Two weeks ago, I had 20-25 ml injections into each of my platysmal Bands. The syringe had up to 70 ml. I do not know the difference between a Botox unit vs millimeters. The procedure did not work. How long should I wait to repeat the process, and how much Botox in ml should be given? I appreciate your time and consideration. Thanks.
Answer: I would like a second opinion: Platysmal Bands/How much Botox should be used It is impossible to know the concentration of Botox you received with the information you provided. We don’t know how it was diluted. You can aff at k the person who did your injections. More importantly however, you are wasting time and money with Botox injections expecting platysma bands to disappear. What you really need is a neck lift with plstysma muscle plication. Although this procedure is more invasive snd more expensive, it will give you a beautiful result which in the long run is less expensive because you will not be wasting time and money on repeated Botox injections. You already noted “ it did not work”

Answer: Need to come in to consult For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in-person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan. It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Units or mls If your injector used 70 mls, it would be way over diluted, so I’m hoping you mean units. But even with 70 units, your platysmal bands are very strong. The proper solution should be surgical in the form of a platysmaplasty with a neck lift.

Answer: Platysmal bands Treatment of neck bands are difficult- they may be due to overactive muscles or excess loose skin, results may vary.

Answer: Platysmal Bands The number of Botox units really depends on the patient, I can inject anywhere from 10-70 units in the platysmal band area. If you’re not having results, you may also want to consider adding a skin tightening treatment, such as Ultherapy or Profound, as it may not solely be a muscular issue. At my practice, we have great results doing a combination of the two, if needed.
