What is the process of masseter muscle changes after face-lift injection?

Face-slimming injections are a relatively mature method in modern cosmetic plastic surgery. They can quickly achieve the effect of slimming the face. It is a better plastic surgery method for people with overly wide faces. Moreover, face-slimming injections generally do not produce side effects after use, so they are very safe. Face-slimming injections mainly act on the masseter muscle. Let’s take a look at the changes in the masseter muscle after face-slimming injections. Interested beauty lovers can learn about it.

Masseter location:

The masseter muscle is a muscle located on the outer side of the zygomatic bone, between the zygomatic arch and the mandibular angle, and is distributed obliquely outward from top to bottom.

Simple method to determine masseter muscle hypertrophy:

When you close your mouth and clench your teeth, touch the masseter muscles on both sides at the angle of the mandible to feel the contraction range and thickness of the masseter muscles. If your masseter muscles are enlarged, you may feel them thicken or form a firm muscle mass when you contract them.

1. The masseter muscle becomes soft within 1 week after injection;

2. After 2 to 4 weeks of injection, you will feel that the facial muscles have become thinner and the face-slimming effect has begun to appear;

3. The face-lifting effect is most obvious after 10 to 12 weeks of injection;

4. Muscle activity begins to appear 12 weeks after injection;

5. Muscle volume gradually increased 16 weeks after injection.

The interval between the second injection should be 3 to 7 months

1. Myasthenia gravis patients;

2. Patients with abnormal adrenal secretion;

3. People with internal organ diseases such as heart, liver, and kidney.

The current market for face-slimming injections is in chaos. Face-slimming injections are toxic drugs. According to regulations of the food and drug regulatory authorities, pharmaceutical wholesale companies can only sell botulinum toxin type A preparations to medical institutions or medical beauty institutions that have obtained a "Medical Institution Practice License."

The above is an explanation of the changes in the masseter muscle after face-slimming injections. I hope everyone can understand it and treat this advanced plastic surgery technique correctly.
