After receiving too many slimming facial injections, possible side effects may include stiff facial expressions, asymmetrical jaw muscles, or sunken cheeks. This phenomenon may occur due to excessive atrophy of facial muscles caused by overuse of the injections, excessive dosage, or improper injection techniques. When undergoing slimming facial injections, it is recommended to choose treatment based on individual facial conditions and avoid frequent injections.
