I had 2 small vertical platysmal bands underneath my chin. Botox was injected by my cosmetic dermatologist -days after the bands became exaggerated. Now they are noticeable looking at me head on whereas before I would have to look upwards to see them. I went back and he injected more Botox directly into the bands and surrounding areas. It's been over a month . I'm 37. I want to know if my neck will return to its pre-Botox state after it wears off? Could this have caused permanent damage? .
Answer: Vertical Bands on Neck This will resolve after 3-4 months if botox was injected. Ultherapy/Thermage may help get this better. Thread lifts can give some subtle improvement as well. You can do weekly venus legacy or exilis to give improvement. Best, Dr. Emer.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Botox for vertical platysmal bands The Botox injected into your vertical platysma bands will wear off in ~3 months. There will be no permanent damage. A definitive solution for these bands would be a plastysmaplasty, either by sewing the edges together or dividing the edge of the muscle.

Answer: Botox made vertical platysmal bands worse. Will it resolve? Absolutely - BoTox or other neurotoxins are temporary in terms of their effect. This is what make people that are happy with their result unhappy in that they need to have more neurotoxin injected.

Answer: Problems after Botox So sorry to hear about your problems. I'm not a huge fan of Botox for platysmal bands, but it does seem to help some patients. You, unfortunately, seem to be a patient that it doesn't. The good news is that Botox can never cause a permanent problem. The issues you are having will resolve as the Botox effect disappears. Unfortunately, you will still have your original problem with the bands. Consider seeing a facial plastic surgeon so all your options can be discussed.Andrew Campbell, M.D.

Answer: Botox Made Vertical Neck Bands Worse Before and After pictures would have been useful for a side by side comparison. Botox can work very well for vertical platysmal bands in the appropriate candidates. The effects will wear off after 3-4 months and everything should go back to how it was before treatment. See an expert next time. Best wishes.
