Why does facial sagging occur after face-slimming injections?

First of all, everyone must know what face-slimming needle is? What is its face-slimming principle?

(Face shape suitable for face-slimming needle)

< p> In layman’s terms, face-slimming injections are botulinum toxin, which is the venom secreted by botulinum bacteria.

The principle of face slimming is to use botulinum toxin to prevent neurotransmitters from being transmitted to the masseter muscles. The masseter muscles will not be stimulated for a long time, and the muscles will gradually atrophy, thereby achieving the purpose of face slimming.

Then why does facial sagging occur after face-thinning injections?

There are three reasons:

1. People seeking beauty receive face-thinning injections too frequently.

Some beauty seekers get unsatisfactory results after receiving face-lifting injections at one place. When the face-slimming injection has not been metabolized, change the hospital to get another injection. Such frequent face-lift injections will lead to non-absorption of the injection site. This is the truth that "one bite cannot make you fat." Facial sagging will occur.

2. The doctor did not control the dose well and gave too much.

This has a lot to do with the doctor’s clinical experience. Because the doctor is not experienced enough, he cannot accurately predict the proportion between the amount of filling and the effect. If the amount of injection is large, if the injection site is not absorbed by the patient, facial sagging will occur.

3. The skin is loose.

I predict that beauty seekers will have questions: Face-slimming injections can not only slim the face, but also remove wrinkles. Why does skin loosening occur after injecting face-slimming injections?

Here I will give you some information.

First of all, everyone needs to understand that the injection points for face-slimming needles and wrinkle removal are different. To put it bluntly, the injection locations are different. There are also differences in the depth of needle insertion.

This is also the reason why you should consult a specialist for face-slimming injections instead of injecting yourself.

What should I do if face sagging occurs after face slimming injection?

Those who seek beauty do not need to panic. No matter what the cause of face sagging is, there is no need to panic. No need to worry too much. The effect of face-slimming injections is not permanent. Through the absorption and metabolism process of the skin, the symptoms of facial sagging will disappear.

There is a misunderstanding about face-slimming injections that you definitely don’t know.

There is a saying: 3 injections of face-slimming injections can finalize the shape. This is not right.

Safe plastic surgery starts with me! I wish every beauty seeker can be safe and beautiful!

Many people’s big faces are caused by big cheeks, which are the masseter muscles. developed. Face-slimming injections involve injecting botulinum toxin to temporarily atrophy the masseter muscles to achieve a face-slimming effect. After face-slimming injections, facial sagging will not occur under normal circumstances.

If there is sagging, it may be caused by the following conditions:

The facial skin itself is not tight enough, and the soft tissue is more and soft. There is already a sagging problem, and because The masseter muscle is relatively developed, hypertrophic and bulging, and the facial skin and soft tissue are usually attached to it. After the injection of botulinum toxin temporarily shrinks the masseter muscle, it cannot support the facial skin and fat, and will sag under the influence of gravity.

If the skin itself is relatively loose due to aging and you are afraid that it will become looser after face-lift injections, you can receive some skin tightening and anti-aging treatments. Botulinum toxin itself can be used to lift the mandibular margin. In addition, it can also be used in conjunction with thread carving and thermage skin tightening, etc., to achieve a very good lifting and tightening effect.

Below is the Thermage skin tightening treatment. It can be seen that the skin has become much tighter, the contour of the mandible is clearer, and the whole person looks younger.

Why does facial sagging occur after face slimming injections? How to judge whether it is suitable for face slimming injections?

Having a delicate face is almost every woman’s dream. 360 degrees without blind spots, photogenic, more three-dimensional and exquisite!

Although face-slimming injections are recognized as the most convenient treatment for small faces and have become very popular, here are some common questions that fairies often ask during consultations.

? First of all, everyone must know what a face-slimming needle is? What is the principle of face slimming?

The main ingredient of face slimming injection is botulinum toxin type A for injection! Injectable botulinum toxin type A is referred to as "botulinum toxin". It is the toxin of botulinum toxin and is a type of neurotoxin. Its earliest application in the medical field began in the treatment of facial muscle spasm and other diseases. It can block skin nerves and Nerve conflicts in the skin and muscles cause previously tightened muscles to relax.

The main function of Botulinum toxin for face slimming is to use Botox to temporarily paralyze muscles, causing them to lose their original function and shrink, thereby achieving sculpting of skin lines.

? What face shapes are suitable for face slimming needles?

? Why does it take more than 3 weeks for face-slimming injections to be effective?

Botulinum toxin for face slimming is only effective for masseter muscle hypertrophy. It has no obvious effect on mandibular angle hypertrophy and facial fat accumulation. It is not a "one shot of magic". The drug takes about 3 weeks to take effect. The most significant stage is generally 2-3 months after the injection, and the face-slimming effect gradually fades after 4-6 months. Therefore, botulinum toxin injection treatment should be administered regularly and regularly to maintain long-term effects.

? Does Botox have any side effects on the human body?

Botulinum toxin is a highly toxic substance. Its lethal dose in the human body is 2,500 to 5,000 units. The dose currently used for medical beauty purposes is 50 to 100 units, which is far less than Its lethal dose has been clinically verified for many years, and its safety can be completely guaranteed.

? Will the face-slimming injection rebound after injection?

The effect of face-slimming injections appears slowly. It starts to take effect about two weeks to one month after the injection. The effect usually disappears after six months. This is why some people feel "rebound". At this time, if you want to obtain the original effect, you must receive the injection again.

? If too many face-slimming injections are given, will the skin become loose and the face will sag?

Recently, many voices have appeared on the Internet saying, "If you take too many face-slimming injections, the skin will become loose and the face will sag." Is this really true?

First of all, you must understand that sagging skin and facial sagging are two different things! Although they generally occur at the same time.

Because skin laxity is the result of the loss of collagen in the dermis, and the overall sagging of the face is caused by the loss of collagen in the subcutaneous fascial layer! The problem occurs at completely different levels! ! !

Skin includes epidermis, dermis and subcutaneous tissue, so the fascia layer that causes the entire face to sag is not actually skin! Therefore, the symptoms of skin laxity and facial sagging are also different!

Skin laxity (that is, loss of dermal collagen) is characterized by decreased skin elasticity, thinning of the dermis, and possible shallow wrinkles.

Facial sagging (that is, loss of collagen in the fascial layer) is manifested by sagging eye corners, obvious tear troughs, gradual deepening of nasolabial folds, blurred jaw lines, etc. Even people who are not fat will develop double chins. Feel this change.

Secondly, you need to understand

The face-slimming needle only acts on the masseter muscle to paralyze it for the purpose of atrophy. It will not reduce the collagen in your dermis and fascial layer, because The main cause of collagen loss in the dermis is photoaging and natural aging, while the main cause of collagen loss in the fascia is the result of natural aging! You can still make some difference in photoaging by relying on sun protection. Who can stop natural aging? So there is no connection between face-slimming injections and sagging

? Then why do some people experience facial sagging after face-slimming injections?

1. Injections are too frequent. Some people get face-slimming injections in one place and feel that the effect is not satisfactory. On the basis that the face-slimming injections have not been metabolized, they go to other institutions for injections; this will cause damage to the injection site. Not absorbed. But in fact, only by injecting an appropriate amount can the injection be natural and beautiful. Blindly pursuing too much dosage may have some impact on the face.

2. The injection dose is too much, and the proportional relationship between the injection volume and the effect cannot be accurately estimated

3. The judgment of the injection point and level will affect the facial condition after the injection

4. If the fat layer on the cheeks is too thin, the cheeks themselves are very thin, there is not much fat, and the masseter muscles are very developed, even though the masseter muscles have become thinner after face-slimming injections, the cheeks may look sunken. Those with obvious signs of sagging on their faces

5. Girls with already saggy faces, especially those with obvious nasolabial folds and corners of the mouth, and those with bulging flesh on their mandibular edges. After receiving face-lifting injections, It will aggravate the appearance of these lines and sagging. The originally saggy middle and lower face became even saggier after losing the support of the masseter muscle.

? What should I do if my face sags after a face-slimming injection?

Don’t panic. No matter which of the above reasons causes facial sagging, don’t worry too much, because the effect of face-slimming needles is not permanent. It is through the absorption and metabolism process of the skin, because the facial sagging caused by face-slimming needles The sagging will disappear. It will slowly return to its original appearance.

Therefore, if you want to ensure the effect and safety of face slimming, the best way is to choose a regular medical beauty institution and an experienced professional doctor. At the same time, you should also pay attention to preparation before injection and care after injection. !

First of all, we must understand the treatment principle of face-slimming acupuncture. The treatment of face-slimming acupuncture mainly targets the hypertrophied masseter muscle. It mainly uses botulinum toxin to inhibit the release of acetylcholine, thereby reducing the excessive contraction of the masseter muscle and causing the masseter muscle to become degenerated. Thin to improve facial contours.

During treatment, the doctor will make a comprehensive judgment based on the facial condition.

First of all, the dosage of botulinum toxin must be appropriate; secondly, the injection site should not be too high, usually below the line connecting the corner of the mouth and the front of the ear; thirdly, when diluting the botulinum toxin, fully consider the mass of the botulinum toxin to avoid excessive diffusion.

As for the sagging and sagging of facial fat tissue that everyone is worried about, it generally depends on the size of the masseter muscle and the relaxation of facial fat tissue. If the facial fat tissue is obviously relaxed and the masseter muscle hypertrophy is obvious, then treatment It is recommended to use non-invasive anti-aging treatments on the face such as Thermage combined with face slimming acupuncture treatment, which can effectively improve facial contours and sagging problems.

The medical name of face-slimming injection is botulinum toxin type A. Its principle is to block the transmission of nerve mediators at the nerve endings, paralyze our muscles, make the muscle fibers unable to contract, and the muscles will relax. Shrink and reduce the volume, thereby achieving the effect of face slimming.

It will not make your whole face slimmer, it only has an effect on the "muscles" of your face. Therefore, when injecting face-slimming injections, we must first determine whether our faces are fat or strong muscles. . Why does the skin appear sagging after masseter muscle injection?

In fact, face-slimming injections generally do not cause facial sagging

If you encounter this phenomenon, you need to treat it differently

Face-slimming injections target the masseter muscle, this muscle The supporting effect on facial skin is very limited, especially when the skin is elastic when young and other facial muscles and fat tissues are in their original positions, even if the masseter muscle is large, hard and developed, there will be no impact at all.

When you are no longer young, with the loss of collagen, the skin begins to loosen, and muscle fat no longer stays in its original position but slowly moves downwards due to gravity. The masseter muscle becomes the “last straw that breaks the camel’s back.” Skin sagging occurs after face-lift injections because the masseter muscle on the face is like a balloon. The absence of the masseter muscle means that the gas in the balloon has disappeared. It will naturally become deflated. In the same way, the skin on the face will also become loose.

Therefore, some beauty seekers have enlarged masseter muscles accompanied by insufficient skin tightness. Under the action of pharmaceuticals, the masseter muscles are gradually dissolved. At this time, the surrounding fat and other tissues lose the support of the muscles and will There are some signs of sagging.

Therefore, face-slimming injections are not just a one-shot injection, but also need to do a good job of lifting and tightening the skin at the same time.

I am not a professional, I will speak based on my own understanding. Face slimming injections use botulinum toxin to atrophy the masseter muscles, right? This is how I understand it. You used to have a big masseter muscle under your face, but now it has shrunk, and naturally it can no longer hold up your face. Just like when the pulp inside an orange dries up, the orange will become shriveled. Without support, the face will naturally collapse. I have a relatively large masseter muscle. I had a face-slimming injection. I guess the unscrupulous merchant diluted it for me or the dosage was not enough. Anyway, it had no effect. I guess the nasolabial folds will become darker if applied too much!

Everyone’s masseter muscles are different in size, and the amount of injection is also different. Face slimming injections are also affected by age, physical fitness, living habits, metabolic rate, etc. Face slimming injections will affect the volume of your face. If the volume is reduced, the skin will become loose.

Generally speaking, the better the effect after face-slimming injections, the greater the reduction in facial volume and the greater the possibility of skin sagging. This is true in theory, but our skin is elastic and can recover as long as it is within its tolerance. As for the relaxation caused by age, it should be discussed separately.
