Will Botox Leave Me With a Frozen Face?

For most people considering Botox, the first questioned asked of their practitioner is almost always, "Will Botox leave me with a frozen face?" That's a good and pertinent question, and the best (okay, the funniest) answer to it is this: "No. That only happens to rock stars and Hollywood celebrities." Truly, you can't believe everything you read in the tabloids.

Those famous celebrities that you see in the tabloids who are suffering from frozen face syndrome may not be telling the whole truth - they may have omitted the fact that other cosmetic procedures were earlier performed (really, who wants to admit to having a couple of inches of fleshy skin hoisted up behind their ears), or that their Botox treatment was done at a so-called "Botox party" by a "doctor" dressed in designer togs who may or may not have been sipping a few (quite a few) flutes of champagne during the festivities ("this might sting just a bit... slurp!") as opposed to having their Botox treatment done in a clinical setting.

The truthful answer to that question - "Will Botox leave me with a frozen face?" - is this: Botox, in and of itself will not give a person a frozen face, provided, however, that it is properly administered by a qualified medical cosmetic doctor who is skilled in the knowledge not only of anatomy but the physiology of facial muscles. That is a mouthful of words for this simple answer: "No; not if the person knows what he or she is doing."

It is true that Botox is a paralysing agent, but a skilled practitioner will know exactly how much Botox to inject, and exactly where to inject it. It is only when the person doing the injection hasn't familiarised him or herself with the proper technique that trouble might occur. In the hands of a trained medical cosmetic doctor, the only thing that should happen to a Botox user is that they will look more natural, with smoother, less wrinkled skin.

"Will Botox leave me with a frozen face?" Not if it's done right it won't. And you can ensure that it is done right by asking your prospective cosmetic doctor some questions about their experience and training. Also, ask to see before and after photographs of some of their other patients who have undergone the Botox treatment. The answers to your questions should leave you feeling satisfied and confident that you have made the right choice. And the photographs should confirm it.
