What are the effects of face-lift injections when you get older? What are the adverse effects of face-lift injections?

Many people should be familiar with face-slimming injections. It is a very popular plastic surgery project in beauty salons. It is good news for those beauty-loving men and women who are troubled by big faces. It is a popular face-slimming method nowadays.

Generally, face-lift injections will not have any adverse effects on the body when you are old. Although the main ingredient in face-lift injections is a neurotoxin (i.e., type A botulinum toxin), in regular face-lift injection products, the amount of botulinum toxin injected into the human body for treatment is very small and can be completely excreted from the body. Therefore, if a beauty seeker receives the correct course of face-lift injection treatment from a professional doctor in a regular hospital when he is young, it will not have any effects when he is old.

1. Inaccurate injection position leads to loss of chewing function

If the injection position is not accurate during the face-lift injection, it is very likely that the facial muscles will become stiff or unnatural for a long time after aging; there may also be a series of problems such as loss of chewing function. If beauty seekers want to avoid the assistance of face-lift injections, it is best to find a regular and experienced professional doctor for treatment.

2. Poor quality of face-lift injections leads to muscle paralysis throughout the body

If the face-lift injection has any effect after aging, it may be because the quality of the injected face-lift injection is problematic. In recent years, there have been many reports of people who have received counterfeit botulinum toxin of questionable quality, which has led to local or whole-body muscle paralysis, such as difficulty breathing and general weakness. Usually, regular face-lift injections are only available in regular hospitals, and generally illegal plastic surgery studios do not have them. Therefore, when getting a face-lift injection, you must identify regular hospitals and doctors.

3. Too frequent facial injections can cause facial stiffness

Some people experience facial stiffness and partial loss of function after getting a face-lift injection. In this case, you need to consider whether you got the face-lift injection too frequently when you were young. The interval between each face-lift injection should be at least 3 months. If it is shorter than 3 months, it is easy to cause loss of chewing function when you are old, or premature facial loss of support from the masseter muscle, and sagging of cheekbone flesh, making you look old.

The face-lift injection is injected at 1-2 points on each side of the masseter muscle (some doctors will inject at 4-5 points). The doctor will inject as slowly as possible, and there is no need for local massage or other special treatments after the injection. Normal chewing movements can gradually diffuse the drug solution in the muscle tissue, and the effect of the botulinum toxin face-lift injection will be shown in about a week.

Normally, after the face-slimming injection, the combined position of the masseter muscles on both sides can be reduced by 1.5 cm. However, if the masseter muscles are abnormally developed, the effect after the injection will be slightly weaker.
