Nefertiti Lift: The Non-Invasive Neck Lifting

Have you noticed that the neck area and the jawline, don't look as tight as they used to? The vertical lines on the neck, the slight sagging under the jaw, or that "pulling" downward that changes the contour of the face, are among the first signs of aging that many notice. The good news is that you don't need a scalpel to address it. The Nefertiti Lift is an injectable treatment with Botox that lifts the neck and redefines the jawline, without surgery and without significant recovery time.

What is the Nefertiti Lift?

The Nefertiti Lift got its name from the Egyptian queen Nefertiti, who remained in history for her elegant, long neck and captivating jawline. It is a non-surgical, injectable treatment that uses botulinum toxin (known as Botox or Dysport) to relax the platysma muscle. This thin muscle extends from the collarbone to the lower part of the face and, over time, pulls the skin downward, creating sagging, jowls (the familiar "double chin" on the jaw) and vertical lines on the neck.

How does the Nefertiti Lift work with Botox?

The platysma muscle functions like a "depressor," constantly pulling the lower part of the face downward. Over time, this force becomes more intense, relaxing the jawline and highlighting the vertical muscle bands on the neck.

During the Nefertiti neck Lift treatment, micro-injections of Botox are made at strategic points along the lower jaw and neck. The botulinum toxin temporarily blocks nerve signals to the platysma muscle, resulting in its relaxation. When the muscle stops pulling the skin downward, the face's lifting muscles work more effectively. The result is a tighter neck, clearer jawline contour, and reduced appearance of vertical lines.

The step-by-step procedure

The treatment is quick and relatively simple. The plastic surgeon first evaluates the anatomy of your neck and face, marks the injection points, and begins the micro-injections with a very fine needle. The entire session lasts around 10 to 30 minutes, depending on your needs. The discomfort is minimal and most do not need local anesthesia, although anesthetic cream may be applied for greater comfort.

What results to expect

The results do not appear immediately, as botulinum toxin needs a few days to act fully. Most see significant improvement within 7 to 14 days, with the final result appearing gradually. Specifically, you can expect:

Clearer and lifted jawline
Smoothing of vertical lines on the neck
Reduction of sagging on the lower jaw
More youthful and fresh appearance without an intense result
Improvement of horizontal neck wrinkles (the so-called "tech neck" lines)

The duration of results typically ranges between 3 and 6 months, depending on your metabolism and lifestyle. With regular maintenance sessions, you can maintain the result consistently.

Botox on the neck: side effects you should know

The Nefertiti Lift is considered a safe treatment with minimal risk, especially when applied by a specialized doctor. However, as with any injectable treatment, there are some possible side effects worth knowing. The most common include:

Mild redness at injection sites, which usually subsides within a few hours
Slight swelling or sensitivity in the application area
Small bruises that disappear in 10 - 14 days
Temporary feeling of weakness in the neck (very rare)
Temporary difficulty swallowing, mainly associated with wrong technique or excessive dosage (extremely rare)

This is precisely why choosing a doctor makes a huge difference. An experienced specialist knows the anatomy of the platysma muscle in depth and adapts the treatment to your own needs, minimizing any risk.

Who it is suitable for

The Nefertiti Lift is ideal for individuals facing mild to moderate sagging in the neck and jaw area. It particularly suits people in their 30s, 40s, and 50s, who maintain good skin elasticity but are beginning to see the first signs of aging in the lower part of the face.

It is worth noting that the treatment does not replace surgical lifting in cases of intense sagging or significant skin excess. In these cases, the specialist may suggest alternative or combination solutions.

Combinations for optimal result

One of the great advantages of the Nefertiti Lift is that it easily combines with other treatments for even more impressive results. It combines well with hyaluronic acid for volume replenishment, lipolysis for reduction of local fat on the neck, or tightening treatments (such as microneedling or radiofrequency) for even better skin quality. Your specialist can design a personalized plan that will holistically cover your needs.
