I am 52, I’ve been using Botox on my neck for the last 8 years to stop the platysmal bands from showing. The last time I went, I didn’t feel like they gave me any real difference. It’s been 1 month since the tox. My questions are: Is there something I can tell the injector to get a better result? Would I be a candidate for a mini neck lift? Can I just get a corset platysmal band procedure? Is there any doctor in Florida that performs the corset Platysmal band precedure?
