I. Introduction.
Face slimming injections are a type of microplastic surgery that uses botulinum toxin injections to reduce muscle volume and is widely used to improve facial contours. However, after the injection, some people may experience the phenomenon of "frog gills", that is, facial muscles appear to be swollen, stiff or painful, which affects the results of the surgery and the quality of life of the individual. This article will introduce in detail the causes of the "frog gills" phenomenon, its symptoms and countermeasures, and help people who are troubled by it find effective solutions.
Second, the cause of formation.
The reason for the formation of the "frog gills" phenomenon is mainly related to the diffusion of botulinum toxin after the injection of face slimming injections. Botulinum toxin is a neurotoxin that weakens muscle activity by inhibiting the release of neurotransmitters. When botulinum toxin spreads near the injection site, it can affect the normal function of other muscles, causing temporary swelling, stiffness or pain in the facial muscles. In addition, factors such as individual differences, injection techniques, drug quality, and postoperative care may also affect the occurrence of the "frog gills" phenomenon.
3. Symptom manifestation.
The symptoms of the "frog gills" phenomenon mainly include swelling, stiffness or pain of the facial muscles. These symptoms usually appear about a week after the injections and can last for weeks or months. In milder cases, there may be only mild discomfort; In the case of severe symptoms, it may affect the natural flow of facial expressions and even cause symptoms such as difficulty chewing. It is important to note that the phenomenon of "frog gills" is not an infection or allergic reaction, but a normal physiological reaction caused by the spread of botulinum toxin.
Fourth, countermeasures.
The countermeasures against the "frog gills" phenomenon mainly include the following aspects:
1.Waiting for natural recovery: Since the "frog gills" phenomenon is a normal physiological response caused by the spread of botulinum toxin, waiting for natural recovery is the most basic response. Most people's symptoms go away on their own in about a month, and no special ** is needed.
2.Heat Relief: While waiting for a natural recovery, proper heat compresses can relieve symptoms of muscle stiffness and pain. Warm compresses promote blood circulation and aid in the metabolism and elimination of botulinum toxin. However, care should be taken to avoid overheating burns**.
3.Light massage: Proper massage can help relieve symptoms of muscle swelling and stiffness. However, it is necessary to pay attention to the gentle massage pressure to avoid muscle damage caused by excessive massage.
4.Avoid irritating foods: After the injection, you should avoid eating foods that are too irritating, such as spicy, sour, etc., so as not to aggravate the symptoms of muscle swelling and pain.
5.Seek medical attention promptly: If symptoms persist for a long time or seriously affect the quality of life, seek medical attention and seek help from a medical professional. Doctors can take corresponding measures according to the specific situation, such as supplemental injection of botulinum toxin.
V. Conclusions. The phenomenon of "frog gills" after face slimming injections is one of the common postoperative reactions, mainly due to the spread of botulinum toxin. Understanding the causes of the "frog gills" phenomenon, how it manifests itself, and what to do about it can help reduce the discomfort of people who suffer from it. When faced with the phenomenon of "frog gills", you should stay calm and take appropriate coping measures, most people's symptoms will disappear on their own in about a month. If symptoms persist for a long time or seriously affect the quality of life, you should seek medical help from a medical professional. At the same time, choosing a regular medical institution and an experienced doctor for injection surgery is also an important way to prevent and alleviate the phenomenon of "frog gills".
