Age and the diminished amount of time working out my neck muscles through singing has given me a sagging neckline/jowls. I am considering Botox injections for this area and am very concerned about the ability to sing and sing correctly (I already have vertical lip lines to upper lip, smile lift, brow lift regularly). Thank you for your advice.
Answer: Injector is key If you receive treatment from an experienced injector you should not have any issues from your Botox treatment. I encourage you to discuss your concerns with your injector and review her/his credentials and before/after photos.

Answer: Will a Botox neck lift affect my singing voice or swallowing ability? Thank you for your questions. First of all, Botox injections in the neck are used to treat superficial wrinkles and sometimes platysmal banding. These muscles are all very superficial and have no interaction with the muscles and functions involved in voice and singing. One should have no influence on the other. However, I would caution you regarding your expectations of Botox in the neck for a "Botox neck lift," because there really is no such thing. Make sure you see a plastic surgeon who is board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery to discuss all your surgical and non-surgical options before proceeding with something that is not going to give you the results you really want.Hope this helps!Dallas R.

Answer: Botox in the neck will not affect your voice or ability to swallow The use of Botox in the neck is somewhat limited insofar as “lifting” is concerned. Nevertheless it is injected into the very superficial muscle of the neck, the platysma, and should not adversely affect your voice or your ability to swallow.

Answer: Botox for lifting neck? I would caution you for having high expectations for any lift associated with Botox. There will be minimal effect on the jowls and jawline using the Nefertiti lift technique. This causes less downward pull of the jawline by relaxing the platysma. If high dose are used in the mid neck by an inexperienced injector, it is possible to affect voice and swallowing. You must go to an expert for these injections.
