Botox paralyzed her face

Chhavi talked about her first experience with botox on her face in one of the podcast segments. I went to a cosmetologist who suggested Botox Masseter. Chhavi said she believed her pain threshold was high, but she mispositioned herself during the procedure, causing the needle to go elsewhere. Because of this mistake, one side of the face lost sensitivity for more than a year. “As an actor, it was a very, very difficult phase for me,” Chhavi added.

However, Chhavi continued to visit the clinic to try to reverse the effects of the botox botox treatment on her face. To minimize the consequences, the beautician suggested radio frequencies, but nothing worked.

Do your research before you go for botox

Chhavi added that it took her more than six to seven months for the Botox treatment to reverse the effects. She also thoroughly researched Botox after a treatment went wrong. Chhavi suggested in the podcast that it’s important to do your research before you go for it; and not the other way around. However, Dr. Agni Kumar Bose added that Botox is one of the most forgiving molecules. Read also | Botox can help deal with embarrassingly sweaty palms.

In an earlier article in HT, Dr. Debray Chomme mentioned, “Botox is given by injection, so your injector needs to be trained and expert so that the chance of side effects from Botox is almost nil. With the help of a trained person, if small changes are required, this is easy to accomplish. But if your injector lacks the necessary qualifications and experience, the culprit is clearly not botox. It is absolutely necessary to undergo treatment under the guidance of a specialist. it is important to remember that botulinum toxin is one of the most poisonous substances known to man, and if not administered and used carefully, it can cause serious harm. If the injections are given incorrectly, they can cause bruising, bleeding and swelling.’
