slight redness, swelling or bruising

If you want to recover quickly after getting a face-lift injection, you should avoid scratching your hands if there is redness, swelling, or bruising. Because there are a lot of bacteria on your hands, scratching will only allow the needle hole to come into contact with bacteria, thus affecting the recovery of the wound. It may even affect the efficacy of the botulinum toxin in the face-lift injection.

4. Avoid spicy food

If you want to recover quickly after getting a face-lift injection, you should avoid spicy food. This is because after eating spicy food, the body will feel hot and sweaty. When sweat flows to the needle hole, it will affect the body's recovery. Therefore, after getting a face-lift injection, it is best to say no to spicy food.
