When does the face-lift injection start to slim down?

Nowadays, with the continuous improvement of medical standards, various micro-plastic surgery techniques that can make up for facial defects have gradually become popular. Face-slimming injections are a type of plastic surgery that can solve the problem of overdeveloped masseter muscles and an enlarged face. Compared with traditional face-slimming methods, face-slimming injections take effect very quickly. Generally, the face will become smaller after a week, and the best effect will be achieved in one or two months!

1. How long does it take for face-slimming injections to take effect?

The effect of face slimming is not immediate, and its efficacy needs time to transition. Generally, after a face-slimming injection, you can feel your face gradually getting smaller in 1 to 2 weeks, and the best results can be achieved in 2 to 3 months. The general effect can last for half a year to a year. Of course, this time is not fixed, it varies according to the condition of each person's masseter muscle. Some people's masseter muscles are relatively thick, and the effect will only begin to appear after 3 to 4 weeks. Otherwise, it may only last about 3 months. In this case, you can get regular booster shots. Generally, after three shots, you will see more obvious results, and the duration of the effect will be greatly extended, up to 3 to 5 years.

2. How long does it take to recover from face-lift injections?

Face-slimming injections are a kind of neurotoxin that can temporarily paralyze muscles, causing them to atrophy and shrink due to loss of function. In this way, face-slimming injections can achieve the purpose of slimming muscles and modifying facial contours. Face-slimming injections are very effective for round faces caused by simple masseter muscle hypertrophy.

The effect of face-slimming injections will become ineffective after half a year and will need to be re-injected. Botulinum toxin is a highly toxic substance, but the amount used for face slimming and wrinkle removal only accounts for 1%-2% of the lethal dose. During the face-slimming injection period, gentamicin, penicillin, etc. must be discontinued. It can be seen that the effect of face-slimming injections is also related to different materials.

The effects of face slimming injections can last for about 8-12 months. If you still need to slim your face at this time, you can get another injection of face-slimming injection. Three consecutive treatments can basically last a lifetime.

3. What should I pay attention to after getting a face-lift injection?

After the face-slimming injection, you may experience local soreness, pain, bleeding, headache, or nausea. If the injection technique is not correct, ptosis, double vision or uneven effect may occur. These side effects are mild and transient. If the eyelids droop or the eyelids turn double, they will return to normal after two weeks. In rare cases, botulinum toxin may cause side effects such as allergies or rashes.

You cannot take other medicines, such as gentamicin, penicillin, etc., after getting a face-slimming injection, because these medicines may cause toxicity and lead to human poisoning. In addition, you may experience chewing weakness and soreness in the early stages after a face-slimming injection, which is a common phenomenon. Because of chewing habits, there will still be slight asymmetry on both sides after the face-slimming injection. A small number of people may be insensitive to the drug and thus the effect is not obvious, so you should go to the plastic surgery hospital for a follow-up visit two weeks after the face-slimming injection. The above-mentioned precautions after the face-slimming injection are very important and cannot be ignored.
