What can I do to help this from gettin worse? I’ve done lasers, psr3, use a good daily skin routin but nothing is helping. I’m so self conscious about my neck I’ve even had a person point out my mini turkey neck is it too early for a neck lift? I also had jowls forming but the psr3 really helped with that. Thank you for any info in advance!
Answer: Genetics Unfortunately there are no shortcuts. There are many less invasive modalities that will help temporize your concerns. A consultation for neck contour should consists of a discussion including the superficial as well as deep neck anatomy. The platysmas attachments to the skin is one component. The platysma and how it is initially structured - your anatomy appears that there is a high divergence accentuating your concerns. If you have deep neck structures blunting your cervicomental angle - submandibular glands, digastric muscles, interdigastric fat. An approach can then be designed to cater to your needs. You appear to have great skin quality. A good physical exam by a surgeon comfortable in navigating the above anatomy is key. If I can help answer any other questions do let me know. Best of luck in your search!

Answer: Neck Lines / Tech Neck / Neck Wrinkles -- Soft Fillers (Belotero) in combination w/ Lasers and Microneedling/PRP "Injecting soft fillers like Belotero in this area can reduce lines, wrinkles and folds as well as improve skin texture with long-term collagen production. Fillers are being used more frequently to contour and lift rather than solely line fill. Of course, fillers are best used in combination with lasers and microneedling with PRP to get the optimal outcome.

Answer: How Botox treatments may be right for you Thank you for your question and photos. You would most likely benefit from Botox injections to treat the platysma bands you’re referring to. Neck banding can become more visible as the skin becomes thinner. When injected directly into the neck bands, Botox can reduce the activity of the muscle to make the bands less visible. This treatment option can also prevent the banding from getting worse over time when an appropriate dosage and injection schedule are maintained. I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with an experienced, board-certified injector who can assess your concern and determine the best course of action to help you achieve your aesthetic goals.
