Botox Gone Wrong: Common Causes and How to Avoid Them

Botox is a cosmetic treatment made from a purified botulinum toxin that relaxes facial muscles. It helps you to reduce wrinkles, fine lines, and expression lines by temporarily limiting muscle movement. It is widely used for anti-aging purposes, providing you a smoother, young looking skin with minimally invasive injections.

If you are opting for botox, make sure that the practitioner is experienced and has knowledge about facial muscles. If it is injected by someone without proper training, it can cause drooping eyelids or uneven expressions.

Using a lot of botox can freeze your facial expressions, while using a little may not show you effective results.

If botox is injected in the wrong area it can lead to facial asymmetry or give you an unnatural look.

Rubbing or touching injected areas harshly can cause botox to spread incorrectly.

Always consult a cosmetic surgeon who understands facial anatomy and has experience of performing a botox procedure.

Always start with small doses that allow you natural movements and can be adjusted later easily if needed.

Discuss your expectations clearly with your dermatologist or cosmetic surgeon and understand outcomes which you will get after treatment.

Avoid rubbing or touching injected areas and follow the guidelines strictly which are given by your cosmetic surgeon.

Follow up appointments help you to get clear assessment results and make small corrections if needed.

These are some causes of botox gone wrong and ways in which you can prevent it and get a natural looking botox. A thoughtful approach can make it look balanced and natural.
