Can botox be used to lift under my chin where it has become saggy? (Photo)

Thank you for your question. Consult a board certified plastic surgeon regarding dermal fillers. There are various techniques that can be used for what your describing with fillers. Botox can assist with lifting the corners of your mouth. Best, 

Botox would not be effective for the "saggy" skin under your chin. Botox is helpful for lines that develop from muscle contraction not loose, saggy skin. The skin under your chin may be treated with radiofrequency devices, certain lasers, and the Ultherapy ultrasound device. If there is significant laxity of the skin, surgery may be required. Please consult a board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon for consultation. Best wishes.

Hello Wendi. Botox can sometimes be a good treatment for people who have thick neck bands from enlargement of the neck muscles, however that is not the case with you and I don't recommend Botox treatment to lift your sagging chin. If you are not opposed to surgery, then that would be the best option for you. However, if you would like a less invasive, non-surgical option then you should consider Ultherapy. Ultherapy is the only FDA approved non-surgical treatment to lift, tighten, and tone the skin of the face, neck, and chest. Hope this helps.

Hi Wendi.  Botox is used in the area around the eyes and forehead.  It is a product that relaxes muscle movement to smooth out wrinkles.  It does not work at removing fat or lifting loose skin in the neck.  You would either need a surgical neck lift or possibly a skin tightening treatment (Thermage, Titan, Ulthera).  We prefer surgery as the effects of the skin tightening procedures typically reverse themselves after about 6 months.  So, unless you want to do skin tightening every 6 months, your best bet is a lower face and neck lift.  Good luck.

Wendij  Thanks you for all of the wonderful pictures.  It is best to take a look at the area dynamically ( during movement). It appears that you are talking more about the sagging skin under the chin and neck.   This  area will not be improved  with Botox.  Wrinkling of the chin can be improved but sagging of the neck that yow wish tightened needs other modalities.  It is best that you come in for a consultation.  My office is a short ride from Trenton.  I invite you for a complementary consultation so we can see which of my many treatments will be best for you.  Take a look a the link attached which describes one such treatment my lazerlift.
