Botulinum toxin can be used for various purposes to enhance neck aesthetics, addressing concerns such as platysmal bands, optimizing the cervicomental angle, preventing worsening of horizontal neckline and decolletage lines during aging, submandibular gland hypertrophy, and hypertrophied superior trapezius muscle. Understanding the anatomy of muscles such as the trapezius, platysma, and submandibular gland is crucial for achieving desirable outcomes with botulinum toxin administration. Techniques for injecting botulinum toxin into these muscles are discussed, emphasizing safety and efficacy. Specific injection points and methods are detailed for treating platysmal bands, optimizing the cervicomental angle, addressing submandibular gland hypertrophy, and managing hypertrophied superior trapezius muscle. Careful consideration of anatomical landmarks and potential complications is essential for successful botulinum toxin injections in these areas.
肉毒杆菌毒素可用于多种目的，以改善颈部美观，解决诸如颈阔肌条索、优化颌颈角、防止衰老过程中颈部水平皱纹和胸部皱纹恶化、下颌下腺肥大以及上斜方肌肥大等问题。了解斜方肌、颈阔肌和下颌下腺等肌肉的解剖结构对于通过注射肉毒杆菌毒素实现理想效果至关重要。本文讨论了将肉毒杆菌毒素注射到这些肌肉中的技术，强调了安全性和有效性。详细介绍了治疗颈阔肌条索、优化颌颈角、解决下颌下腺肥大以及处理上斜方肌肥大的具体注射点和方法。在这些区域成功注射肉毒杆菌毒素，仔细考虑解剖标志和潜在并发症至关重要。
