2. The interval between two injections is too short.

It is recommended that in order to ensure better face-slimming effects, botulinum toxin can be injected multiple times, but the interval between each treatment should not be less than 3 months in principle, and 2 to 3 times within a year is best.

3. Massage the injection site after injecting botulinum toxin.

Botulinum toxin is liquid. If you massage the masseter muscle after injection, the botulinum toxin will diffuse to the adjacent facial muscles, thereby expanding the scope of efficacy and causing unnatural facial expressions. So remember! Do not massage after injection!

4. The botulinum toxin injection site is too shallow.

Botulinum toxin needs to be injected into the masseter muscle to achieve its effect. If it is accidentally injected into the upper layer of the masseter muscle, it may damage the facial nerve and cause abnormal stiffness of facial expression.

1. Improper injection leads to facial paralysis

When many girls choose to get a face-lift injection, the doctors do not have the qualifications for medical cosmetology or the operation is improper, which causes facial nerve damage and eventually leads to facial paralysis. The so-called facial paralysis is that your natural smile becomes stiff, and your smile will be very unnatural. The corners of your eyes and mouth will be very unnatural when you smile. Even if you smile from the heart, it looks like a fake smile to others.

2. Large injection volume leads to facial stiffness

Many girls have too much flesh on their faces and well-developed masseter muscles, so when they go to studios or clinics that are not qualified for micro-surgery to get face-slimming injections, the doctor's misjudgment leads to excessive use of the injections, which eventually causes facial stiffness. This is also one of the side effects of face-slimming injections.

3. Cause facial infection

Face-lift injections seem to be easy to operate, so many small clinics have opened face-lift injection programs, and the price is much lower than that of regular medical plastic surgery hospitals. Many girls think that face-lift injections are easy to operate, so they choose to go to small clinics for face-lift injections. However, due to the incomplete disinfection facilities in small clinics, many girls have facial infections, uneven faces, inflammation and suppuration of wounds after face-lift injections. Therefore, the editor believes that face-lift injections need to be injected in regular hospitals, which is also a manifestation of being responsible for your own face.

4. Asymmetry of the left and right face

Due to lack of experience or misjudgment, many plastic surgeons inject different doses of face-slimming injections on the left and right sides of the face. Different doses of face-slimming injections will produce different effects. This is why many girls have asymmetrical faces.
