Reduce muscles around neck area?

It sounds like the muscles you are referring to our either the sternocleidomastoid muscle, or the trapezius muscle. I doubt you are referring to the platysma as this sits more in front. Unfortunately, there is no way I know of two reduced the size of this safely. Botox would not work here either, as it would only serve to weaken this functionally necessary muscle group and the doses would need to be prohibitively high and repeated at intervals. The only possibility is if there are were a significant fatty component superficial to these muscles which could potentially be addressed via liposuction, but more likely this is a musculoskeletal structure which cannot be addressed. Visit a plastic surgeon in person to get examined see if indeed there is any solution.Best of luck!Dr. SubbioBoard-Certified Plastic SurgeonNewtown Square/Philadelphia, PA

Thank you for your question, Phoenixforever. I suggest you consult with your board certified facial plastic surgeon. The Laser-Assisted Weekend Necklift provides a natural appearance in a short and comfortable recovery time after a procedure that leverages minimal invasiveness under local anesthesia. I leverage both surgical and nonsurgical techniques for this procedure. While you may be young for this procedure, injectables/liposuction and other techniques may work well for you. Best wishes,

You can botox this area to help soften the muscle but any surgery here is hi risk for issues and scars.  Best, Dr. Emer.
