Do Lift Shots Really Lift Your Face When You Get Them?

Lifting injections can be used to lift the face in patients with inconspicuous facial skin laxity, and the effect of lifting injections is not obvious in patients with obvious facial skin laxity. Lifting injections are botulinum toxin injections into the lower face and neck to relax the bilateral cervical latissimus muscles in order to lift the lower face and define the jawline. This treatment is not applicable to all patients. It can be used to lift the face in patients with insignificant facial skin laxity and a slightly slimmer face. For patients with significant facial skin laxity and a sac-like change in the location of the jawline, the lifting injection will not provide a lift to the face. It is important to note that patients may experience sequelae such as redness, hyperpigmentation, pain, and edema after the lifting shot. Therefore, patients with the need for lifting injections should go to a regular hospital and choose the appropriate treatment plan under the doctor’s diagnosis.
