"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.

I suggest getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist to create an individualized treatment plan that works for you. Best, Dr. Emer"

The most conservative treatment for your neck bands would be to have Botox placed in the platysma muscle. If that fails, then consider a surgical platysma plasty with a myotomy.

It is very likely that neck lift with possibly posterior extension (scar behind ear and underneath the chin) would be a good option for you. In person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon with a good reputation and face and neck lifts ( you have few in S. F. area) is recommended. Good luck.

Hi! I recommend you necklift for your platysma band. As I seen on the photo, you do not have jawls and lateral part of platysma band so, operation can be done with submental insicion only. This is quite small operation when you compare to clasical necklift.
