Top 5 Botox Complications

Botox ensures that muscles are temporarily unable to contract. In addition to the many benefits of a well-performed Botox treatment, there are also a number of complications that can occur if you are not treated properly. Botox is safe, provided that it is carried out by a expert doctor with the right technique. The safety of Botox depends on how the doctor works. Doctor Frodo Clinic makes no compromise around quality and safety. A good doctor will always check whether a treatment is safe, correct and wonder if someone has really been helped with a treatment. The big so-called budget clinics that don't ask, they're running. Unfortunately, many clients are unaware of the fact that some doctors who Botox treatments do, are not educated and are not even affiliated with the professional association NVCG. Every doctor has taken an oath, but the balance between doing good and making a profit does not always seem to be balanced. There are many tensions between the interests of a clinic and the doctor who really wants to help the patient.

Top 5 side effects of Botox in specific treatments

1. Drooping eyelids

• If the Botox is placed too high, the forehead muscle can be unintentionally relaxed so that it can no longer raise the eyebrows and cause the eyelids to droop.
• If Botox is placed too low, the muscle that lifts the eyelids can be relaxed, causing a drooping eyelid.
• If too much Botox is used, a combination of the above occurs and that is not good.

2. Drying

If a muscle around the mouth is treated with Botox to reduce lip lines, for example, you will be unable to close your mouth properly. This can cause you to drool, but it can also make drinking out of a straw a hilarious show. Read all about: Botox for lips

3. Raised eyebrows

Do you remember Dr. Spock with his raised eyebrows? As a complication of a Botox treatment, it is possible that a good balance is not found in the treatment of the forehead. Here, the side of the forehead muscle raises the eyebrow much further than desirable. This may be funny for a costume party, but you'd better prevent it by seeing a reputable doctor.

4. No longer able to laugh

To treat teeth grinding, Botox is placed deep into the masticatory muscle. If the Botox is placed too superficially, or too much Botox is used, the risorius muscle that runs nearby can also be affected. This muscle normally causes the mouth to be pulled out. If it is calmed down by an incorrectly performed treatment, you are temporarily unable to laugh properly or laugh with a crooked mouth. Read all about: Botox against teeth grinding

5. Hanging lip

To treat a gummy smile/horse laugh, we ensure that the muscle that exposes the gums too much is calmed while laughing. If you prick in the wrong place or with the wrong amount, the lip may just droop.

Other possible Botox side effects

Although Botox is completely safe and has no long-term side effects, there are short-term complications that can occur after treatment:

1. Minor bruises

After injecting the Botox, bruises may occur in the treatment area. You can easily disguise them with makeup and often disappear within 3 to 5 days.

2. Increased activity of other muscles

Botox disables the function of certain facial muscles, causing other muscles to take over. This increased activity can make the skin around it more sensitive to wrinkle formation.

3. Headaches

Headaches are common after a Botox treatment but are short lived. Indeed, after treatment, muscle spasms can occur that cause pain.

4. Hypoaesthesia and paraesthesia

Hypoaesthesia (decreased sensitivity) and paraesthesia (tingling) are a rare Botox side effect. The symptoms come from a nerve trauma. How long the feeling lasts depends on the nerve branch.

Solution?

Botox has the nice property of working out again. Any complications are therefore temporary and, in the worst case, will work out after 3 to 4 months. But: prevention is better than cure (or, in the cases described, “wait and see”). With an expert cosmetic doctor, side effects or complications with Botox are almost non-existent.

Opt for honest advice and a safe Botox treatment

In general, a Botox treatment is completely safe, provided you choose a reputable clinic. In addition, it is good to be aware of the possible side effects in advance so that you are not faced with unexpected surprises. Want more information? then take contact with us.
