I have both platysmal banding and some loose skin (no fat) directly under my chin. However when I have botox done in the two front platysmal bands, the bands soften BUT the loose skin hangs more when the platysma weakens. But I know others who get it done and that doesn't happen. Just want to know why? A neck lift is in my near future. The downtime is the only thing holding me back.

Answer: Botox for platysmal bands Botox for the platysmal bands will soften the appearance of these bands but does not affect the skin directly. If you have loose skin in this area the reduction of the bands may make the loose skin more apparent. If you have good skin elasticity, this effect is not typically noticeable as the skin retracts naturally when the muscle activity is reduced.

Answer: Relaxing a strong platysma This is a great question! Individuals who have a strong platysma, have a wider circumference of their neck when they activate this muscle. When you use botox/dysport to relax the muscle, the circumference of your neck will be smaller. If you have some elasticity to your skin, it will appear more loose as the circumference of your neck has gotten smaller. However, if your skin is nice and elastic, you will not see this.
