I'm a 48 year old female and I've developed some vertical bands under my chin about 2 inches long which look worse when I turn my head. I've consulted a surgeon who advised it wasn't bad enough for any surgical options and I've had radio frequency which didn't work. Neither did Botox. Any suggestions?
Answer: Neck Lines / Tech Neck / Neck Wrinkles -- Soft Fillers (Belotero) in combination w/ Lasers and Microneedling/PRP "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.

Answer: Neck bands female options Thank you for your question. Without pictures si very difficult to know for a fact what are those bands but in most of the occasions those bands are created by the contraction of the platysma muscle. There are several ways to treated but radiofrequency will not help and the most effective way is surgery

Answer: Vertical neck bands. In general, if you have already tried the noninvasive treatments for this, the logical next step is some form of neck lift. Whether or not this is an isolated platysma focused treatment, versus a skin excision treatment as well, depends upon your exam. Without photos, it is difficult to really give you well tailored advice. Anything otherwise would simply be guessing. I would advise either repeat post with some photos, or better yet, visit with a well-qualified plastic surgeon for an in-person examination to better go over your options.Best of luck!Dr. SubbioBoard-Certified Plastic SurgeonNewtown Square/Philadelphia, PA
