Patient's question:
To stay pretty and young, I occasionally get Botox injections at a beauty clinic. The staff there said the results are great, but recently I've noticed that my face has started to have problems again. I've developed facial paralysis from the Botox. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Seek medical follow-up in a formal hospital's neurology department for relevant detailed examinations and treatments. A small portion of beauty enthusiasts may feel facial muscle stiffness and unnaturalness after receiving botulinum toxin injections, and wrinkles may gradually disappear after about a week. It is hoped that you have decided on a formal beauty salon, as the anesthesia for botulinum toxin requires highly skilled doctors. If the anesthesia is administered too quickly, it cannot ensure the even distribution of botulinum toxin. Excessive dosage of anesthesia per session can affect facial muscles, causing symptoms such as muscle stiffness. Additionally, the botulinum toxin must be anesthetized in a safe area of the face.
