Platysma band or loose skin? Was my Botox injected correctly? (photos)

May 24, 2017
Asked By:Mas26 in Little Rock, AR

What can I do about this line of skin under my chin? Is it a platysma band? I had Botox (4 units) and didn't see any improvement. Does the Botox need to be injected directly into the line? I am only 29 but started noticing this a few years ago. I don't see the need for a neck lift at this time. I wish something simple like Botox could fix this.
