Hi, I’m 47 years old and very unhappy with my neck. I want to put off a lower face lift till I am 50. Would Botox or fillers help the look of my neck temporarily or is their any other procedure that would help that does not involve surgery? I’m not looking for perfection, I just want to not look older than I am and I feel my neck is the only area that is aging badly.
Answer: Neck Bands? Try Botox, Kybella, Neck Liposuction You have a few options. Try Botox to soften your platysmal bands and chemical peels to improve the quality of your skin and, one hopes, restore a bit of elasticity. Kybella or neck liposuction may be good options for defining the chin and jawline. I hope this helps.

Answer: Botox can make improve neck bands In no way does Botox make neck bands disappear compared with a surgical outcome but for those patients who are not ready for a necklift, I have found that just 1-2 units of Botox scattered along the length of the hanging platysmal muscle bands of the anterior neck soften their sharp angle making the neck rejuvenated, looking younger and tighter. This off-label use of Botox has been known for many years. I find Botox to be more effective in improving these neck bands than external energy devices such as laser, Ultherapy, Thermage, CoolSculpting or SculpSure (although they are helpful in tightening the skin and reducing fat).The information provided in Dr. Shelton's answer is for educational purposes only and is not intended to constitute medical advice.

Answer: Can Botox or fillers temporarily help my neck bands. Thank you for sharing your excellent question. Based on your pictures it appears that you have some mild platysmal banding which can be treated with Botox to soften their appearance. I would see an ASPS board certified plastic surgeon in consultation to discuss.

Answer: Neck Improvement There are alternatives to the traditional facelift/neck lift. These include radiofrequency tightening technology, thread lifting, submental platysmaplasty, and occasionally filler and neurotoxin. The non-surgical options are less invasive but offer a less dramatic outcome and often are shorter lasting. In your case, the prominent platysma bands can be treated with botox. It is worth a try given your desire to wait on any more invasive treatment. Make sure to seek out the care of a board certified plastic surgeon with extensive experience in treating the aging face. Find someone you connect with who will listen to your concerns and provide you with a framework for what is possible.
