Neck bands and very thin neck skin. Am I a good candidate for Botox? What other options do I have? (Photo)

Thank you for sharing your question and photographs. If the bands relax when you are not contracting your neck, then botox should improve their result. If they remain, your best option would be a neck lift procedure. Hope this helps.

"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"

Thank you for your question and photo. Neuromodulators like Botox can improve horizontal banding in the neck by targeting the platysma muscle. However, your photo suggests a significant degree of skin laxity as well, which would be best treated with a surgical neck lift. I recommend scheduling a consultation with an experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon who can assess you in person and create a customized treatment plan based on your precise needs and goals.
