The muscles around the eyes recover in a certain order. Head lines appear the earliest, followed by an increase in the power to close the eyes, the wrinkles in the corners of the eyes, followed by the wrinkles in the lower eyelids. Throughout the treatment process, the patient will feel that his eyes are opening and closing more and more powerfully. At the same time, it feels like mouth chewing is gradually becoming stronger. The symptoms of water leakage and bagging are gradually relieved.
