Trapezius Botox, if your shoulders look raised
is it okay for anyone to get it?
 
When taking photos, some people feel their neck looks short
or the area between the neck and shoulders appears puffed up,
so they look into trapezius Botox.
 
But just because your shoulders look raised
does not mean everyone needs the same procedure.
You need to look at the cause of the shoulder line
along with the current muscle function.
 

 
First, why do the shoulders appear raised?
 
The shape from the neck to the shoulders depends on
not only the size of the trapezius muscle,
but also the skeleton, fat, and usual posture.
 
So it is difficult to judge from appearance alone
that the trapezius is overly developed.
 
During consultation, it is good to check the shoulder line when relaxed,
how it looks when the muscles are moved,
and any left-right differences or discomfort symptoms.
 
 
What changes does trapezius Botox aim for?
 
Botulinum toxin is a medication that temporarily blocks
the signals transmitted from nerves to muscles,
reducing muscle contraction.
 
When the upper trapezius is developed,
the muscle volume may gradually decrease,
allowing you to expect changes in the contour
connecting the neck and shoulders.
 
However, it does not remove fat
or change the length of the cervical spine
or the shoulder structure.
 
There have been studies observing a reduction in trapezius size,
but the studies are small, so the same changes and duration of maintenance
cannot be promised for everyone.
 
 

Can I get it if my shoulders feel tense?
 
Cases where the concern is the shoulder line
and cases where the main concern is neck and shoulder pain
should be distinguished from the start of the consultation.
 
Trapezius Botox should not be viewed as a solution
for all shoulder stiffness.
If pain recurs or is accompanied by arm numbness
or weakness, medical evaluation to identify the cause comes first.
 
During consultation, please tell us specifically
which area hurts,
when the discomfort started,
and which movements make it worse.
 
 
Less is not always better
 
The trapezius is a muscle involved in the movement
of the shoulders and neck.
Rather than focusing only on contour changes,
daily functional needs should also be considered.
 
This is because muscle strength may weaken after the procedure,
and discomfort may occur
when moving the shoulders and neck.
 
If you often lift heavy objects,
work with your arms raised overhead,
or do a lot of upper-body exercise,
please let the medical staff know about your usual activities.
 
Since the muscle condition on the left and right sides may differ,
it should also be checked whether using the same amount on both sides is appropriate.
 

 
Do not compare dosage by the numbers alone
 
On the Reverse Clinic Hongdae branch website,
there is an item for 100 units of trapezius Botox.
 
However, the product dosage listed on the website
does not mean the amount needed for everyone.
 
With the exact product name,
it is good to confirm during consultation whether it is the total dosage for both sides
and how it should be divided for your muscle condition.
 
 
Health information you should share before the procedure
 
If you have previously received botulinum toxin
and experienced an allergic reaction or severe muscle weakness,
be sure to tell the medical staff.
 
Neuromuscular disease, difficulty swallowing or breathing,
the medications you are currently taking, and whether you are pregnant or breastfeeding
are also information that needs to be checked
when determining whether the procedure is possible.
 
If you have recently received botulinum toxin
in the face or another part of the body,
please also share the procedure date, product name, and dosage
as much as possible.
 
After the procedure, pain or bruising at the injection site,
or muscle weakness, may occur.
If it becomes difficult to raise your arms or support your neck,
contact the medical institution where you received the procedure.
 
Rarely, the effect of the drug may spread,
causing serious adverse reactions that make it difficult to swallow, speak, or breathe.
These symptoms require immediate medical attention.
 
 
First, check what change your shoulders need
 
When considering trapezius Botox,
it is better to first check “What is the cause of my shoulder line?”
rather than “How much can be reduced?”
 
Even during consultation at Reverse Clinic Hongdae Branch,
please share the shoulder line you want, your usual exercise and work habits,
and any existing neck or shoulder discomfort.
 
There are individual differences in treatment effects, duration, and side effects.
Whether to proceed with the procedure and the product and dosage
should be determined through the medical staff’s examination and consultation.
