I feel older after getting a face lift injection

For many people who love beauty, it is common to use cosmetic medicine methods to repair their appearance defects. For example, for some people whose faces are fat due to hypertrophy of the masseter muscles, they can get face-slimming injections to make their masseter muscles smaller, giving them a more perfect face shape. However, many people feel that they have become older after getting a face-slimming injection. Why is this?

Reason 1: Insufficient facial skin support leads to deepening of nasolabial folds

There is another probabilistic reason for looking old: after getting a face-slimming injection, the muscles in the masseter area of some girls become smaller and thinner, and the muscles cannot support the facial skin, causing the nasolabial folds to appear deeper. This is a temporary reaction and usually disappears on its own within one to three months. This situation is inevitable. Some people have not had such a reaction after many attempts, some have it after one attempt, and some may encounter it one of the times after many attempts.

Remedy: Apply a hot towel to the injection site, or take a hot spring or sauna to speed up the metabolism of botulinum toxin.

Reason 2: The masseter muscle itself is very large

For girls with very large masseter muscles, the effect after the injection is particularly good, but an effect similar to the natural deflation of a balloon will occur, causing the skin on the face to become loose. Therefore, if you really want to achieve the perfect effect, you must not only have a face-slimming injection, but also lift and tighten the skin. In addition, daily maintenance of skin firmness is also very important. Girls who pay more attention to firmness maintenance are less likely to experience this situation.

Remedial plan: If the sagging is severe, it is recommended to combine thread lift or more advanced medical beauty methods to achieve the best results.

Reason 3: Injection point is not accurate

Generally, professional doctors will choose to inject small amounts at multiple points. If the injection is made into the masseter muscle below the cheekbone, the muscle will deflate, making the cheekbones appear higher and naturally older.

Remedy: Improve through autologous fat injection or hyaluronic acid.

Reason 4: Wrong selection of botulinum toxin or excessive injection

After the consultation, the doctor chose the wrong botulinum toxin or injected too large a dose, causing the surrounding muscles to atrophy. If the amount is too small, there will be no effect, and if the amount is too large, complications may easily occur, so what is tested at this time is the doctor's skills!

Remedy: Improve through autologous fat injection or hyaluronic acid.
