Brilio.net - Sagging skin is a natural process that generally appears in elderly people. Usually this condition will begin to appear when a person reaches the age of 40 years and above. This sign of aging occurs because the fat in the face decreases and becomes thinner as you get older.
As a result, the fat tissue spread across several areas of the face, such as the cheeks, temples, forehead, lips, and including the neck begins to loosen. Sagging skin can also be caused by the body's production of elastin and collagen starting to decline, causing the skin to lose its ability to maintain its firmness and suppleness.
To overcome this condition, most people decide to undergo Botox treatment so that their face becomes firm again. Botox treatment is done to remove wrinkles and prevent facial sagging. This treatment is carried out by injecting a substance that will reduce nerve activity in the muscles and make them more relaxed. This is what will make the skin surface smoother and firmer.
Even though it provides instant results, in fact Botox treatment also has side effects, you know. One of them was experienced by a TikTok user with the account name @evelineaprilisa. Instead of being beautiful and having a tight face after Botox, the owner of the TikTok account has become stiff and unable to smile.
" I want to be beautiful, but I've been bored for more than 4 months, for those who have felt like I never laugh, it's not that I'm arrogant, but this is why ," wrote the account owner in the description of the uploaded video, reported by briliobeauty.net from the TikTok account @evelineaprilisa, Tuesday (2/7).

In her statement, the owner of the account named Eveline decided to undergo Botox treatment, because she was inspired by her friend who had previously undergone the same treatment at a beauty clinic. Even though Eveline herself had never had Botox before.
Because this was her first time trying Botox treatment , Eveline only did it on the smile line area. The result was that there were no side effects. But everything changed when he had full face Botox or his entire face.

"When I tried it for the first time, I was only on the smile lines, and the results were just normal. Because no one noticed that I was better or something. Then, because there was an event going on, I got ready for a full face of Botox," Eveline said.
After having full face Botox, instead of being beautiful, Eveline's face couldn't smile and felt stiff. He said he also couldn't laugh and his smile was like an overturned bowl.
"It feels like I can't raise the edge of my lips. I feel really self-conscious, afraid to meet friends. It must feel strange to be someone who is expressionless," said Eveline.

This condition makes Eveline not confident when she has to meet other people. The reason is, his face really looks like he can't express himself and is stiff, so he is often considered arrogant. Especially if he has had this facial condition for 4 months.
The uploaded video suddenly went viral, being watched 4.2 million times and receiving various comments from netizens.
" I've had this experience, but it's strange that I can't move my face, when the botox wears off, it looks like my face is drooping, I regret having botox ," wrote the account owner @pingkanarl.
" Botox weakens (paralyzes) the muscles, so even though the results don't cause wrinkles, the side effect is that the muscles in the face are paralyzed so you can't smile ," said the account @rebahan245.
" Once, I couldn't hold my breath when I was eating Botox but after a few weeks it really worked, " said the account @shayang56.
