Botox Neck Lift I read about a Botox neck lift. What is this and does it work? I thought Botox was for frown lines?

A: The Botox neck lift refers to the use of Botox...

The Botox® neck lift refers to the use of Botox® Cosmetic to relax muscular bands (Platysmal bands) located immediately under the skin of the neck--not a true neck lift. You are correct, Botox® Cosmetic is only approved for the forehead frown lines.

The use of Botox® Cosmetic to lift the neck is off-label and has some risk. In general, cosmetic use in the neck has been reserved for people with little fat under the chin and mildly hanging skin and muscle bands. By relaxing the muscle band, the skin appears to droop less. If a botulinum, like Botox®, is injected too deeply, the ability to swallow or move the head normally may be affected.
