Is the first face-lift injection noticeable? What are the post-injection care methods?

Many people are not satisfied with their face shape and want to improve the size of their face through medical cosmetic surgery. Face-slimming injections are one of the most popular methods of face-slimming and can make your face slimmer quickly.

The first injection of face-lifting can achieve the ideal effect, but it takes a period of recovery. During this period, try to avoid eating some high-fat and greasy foods, and should focus on a light diet. If it is not particularly obvious, you can inject it for the second or third time. When the effect is still not obvious after the third injection, you should stop the injection to avoid botulinum toxin from damaging the skin. The face-lifting effect can be seen about two weeks to one month after the injection of the face-lifting injection. However, some people may see obvious results within 1-2 weeks. Some people don’t need to worry if they have not seen any effect for a period of time, because the speed at which the face-lifting injection works on each person is different. Under normal circumstances, the best effect can be achieved after a maximum of three months, and the masseter muscle can be clearly seen to shrink by about 30%. After the injection of the face-lifting injection, you must keep a happy mood and a regular life. You must drink more water on weekdays, especially a large glass of warm water every morning. Because this can better guarantee the best effect in the future.

1. After the injection, some people will experience slight redness and swelling on the skin at the injection site, which will disappear within a few hours after the treatment. A few people will experience slight bruising after the treatment, which will disappear quickly.

2. Within 4-6 hours after treatment, it is best for the patient to sit or stand, which can effectively avoid the destruction of the shape of the botulinum toxin. (4-6 hours after surgery, it is forbidden to lie flat and exercise should be minimized)

3. Within 6 hours after the treatment, the person receiving the treatment is advised not to wash their face or put on makeup, and not to touch (massage) the injection site with their hands. (Do not use cosmetics on the whole face within 24 hours after the injection, do not get it wet or contaminated, and do not apply external medications, cosmetics, or other irritating items to the injection site and the surrounding area within 72 hours after the injection)

4. After the treatment is completed, you need to go to the hospital for a follow-up examination one week later to check the condition of the injection site. (It is recommended to follow up after one week)

After the face-lift injection treatment, you can apply a facial mask the next day. Because the wound caused by the face-lift injection is only a few small pinholes, it can generally heal in 6 hours without contact with water. However, since many masks with a more viscous texture need to be washed after application, in order to avoid the dispersion of the face-lift injection ingredients due to washing your face, it is a better choice for you to wait until the next day to apply a facial mask after the face-lift injection. It should be noted that when applying a facial mask after the face-lift injection, you must pay attention to the following matters:

1. The mask cannot be heated

It is suitable for cold weather. Some fairies will fully heat the mask before applying it, which can make the mask application more comfortable and promote the skin to absorb more mask nutrients. But it should be noted that the mask should not be heated after the face-lift injection. Because the face-lift injection contains liquid ingredients, applying a heated mask after the face-lift injection is equivalent to a hot compress. Hot compress will cause the effective ingredient of the face-lift injection - botulinum toxin to diffuse into the adjacent facial muscles, thereby exacerbating the occurrence of unnatural expressions. Therefore, it is best not to heat the mask after the face-lift injection.

2. Do not apply a facial mask while lying down

If you want to apply a facial mask after getting a face-lift injection, you can generally wait patiently until the next day. But it should be noted that you must not lie down when applying a facial mask. This is because after the face-lift injection, the botulinum toxin type A gradually diffuses with the movement of the muscles, and lying down to apply a facial mask may cause the main components of the face-lift injection to diffuse, affecting the muscles around the masseter muscle, resulting in a large area of ​​facial stiffness after the face-lift injection. Therefore, if you want to apply a facial mask the day after getting a face-lift injection, it is best not to lie down.

3. Do not massage after applying the mask

If you want to apply a mask after getting a face-lift injection, you must be careful not to massage after applying the mask. Although many fairies have the habit of doing a face-lift massage after applying a mask, massaging after a face-lift injection may cause the botulinum toxin liquid injected into the masseter muscle to penetrate into the adjacent facial muscles, affecting our natural expressions. Therefore, if you apply a mask after getting a face-lift injection, you must be careful not to massage after applying it.

Clench your teeth and feel the position of your masseter muscle with your hands. If your masseter muscle is large and hard, then you need a face-slimming injection! Many fairies have big faces that are obviously not related to masseter hypertrophy, but are large bony faces. Many people confuse masseter hypertrophy with mandibular hypertrophy. The mandibular bone is large and angular, making the face look square. The presence of angular bones on the temples makes the face look larger and dull. Face-slimming injections are the natural enemy of masseter hypertrophy. If you have a big face caused by masseter hypertrophy, face-slimming injections can definitely make your face smaller and V-shaped!
