What are the precautions after getting a face-lift injection?

The face-slimming injection, also known as botulinum toxin, mainly helps people solve the problem of masseter muscle hypertrophy and is a common micro-plastic surgery technique. Although face-slimming injections are effective, there are many things to pay attention to before and after the injections, such as some dietary and lifestyle taboos.

1. No massage, pay attention to diet

Do not massage the area after the face-lift injection, as the vaccine toxins will spread. Do not massage, apply heat or rub the face within one month after the injection. Avoid eating hard-shelled foods after the injection; do not eat spicy food, seafood, tobacco or alcohol within one week. In the early stage, there may be weakness and pain in chewing. Due to chewing habits, there will still be slight asymmetry on both sides after the face-lift injection. A few people may be insensitive to the drug and the effect is not obvious, so a follow-up visit should be made after 2 weeks.

2. Don’t wash your face and put on makeup

You should expect slight redness and swelling of the skin at the injection site, which usually disappears after a few hours. A few people may experience slight bruising at the injection site, but it disappears quickly. It is best not to lie down within 4 to 6 hours to prevent the Botox from spreading. You should not wash your face within 6 hours, do not wear makeup after getting a face-slimming injection, do not be curious or touch the injection site, and do not exercise after getting a face-slimming injection. A professional doctor will ask you to come back for a check-up in a week.

3. Others

The face-slimming injection will not take effect immediately, so you should rest well after the injection and don't rush to go to work. After the face-slimming injection, there will be needle holes. At this time, there may be a natural pain process. If it is serious, see a doctor. If your face becomes swollen after a face-slimming injection, remember that you can apply cold compresses to the areas without needle holes. After the treatment, remember, you cannot put on makeup. You must allow for a natural recovery process, which generally lasts for more than 40 hours. After getting the face-slimming injection, remember that at this time, it is best not to massage your face, otherwise it will cause the ingredients in the face-slimming injection to dissipate.
