I have had great success with injecting platysmal bands, this will not change the thickness of your neck though, it will only help minimize the appearance of the bands in your neck. I would recommend consulting with a board certified plastic surgeon in your area.

Thank you for your question. Botox is a fantastic option for platysma neck bands. If you are looking to decrease the size of your neck Botox may not be of any help. Speak with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your concern. Best,

Neck bands do very well with botox but you have to see if you are a candidate for something non surgical or for something that would require a surgical intervention.  I suggest going to a facial contouring expert.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Hello and thanks for your question. It would help to see a picture of the problem you are referring to. If the cause of your concern is thick neck bands from an overactive platysma muscle, then Botox can be successfully used to treat this. Please find an experienced physician injector as this is an advanced technique. Best of luck to you.
