What is the harm of Botox?
In recent years, micro-plastic surgery has been deeply rooted in people's hearts. In the past, there were countless examples of plastic surgery failures, which led to the plastic surgery wind going out for a while, but now there is a new wave, that is, micro-plastic surgery, in which there is an injection plastic surgery called "sarcoma", and the effect is obvious. So is anti-sarcoma really good?

1, what's the harm of botulinum toxin?

Filial piety daughter takes her mother to do beauty. Originally, she wanted to make Aunt Xu look younger by injecting Botox. Unexpectedly, after a few stitches, 54-year-old Aunt Xu's mouth tilted to one side, her left eye could not be closed normally, and she could only "close her eyes" when sleeping.

Aunt Xu, who lives in Hankou, looks much older than her peers because of overwork in the past two years, and her eyes are obviously wrinkled. Xiao Hui, a filial daughter, is distressed and takes her to a beauty salon whenever she has time. Last week, under the recommendation of a beautician, Aunt Xu injected Botox to quickly eliminate wrinkles. That night, Aunt Xu felt that the muscles on one side of her face were too tight to laugh. At that time, she thought it was a normal reaction after the injection and didn't care too much. When she woke up the next day, she looked at herself in the mirror and got a fright. Not only is the face big and small, but the mouth is tilted to the right. Even simple actions such as raising eyebrows, closing eyes and bulging mouth can't be completed. What's more, because the left eye can't be closed normally, I can only sleep with my eyes open. Suddenly, her face became like this. Aunt Xu didn't dare to go out. She wears a mask every day. Persuaded by her daughter, she soon came to the Department of Neurology in central hospital of wuhan. After examination, she was diagnosed as facial paralysis, which is facial paralysis.

Jing Ping, director of neurology, said that the contraction of human muscles is dominated by nerves. Botulinum toxin injected into muscle tissue will block the signal transmission between nerve and muscle, and the muscle will be in a rest state without movement instructions, which will temporarily paralyze facial muscles and stop contraction, thus achieving the cosmetic effect.

Because the facial blood vessels and nerves are rich, especially around the orbit, if you are not familiar with facial anatomy, the injection site is not allowed, and the dose is not allowed, accidents may occur. For example, the mouth and eyes are skewed and facial paralysis occurs; Diplopia is easy to occur after injection around the eyes, and facial injection may also lead to dysphagia and dysarthria. Severe cases can lead to systemic poisoning, respiratory muscle paralysis, dyspnea and life-threatening. In addition, if the disinfection measures are not in place, there will be complications such as local infection.

Experts remind that injection beauty must choose qualified hospitals and qualified doctors. Botulinum toxin injection is not suitable for everyone, such as people with allergies, people with basic diseases such as heart, liver and kidney, and patients with myasthenia gravis. If you feel unwell after the injection, you need to see a doctor immediately.

2. Precautions for injection of botulinum toxin

(1) Rest quietly within 4 hours after injection of botulinum toxin. Keep your body upright and don't do strenuous activities for 24 hours.

(2) Don't massage the part where botulinum toxin is injected, so as to avoid the spread of botulinum toxin A to muscles in other parts.

(3) Botulinum toxin injection is suitable for early wrinkles. The injection of severe wrinkles in the elderly is effective, but the effect is poor. Botulinum toxin is not recommended for wrinkle removal in the elderly.

(4) Do not use cosmetics on the day of botulinum toxin injection, and cooperate with the doctor to show the wrinkles as clearly as possible.

(5) Do not take aspirin and aminoglycoside antibiotics within 2 weeks before injection of botulinum toxin, because they will enhance the toxicity of botulinum toxin.

Botulinum toxin wrinkle removal, the greater the toxicity, the better the effect. However, it is safer to go to a professional and regular high-qualified medical institution to inject Botox for beauty.
