Do I need Botox for my platysma bands? Or is it just stubborn fat? (Photos)

Considerate256500
Hello, I've had this issue since early 20s. I thought it was just a double chin but even after losing 60 pounds, it's still greatly noticeable. When I contract my platysma, these bands pop up. Especially the middle one that contributes to my turkey neck/double chin look. This double chin looks different, very deflated and minimizes the definition of a jawline. Would botox be more of what I need before considering aggressive procedures? Or is it just stubborn fat?
