Can I get a face-slimming injection if I have baby fat? Can a face-slimming injection help to slim my bones?

Although face-slimming injections can make the face thinner, they are not effective for everyone. Face-slimming injections are mainly for people with enlarged facial masseter muscles. The effect of face-slimming injections is not so obvious for people with baby fat or square faces with wide bones.

It is not recommended for people with baby fat to get face-slimming injections. Face-slimming injections are not very effective for baby fat, and improper injections can easily cause side effects, so before getting a face-slimming injection, you should consult a doctor to see if you are suitable for it. Baby fat is mainly caused by excess fat on the face, and face-slimming injections mainly block muscle and nerve impulses through botulinum toxin injections, relax over-contracted muscles, and paralyze overdeveloped muscles, but have no effect on eliminating fat. Therefore, face-slimming injections for baby fat will not have a face-slimming effect.

Face-slimming injections cannot reduce bone size, because face-slimming injections are mainly used to relax over-contracted muscles, paralyze overdeveloped masseter muscles, and shrink the two masseter muscles in the cheeks to achieve the purpose of face-slimming. For an enlarged face mainly caused by large bones, face-slimming injections cannot shrink small bones, so they have no practical effect on an enlarged face caused by large bones.

1. Different principles

Face slimming injection: Face slimming injection surgery does not require surgery to slim the face, but only involves injecting botulinum toxin to shrink the masseter muscle. It is suitable for people with hypertrophic masseter muscles to improve facial contours. If the cheeks are too plump, part of the buccal fat pad can also be removed to achieve a better face slimming effect.

Bone reshaping: Surgery to weaken or fill the facial bones.

2. Different recovery times

Face-slimming injection: Generally, the needle holes will heal within a week, and it only takes one month for the full and stable effects to take effect.

Bone plastic surgery: This type of plastic surgery takes a long time to recover, usually up to three months. In addition, most of the wound is located inside the mouth, which requires careful care.

3. Suitable for different groups of people

Face-slimming injection: It is suitable for people with hypertrophic masseter muscles to improve facial contours. If the cheeks are too plump, part of the buccal fat pad can be removed to achieve a better face-slimming effect.

Bone plastic surgery: Suitable for square faces or trapezoidal faces, and can solve the asymmetry of the mandibular angles on both sides.

The number of times the face-slimming injection is given is related to how long the face-slimming effect lasts. The length of time it lasts is related to the source, dosage, and usage of the injection agent, as well as the skills of the injection doctor and the patient's own physical condition. Some friends need multiple injections to achieve a significant face-slimming effect, while some friends can achieve a good face-slimming effect with just one injection. At present, some hospitals use an injection method of three injections a year. It is a course of face-slimming method. This method can well maintain the effect of face-slimming and make it possible for you to have a small face permanently.
