Is there any way to make my neck less wide? (photo)

Question

Hello docs, i was wondering if theres any way i can make my neck less wide. I have an awkward type of physique and my neck/traps are too wide for my skinny body. Would botox be an option? I have been trying to exercise my traps with low weights and high reps in order to try to slim the neck area. Any other options? Please help. Thanks so much

I would not recommend using Botox to try and make your neck less wide because I don't think it would work and it would affect the movement of your neck.

It's difficult to say without the benefit of a formal evaluation. This is my expertise and a huge portion of my practice. Asymmetry is normal and expected. See an expert who does facial shaping with surgical and non surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Hello, thank you for your question. A physical examination is needed, I recommend you to schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options.

Hello and thank you for your question. I don't believe Botox will improve the look of your neck. It might be best to consult your physician first for any ideas. It could be a matter of physical training to bulk up your chest area. Best wishes.Dr. T

Unfortunately I don't think Botox injections will slim the appearance of your neck and shoulder area.  I recommend working with a trainer to help define your physique to better match the look you want.

Dear CA,A wide neck can have several components that can not be altered, like muscle, ligaments and cartilage.First start with a physical exam.If you have fatty deposits and loose skin, then yes, you can get a slimmer neck and tighter skin. A combination of liposuction with internal ultrasound and helium plasma internal skin tightening would help slim the neck in the, ladder scenario.Best. Dr BrechtSeattle, Wa
