The harm of getting a face-lift injection during menstruation

Although face-slimming injections are a relatively good way to slim the face and are suitable for most people, they are not suitable for some people with special physical conditions, such as women during menstruation. This is because women’s body resistance is relatively weak during their menstrual period, and face-slimming injections require local anesthesia and a good physical condition, so there are many dangers of getting face-slimming injections during menstruation.

1. What is a face-slimming injection?

Face-slimming injections are a method of face-slimming for people with enlarged masseter muscles. Its main ingredient is botulinum toxin type A. The principle of face-slimming is to relax and paralyze the muscles to reduce the tension of the masseter muscles. Under the action of botulinum toxin, the masseter muscles gradually become smaller and atrophy, thereby achieving the effect of face-slimming.

2. Can I get a face-slimming injection during my period?

Women should not get face-slimming injections during their menstrual period because the body will produce an anti-coagulation mechanism during menstruation, and it is easy for the wound to continue bleeding or the swelling to not subside when getting a face-slimming injection.

In addition, women's immunity is very weak during menstruation, and face-slimming injections at this time are prone to infection and inflammation.

In addition, the injection will inevitably affect the amount of bleeding during menstruation and may even cause menstrual disorders in the future. It is recommended that women get a face-slimming injection after their menstrual period.

3. Contraindications and precautions for face-lift injections

Contraindications:

1. Do not get vaccinated during menstruation or pregnancy.

2. Abuse of other drugs during the injection period may lead to poisoning, so do not take penicillin or other drugs during the injection period.

Precautions

1. Make sure to wash your face clean before getting a face-slimming injection.

2. Before the face-slimming injection, you should stop taking any drugs containing antibiotics to avoid postoperative swelling.

4. Side effects of face-lift injections

1. The most common side effects are that the face becomes stiff and the smile becomes unnatural.

2. If too many facial slimming injections are given, it may cause symptoms of difficulty swallowing.

3. Asymmetry between the two sides of the face or muscle weakness at the injection site.

4. Some people may experience local swelling and fever after the face-slimming injection.

5. The main side effects include excessive weakness of the masseter muscle and corresponding symptoms caused by the spread of the face-slimming injection to the adjacent muscle tissue.

6. Some patients who underwent face-slimming treatment experienced fever, discomfort, fatigue, etc. after receiving botulinum toxin injections.
