What can you do about uneven neck muscles? (Photo)

Question

Recently, I've noticed that my neck/shoulder muscles are uneven. It's not a huge difference, but my right side looks longer than my left because the muscles are higher. I have a short neck to begin with, so I would like to get as much length as possible. I read that you can use Botox to block muscles in the calves, so I was wondering if the same technique could be applied here. Stretches haven't really done anything. Also, would my neck look even shorter if I were to get a chin implant?

Hi BubblekarpThanks for your post. Your photo does not show much difference and often you'll find that only you are aware of the problem and other people can't see it. You seem quite young, so you need to be very sure about having anything done at this stage.You may find botox works for the muscle, but you certainly will need a thorough examination and expert advice. Good luck

I do not see any platysma band. You need to consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon for better evaluation and examination.

For younger patients we do vaser/ThermiRF combination for the neck or kybella.  Please see an expert.  Best, Dr. Emer.

you should invest in a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon for verification and possible interventions that may help you achieve better symmetry.  Your photo does not show anything obvious as you describe.
