How Can The Size Of My Trap Muscles be Reduced?

Q: Dr. Eppley, Hi, my goal is to reduce my neck and trap muscles to achieve a more feminine look. I don’t think I can afford the standard Trap botox treatments of ~6k over 2 years.  I thought electrocautery may be more affordable and effective.

A:I believe what you are fundamentally trying to accomplish is to reduce the thickness of the upper trapezius muscle at the side of the neck per the attached image. Surgery would definitely be more effective but certainly not more affordable.
