I had this done many times with good result but this time thr ps not only injected the 4 bands below chin but all starting just below the jawbone. After 2 days i noticed i look very tired and "sick" in the mornings and i just noticed i look sunken in the lower 1/3 of my face. Loose skin all around the jaw bone. I look at leat 10 years older and unhealthy as my face is wide with big cheek bones & With the erased jaw i look totally out of balance. I usually look young with tight skin and good jaw
Answer: Neck Lifting Unhappiness -- Botox, Ultherapy, Thermage, Sculptra, ThermiRF, Laser (Fraxel, Intensif, Co2 or Erbium) I suggest if you are unhappy with the botox, consider fillers, lasers, ultherapy and PDO threads to give you more lifting to this area. Botox will wear off in 3-4 months. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: The "Nefertiti Lift" With Botox Can Help To Tighten Saggy Necks & Jawlines Sorry that you are having this problem. A photograph, or better still, before and after photos, would have been extremely helpful in this case. What I can say is that I have been injecting Botox for aesthetic purposes for over twenty-five years. In the beginning, in order to treat ropey neck cords, we simply injected the cords themselves. Later, we learned that the platysma, the broad muscle responsible for those cords, extended all the way up in a sheet onto the length of the jawline, and by injecting along the posterior 2/3 of jawbone, as well as the cords themselves, we could get an additional tightening of the upper neck and jawline. The technique was dubbed the "Nefertiti Lift" after the famous step mother of King Tut whose tight neck-chin profile is considered the feminine ideal. It sounds from your description as though your doctor was attempting to do this. If so, your current problem of sagging and loss of jaw definition may simply relate to edema (fluid accumulation) due to the trauma of the multiple injections, since it is still only two days past treatment. Alternatively, the injection points chosen may not have been appropriate or a dilution chosen such that it allowed for spreading of the injected material beyond the desired treatment zone. If the situation persists or worsesn over the next few days, you would do well to contact the treating physician. Going forward, make certain that you are seeing an experienced Botox injector. Ask to see his/her before and after photos. Best of luck to you and best for the holidays.

Answer: It would be easier to give you an opinion if you showed before and after pictures. Thank you for your question! It would be easier to give you an opinion if you showed before and after pictures. Some people become immune on Botox after some time. You did not mention if you had new injector. It is unclear what happened. I am so sorry for your unpleasant experience with Botox. Best of luck!

Answer: Nefertiti lift with Botox helps sharpen jaw line Sorry to hear about your experience. It is only 2 days after your injection, and so what you are seeing is probably not from the Botox itself. However, without photos it is hard to tell what is going on. You may be experiencing some swelling related to the injections. I would wait and see. If you are unhappy with the Botox, it will take 3-4 months for it to completely wear off.
