Botox Injections in Everett WA | Washington Plastic Surgery

Botox injections are now a popular cosmetic plastic surgery procedure to reduce the fine lines and wrinkles in the face. Botox is a neurotoxin protein produced naturally by the bacterium Clostridia botulinum and other species. It blocks the release of the nerve receptor acetylcholine in the neuromuscular junction thereby causing botulism. The ailment botulism is caused by the bacteria interacting with the fluid that surrounds the nerve, stimulating the nerve. This fluid, called synovial fluid contains the delicate materials that allow nerves to move and communicate.

It is generally injected under the eye in the area of the iris to reduce wrinkles and lines. Botox treatment is offered at various centers across the United States. Before you choose your medical professional, it is advised that you contact at least two to three other doctors who specialize in the treatment of medically related issues. This is to ensure that your medical professional has knowledge and experience in treating your specific condition. You also need to be aware of what you can expect after receiving Botox injections. The following are some of the complications you may encounter during and after the treatment. If you have an allergic reaction to the Botox injections, your healthcare provider may administer a series of allergy tests before injecting the medicine. Also, if you have muscle weakness, loss of muscle tone, or twitching in the face, this may be caused by a lack of enough blood flow to the muscles under the eyes, which can be caused by your eyes being open while the Botox treatment is in process. You should avoid moving your face during the course of treatment as this can result in the Botox damaging nerves and scarring. Some patients experience pain when receiving Botox treatments. This normally occurs only when muscle tone is weak or if the muscles are spasms. The pain can be minimal for short periods of time or can continue for days and weeks after the treatment is administered. You should avoid moving your face for a few days after receiving Botox injections usually as this can cause damage to nerves and scarring. Cervical dystonia is one of the rarest complication from Botox injections. Women with this type of problem experience involuntary tightening of the throat muscles, resulting in a grinding or swallowing difficulty. Botox can also cause constricted airways, causing choking, nausea, and chest pain. Botox can also cause facial wrinkles in some patients, which usually appear between the eyes.

Another rare but potentially serious condition caused by Botox injections is hyperhidrosis. This condition affects the sweat glands and the skin of the face and neck. Some patients develop facial blushing, excessive sweating, uncontrollable shaking, and nausea. This condition normally appears between the ages of 20 and 60. Eye twitching and other problems can also occur after Botox injections. This can occur in both eyes or in just one eye. However, eye twitching rarely occurs before Botox injections, especially if the patient has taken an anti-twitching medication prior to Botox. This condition is called "refractive rhytidotomy." However, some doctors believe that eye twitching and other problems caused by Botox can be treated in their entirety by using lifestyle changes, diet, and natural medications. It is important to remember that any cosmetic procedure, including injections, must be carefully considered before being considered. If you decide to have this or any other procedure, you should be well-informed about the risks and benefits. A competent doctor will be able to answer all of your questions. You should feel comfortable talking to your doctor about the potential benefits and risks of having a cosmetic procedure.
