I have a double chin, not horrible, but at 40 years old with no other wrinkles. I would like to know if Botox is an effective treatment to tighten this.
Answer: Botox Not For Double Chin Double chin is from excessive fat and the only good solution is liposuction. Botox will not help because it only causes muscles to relax. Relaxing the muscle under the chin will only make the double chin look worst.

Answer: Botulinum Toxin (Botox) does not usually work for treatment of double chin Botox will not tighten a double chin but it may relax a "turkey neck" especially if due to muscles that tighten when you speak. A double chin is generally attributable to loose skin and localized fat and made worse by loss of bone density/volume of the mandible. Botulinum toxin does not treat these components.

Answer: Treatment of a double chin A double chin is most likely due to excess skin and fat in the chin and neck regions. It is for these reasons that Botox will most likely not help as it treats lines caused by overactive muscles. Instead, you may want to consider liposuction and/or a neck lift depending on your aesthetic goals. If you have tight muscles in the neck causing "bands" to form, than Botox is good for treating this as it will paralyze the platysma muscle that can cause these bands. Good luck!
