What would be a good solution to a platysma band becoming visible in a 35 year old? (photo)

since this is the non-surgical section question, the answer would be botulism toxin product (botox, dysport, xeomin etc).you will require repeated treatment but it would reduce the appeareance of the bands.

Thank you for your photograph and questions.  Botox is an excellent option initially to help treat platysmas bands, but if you have had poor results, I can understand your reluctance.  You may want to discuss with your injector a different injection pattern to perhaps avoid the the secondary effects to your chin.  The next best option to remove these permanent bands is a neck lift accessing the middle part of your neck through an incision underneath your chin to correct the underlying muscle that is causing you to have this banding.  As you have limited banding this could be done quickly and with little downtime.  See a board certified plastic surgeon for an in-person examination and the best treatment options. 

Without examining you it's difficult to be entirely certain but Botox is certainly a good place to start for visible bands of the platysma. If you have fat collecting under your chin then you should consider a treatment with something like MiniFX which can tighten the skin and kill excess fat nonsurgically. Microliposuction of the neck may also be an option. The only way to know for sure is to book a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon near you to see what your options are. Best of luck!
