How to Decide Between Botox and Neck Lift Surgery

Are you searching for a way to rejuvenate your facial appearance? From neck lift procedures to customized Botox treatments, our Edmonton plastic surgeon can help address all your anti-aging concerns and create a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance.


Cosmetic surgery is a time-tested, safe, and effective way to reduce signs of facial aging. The right procedure carried out by a board-certified plastic surgeon can help you address a number of concerns, including: 

  • Sagging skin
  • Unwanted facial lines and wrinkles
  • Volume loss
  • Excess skin and fat

While cosmetic surgeries such as facelifts and neck lifts have proven benefits for patients with anti-aging needs, more and more people are turning to non-surgical procedures such as Botox and dermal fillers to address their concerns. A consultation with your plastic surgeon can help determine which procedure is right for you.

Botox vs Neck Lift: Which Procedure Is Right for Me? 

Just like the rest of the skin on your body, the skin on your neck can become looser and lose its youthful appearance over time. If you are looking for procedures to rejuvenate your appearance, you may be wondering whether Botox or a neck lift is right for you. 

While a consultation with your plastic surgeon is always the best way to determine which treatment will best suit your needs, here is a guide to help get you started: 


Botox for Signs of Aging in the Neck

Sagging in the neck area can occur as you get older, and while there are full neck lift surgical options available, some people may be unable to undergo major surgery for this purpose. In such cases, Botox could be a viable alternative. 

What happens during this treatment? Botox is injected to help tighten the look of neck muscles so that your neck will have a more taught and youthful appearance. The appearance of jowls and sagging in the area of the neck and jaw will also be improved. 

How long will the results last? On average, the results of a Botox treatment last for four months. This means that you need just a few treatments a year to maintain your results. It’s a convenient option that can enhance your youthfulness without you having to undergo surgery. 

What are the benefits of a Botox neck lift? When compared to plastic surgery procedures such as a neck lift, Botox offers many benefits, including:

  • No downtime
  • Minimal side effects
  • No surgical risks
  • Quick treatment times
  • Natural looking, dramatic results
  • More affordable treatment costs

Neck Lifts 

As beneficial as Botox is, there are certain cases when sometimes surgical intervention, such as a facelift or neck lift, is the better option for achieving facial rejuvenation. This is particularly true for patients whose wrinkles are more pronounced due to age. 

Your plastic surgeon may suggest a neck lift to eliminate: 

  • Excess fat and skin relaxation in the lower face that creates jowls
  • Excess fatty deposits under the chin 
  • Loose neck skin
  • Muscle banding in the neck

Some patients may feel that they are not ready for a full facelift, but notice excess wrinkling in the neck skin, a double chin, or jowls. In such cases, a neck lift could be a good solution.

5 Factors to Consider When Deciding Between Botox and a Neck Lift 

Decisions regarding cosmetic surgery and aesthetic enhancement are unique to each patient. Which treatment is right for you will depend on several factors, including: 

  • Your age and appearance 
  • The time you can spend recovering 
  • Financial considerations 
  • The severity of your wrinkles and other signs of aging 
  • Your general feelings about undergoing cosmetic surgery 

During an in-depth consultation with a plastic surgeon, you’ll be able to discuss your concerns, aesthetic goals, and medical history, to better determine which procedure is right for you.
