Question about ridges after neck lift - what is the best fix for this? (Photo)

The neck lines that bother you are platysmal bands. The good news is that they can be improved with Botox. The treatment is done in the office with final results seen in two weeks. The effects can last three to four months or more.

Hello, hope you are well. These vertical ridges are called platysmal bands--they are the medial edge of a thin sheet of muscle that exists on each side of the neck. If they are minor and/or dynamic (only occurring with facial expressions), they can be treated with botulinum toxin. The other options are surgical--either corset platysmaplasty or myotomies to reduce the visibility of the muscle edges.

Best,

Based on your nicely posted photos in person or virtual consultation would help. But most likely a mental incision with incising the bands directly under vision followed by Endo effect. $10,000-$15,000. Best of virtual consult with
