Is it true that Botox injections make your face stiff and unnatural?

Posted by

Nowadays, people are starting to pay more attention to vaccinations.โบท็อกIncreasingly, Botox is used to reshape the face or reduce wrinkles. It must be acknowledged that Thai people tend to have relatively large jaw muscles, making some faces appear wider with clearly defined angles. The current beauty trend favors a slender, V-shaped face, as this creates the illusion of a smaller face in photos and from various angles. Botox injections are therefore a popular choice for reducing jaw size and creating a more defined facial contour without surgery. However, while there are advantages, some concerns remain. Some people experience problems such as a stiff, unnatural-looking face, difficulty smiling as usual, or a feeling of excessive tightness. Romrawin Clinic has the answers, and we hope to help you feel more confident in choosing Botox injections.

Botox injections are safe.or not

Botox injections are a procedure that should only be performed by a qualified professional and cannot be done independently. The injection process requires skilled technique and meticulous hygiene. Generally, only genuine, certified Botox should be used, as the substance breaks down naturally within 4-6 months and does not cause any harm to the body. Approximately 10-15 minutes after injection, the medication begins to take effect, causing muscle weakness. As the muscles remain immobile for extended periods, the injected area will shrink, and wrinkles will fade. However, Botox injections can sometimes lead to complications. A common problem is an inability to fully smile, which occurs when the Botox affects two facial muscles that connect from the cheekbone to the corner of the mouth: the Risorius and Zygomatic muscles. This may be due to insufficient experience by the practitioner.

Why does Botox make my face stiff and prevent me from expressing emotions?

The key factors in Botox injections are the doctor's excellent technique and the use of genuine Botox. If both are perfect, there's nothing to worry about. Therefore, you should choose a reputable clinic with a long history and experienced doctors, like Romrawin Clinic. However, there are potential problems with Botox injections that you should be aware of.

    • Botox injections can occur in the wrong location, often due to inexperienced doctors who may inject into the risorius and zygomatic muscles. Alternatively, some patients may have a lower-than-normal risorius muscle position, although this doesn't happen to everyone and only occurs in about 1-2% of cases.
      Therefore, the expertise and technique of the doctor who provides consultation and administers Botox injections are crucial, and it's essential to carefully consider this before using their services.
    • Counterfeit Botox is unapproved, substandard, and contains illegal ingredients. These substances cannot distribute evenly, making it difficult to predict their diffusion rate. When getting injections, you can request to see genuine Botox from an authentic, FDA-approved box for your peace of mind.
    • The client has large jaw muscles, requiring a higher number of units. Romrawin Clinic will provide consultation and plan the injection, possibly dividing it into two sessions, spaced approximately 2-3 months apart. However, if a stiff smile occurs after Botox injection, this usually resolves on its own within 1-2 days, provided it's genuine Botox. Applying cold or hot compresses to the cheek area can help speed up the healing process.
How long does it take to see results from Botox injections?

Botox injections for facial contouring can reduce jaw size by approximately 10%, with results visible within 2 weeks and full jaw reduction seen within 2 months after injection.

What should I do to see quick results from Botox injections?

For those who prefer a quick result, need to attend an event, or want a more defined facial profile, you can consult with the medical team at Romrawin Clinic about adding Botox for a facelift to enhance your beauty even further.

When getting Botox injections, should I choose American or Korean brand?

American Botox has a lower risk of developing resistance than Korean Botox due to its higher purity and greater precision in distribution over a narrower area. It also lasts approximately 10-20% longer than Korean Botox. Therefore, clinics recommend American Botox, as it's the purest formulation. However, Korean Botox is twice as affordable. Both types are effective in reducing jaw muscle size and are safe if FDA-approved. Consult with your doctor and choose the Botox that's right for you.
