Summary
This study explored a minimally invasive method for improving shoulder aesthetics using hyaluronic acid fillers and botulinum toxin type A (BoNT-A). The combined approach enhanced shoulder contour and clavicular definition with favorable patient satisfaction and minimal side effects.
Area of Science:
- Aesthetic medicine
- Plastic surgery
- Dermatology
Background:
- Growing interest in shoulder aesthetics, focusing on clavicular definition and contour.
- Minimally invasive techniques combining hyaluronic acid fillers and botulinum toxin type A (BoNT-A) are emerging for shoulder contouring.

Muscles of the Shoulder
The muscles surrounding the shoulder girdle, including the clavicle and scapula, primarily stabilize the scapula. This stable base allows other muscles to move the humerus effectively. Scapular movements often mirror those of the humerus and extend its range of motion. For instance, raising the arm above the head would not be feasible without simultaneous upward rotation of the scapula.

Directly Acting Muscle Relaxants: Dantrolene and Botulinum Toxin
Directly acting muscle relaxants like dantrolene and botulinum toxin (BoNT) have distinct mechanisms and applications. Dantrolene, a hydantoin derivative, acts on the ryanodine receptor (RYR1) in skeletal muscle cells. RYR1 are calcium channels present at the sarcoplasmic reticulum membrane. In response to excitation, they release calcium ions from the sarcoplasmic reticulum to the cytosol. Calcium promotes actin-myosin-mediated contraction of muscles.
