Is Injecting Botox in the Neck Risky?

Hi Nan,
Injecting Botox in the neck is safe as long as your injecting physician is experienced and well trained. Careless injections of Botox into the neck may result in severe complications.
The injections are effective at treating midline platysmal bands, as well as creating a more defined jaw-neck line with the "Nefertiti" lift.
The injections need to be placed into the muscles in the correct dosage. Make sure that your injecting physician has an excellent knowledge of the neck anatomy and has experience with injecting Botox in this area.
Be well.

Botox won’t help the fat of the neck; but, can minimize muscle bands that hang down. Liposuction can be done to remove the fat of the neck. See a dermatologic surgeon or plastic surgeon for a consultation.

You can safely have BOTOX injected in bothersome neck bands. You can see them by tensing your neck muscles while looking in the mirror. While tensed, if these bands feel like a firm piece of rope, then they'll likely respond well. This is a good, non-invasive treatment if you're in your late 30s or early 40s.
I hope this helps, and best regards.
