Rejuvenation requires looking at various components that define an aging neck. The best results for neck rejuvenation can be surgical (submentoplasty); however not everyone wants the risks, downtime and potential complications of direct submentoplasty. The use of Botox for neck pain has yielded a positive method in neck rejuvenation techniques.

Before & After

Botox injections in neck rejuvenation techniques are rather painless, and the instant tightening and lifting is noticed within 2 weeks of treatment. Extra care has to be put in placing the Botox injections in neck rejuvenation because of the position of the airway muscles.

Dr. Tanya Kormeili specializes in all non-surgical techniques in neck rejuvenation, and works with a variety of plastic surgeons for any surgical component of the treatment.

In expert hands however, Botox for Neck Rejuvenation is a great addition to other treatments such as Ultherpy, Kybella injections, Coolsculpting or Theramage- all using technology to avoid surgery.

Frequently, lasers, peels and fat loss treatments such as Kybella or Coolsculpting can be added to submentoplasty for full correction. A tight neck with fine lines, red spots, brown spots or bulging fat is not as nice as one that has all components of aging corrected.

More importantly, given the close proximity of the neck to the chest, expert dermatologists, always treat the aging chest to match the rejuvenated neck!

The first step in neck rejuvenation is medical evaluation and treatment and designing your individualized plan.
