I have talked with a doctor about using Botox on these which he calls platysmal bands. They seem to come and go particularly when I lose weight. I have an underlying condition of the thyroid that causes me to lose weight. I am only 38 and When I talk the two in the front are moving, so it looks like they are firm. I don't know what to do? Do you recommend a surgery for this? Thank you!

Answer: Treating platysmal bands. There is almost no downside to treating your platysmal bands with Botox to see how much better the appearance can be with this non-invasive modality.. If Botox corrects this enough then you can repeat it every 3-4 months to maintain the effect. If Botox does not correct this sufficiently, you may consider a neck lift, where the bands can be treated surgically and likely will give you a excellent neck contour for years to come. Best to discuss this in person with a board certified plastic surgeon of your choosing.
