Is it normal to have sunken face after face slimming injection? How long does it take for the stiff face after face slimming injection to disappear?

Face-slimming injections are one of the most popular items in beauty salons. Face-slimming injections can help to slim the face very well and have been tried by many beauty lovers. Face-slimming injections are painless and leave no marks, and are most effective for facial hypertrophy due to hypertrophy of the masseter muscles.

It is normal to have facial depression after a face-lift injection. This is mainly because the face-lift injection is injected in the wrong place. In addition, excessive doses or too concentrated injections can also cause atrophy of the zygomatic and cheek muscles after the injection, resulting in facial depression. After 3-4 weeks, the facial depression will return to normal as the efficacy of the face-lift injection gradually decreases. If facial depression persists for more than four weeks, you need to consult a doctor as soon as possible.

The symptom of facial stiffness after the face-slimming injection is a normal reaction to the injection of botulinum toxin and will gradually disappear after 3-4 weeks. The reason why the face becomes stiff after the face-slimming injection is that the masseter muscle strength is weakened after the face-slimming injection, which will lead to unnatural facial expressions.

However, if you still have facial stiffness 3-4 weeks after the injection of Botox, it is likely due to improper operation by the operator. The following improper operation can cause facial stiffness that lasts for more than 3-4 weeks, so you need to consult a doctor and receive treatment as soon as possible.

1. Wait for it to fade away

If you have facial depression after the injection, it is best to wait for it to fade away. If you don't want others to notice your stiff facial expression, it is best to reduce the number of gatherings during this period.

2. Avoid re-injection

If the face is sunken after the injection, you should avoid another injection. In principle, the interval between two injections should not be less than 3 months, otherwise the surrounding muscles will not be able to withstand the large dose of botulinum toxin, which will aggravate the sunken face.

3. Cannot continue massage

If your face is sunken after a face-lift injection, you must not continue to massage. Because Botox is a liquid, if you massage after surgery, it will definitely cause the Botox to diffuse into the adjacent facial muscles, thereby exacerbating the occurrence of unnatural expressions, so you cannot massage after injecting Botox.
