Frequently Asked Questions
How many units of Botox do I need for a neck lift?
The number of units varies from patient to patient. Most Botox neck lifts require between 20 and 50 units total, distributed across both platysmal bands and sometimes the DAO muscles at the jawline. Dr. Eisenstat evaluates your muscle activity and band prominence during your consultation and determines the right dosage for your anatomy. She favors a conservative-first approach and adds units at a follow-up if you want more correction.
Does a Botox neck lift hurt?
Most patients describe the injections as a mild pinch. The needles used for Botox are very fine, and Dr. Eisenstat applies a topical numbing cream before treatment to reduce any discomfort. Each injection takes only a few seconds. The full treatment is finished in under 30 minutes, and most patients rate the discomfort as minimal.
Can I combine a Botox neck lift with other treatments?
Yes. Dr. Eisenstat frequently combines a Botox neck lift with jawline filler to restore volume along the jaw, chin filler for projection, or Botox in the masseter muscles for patients who clench and grind. Some patients also pair the neck treatment with Sculptra or Radiesse for collagen stimulation in the lower face. She will discuss combination options during your consultation based on your goals.
How soon can I see results, and how often do I need touch-ups?
You will see initial smoothing within three to five days, and full results settle in at about two weeks. Results last three to six months. Most patients schedule maintenance appointments two to three times per year. Consistent treatment over time tends to produce longer-lasting results because the platysmal muscles weaken with repeated Botox exposure.
