Botox injections in your trapezius (a.k.a. trap tox or Barbie Botox) can elongate your neck but may also make you look older. Here, the pros explain.
— “it can also give the appearance of a longer neck.” Think about it: You exercise your muscles to make them bigger, and if they can’t contract as much as they used to, they get smaller. So as the trapezius at the base of your neck shrinks down, your neck seems to lengthen.
However, this particular beauty benefit comes with other changes. “Any time you’re knocking out a muscle for aesthetic reasons, you have to stop and think about what that muscle is used for,” Rizk explains. “The trapezius is an important one. Not only is it responsible for posture, but it allows you to tilt and turn your head, shrug your shoulders, lift your arm, throw a ball — the list goes on. By weakening it with Botox, you run the risk of limiting a lot of really important functions.
Still, if you feel your neck or shoulders look bulky and you want an elongated look, it’s worth considering trap tox. The effects typically kick in about two weeks after injections and last three-to-four months. But since trapezius muscles are big, it takes a lot of Botox to weaken them and make your neck appear longer — and that can be pricey.
