How do I get rid of these platysma bands that show up when I smile and sometimes talk or eat? (photo)

"Injecting soft fillers like Belotero in this area can reduce lines, wrinkles and folds as well as improve skin texture with long-term collagen production. Fillers are being used more frequently to contour and lift rather than solely line fill. Of course, fillers are best used in combination with lasers and microneedling​ with PRP to get the optimal outcome.

I suggest getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist to create an individualized treatment plan that works for you. Best, Dr. Emer"

Since you are 19, a surgical procedure would most likely not be indicated. However if you go to an experienced Botox injector, the bands should be able to be lessened significantly.

Thank you for your question. Botox can work very well at reducing the appearance of the dynamic bands. Find an experienced injector in your area that is in a dermatology or plastic surgery practice. Best of luck.

Because of your youth, I would consider Botox if these bands really bothered you.  Try a conservative approach before considering surgery.

You are a beautiful young woman with interesting neck muscles.. If these neck muscle are really hampering your style consider a neurotoxin Botox or Xeomin that can be injected by an Asethetic  ASAPS member board certified plastic surgeon. Surgical options are your last resort. Good luck...
