Botox and Fillers for Neck Banding — Plus Surgical Options
Your face may look flawless, but does your neck tell a different story? From sagging skin to vertical bands, neck aging is real — but totally treatable. Whether you’re a Botox regular or just curious, we offer options to smooth and restore your neckline.
What Causes Neck Aging and Banding?
With age, the platysma muscle — a thin sheet of muscle that runs from your chin to your collarbone — can lose its firmness. This leads to vertical “stringy” cords that stick out when you speak or smile. It’s especially common in women, and it can show up even if the rest of your face still looks youthful.
The result? That dreaded contrast between a glowing face and a neck that tells a different story.
Botox to the Rescue
Before jumping into surgery, many patients are finding success with a simple, in-office option: Botox® for platysmal bands. These quick injections help the bands relax and fade into the background — with no downtime required.
At Contour Dermatology, our expert injectors have achieved stunning results for patients with mild to moderate neck banding. The treatment takes about 10 minutes, with results that last two to four months depending on your metabolism.
When Surgery May Be the Better Option
For deeper or more pronounced bands, a surgical approach may offer longer-lasting results. Dr. Timothy Jochen performs platysmal plication — a technique that reconnects separated muscles — often combined with a mini facelift and necklift for total rejuvenation. One discreet incision under the chin is all it takes, and the transformation is dramatic yet natural.
Our surgical suite is AAAASF-accredited, ensuring the highest safety standards and comfort for every patient.
