She told me the central bands serve an important function to hold my head up so would only do 25 units on each side of my neck but unfortunately it has not improved the lines I hate the most in the middle. It has also meant I am struggling to lift my neck for abdominal exercises in my Pilates class. I would love a second opinion on what I could do differently in the future.
Answer: Platysmal band Hello and thank you for your question. Nothing truly compares to a face to face consultation for advice however from what you have said I would avoid any further botox in the neck- it's a sign that you have already got to the maximum as the botox is affecting the functional ability to raise your neck.

Answer: Botox / "microtox" for the neck Botox can relax muscles for cosmetic purposes, and has been used to minimize the appearance of platysmal bands in many patients as an off label indication. The placement and quantity of Botox used in an area is indiviualized for each patient based on desired outcome and safety. Platsymal bands do / can provide functionality, and the pratitioner will need to make that determination relative to safety during the exam. We will sometimes utilize "microtox" for the neck and combine with other treatments such as threads to give a firmer appearance of the skin. I would reach out to your practitioner for questions or concerns relative to their office protocols and your specific concerns. Thank you for your question.

Answer: The platysma does NOT hold your head up hi there! the bands are caused by the action of the platysma muscle. this muscle is a thin sheet of muscle that basically separates your neck into a superficial and deep space. the important stuff is basically all underneath the platysma. the platysma does NOT hold your head up or really serve much of a musculoskeletal function.
