What is a Nefertiti Lift?

A Nefertiti Lift is a non-surgical treatment using Botox to lift and contour the jawline, smooth the neck, and reduce sagging. Inspired by the Egyptian Queen Nefertiti’s elegant profile, this procedure offers a youthful, sculpted look—without surgery.

If you’re noticing loose skin, jowls, or neck bands but want a non-invasive option, a Nefertiti Lift could be the perfect solution!

How Does a Nefertiti Lift Work?

A Nefertiti Lift is a Botox-based treatment that targets the platysma muscle, a thin sheet of muscle that extends from the jawline to the collarbone. As we age, this muscle can become overactive, pulling the skin downward and contributing to sagging in the lower face and neck. By injecting Botox (botulinum toxin) into specific points along the jawline and neck, the muscle relaxes, allowing the overlying skin to appear smoother and more lifted.

The Procedure: What to Expect

  • Consultation: Your injector will assess your facial structure and discuss your aesthetic goals.
  • Injection Process: Small amounts of Botox are injected along the jawline, chin, and neck using a fine needle. The procedure typically takes 15-20 minutes and is minimally uncomfortable.
  • Recovery: There is no downtime, though some patients may experience slight redness or swelling at the injection sites, which resolves quickly.
  • Results: Effects become noticeable within 3-7 days, with full results appearing in about two weeks.

Benefits of a Nefertiti Lift

  • Improves Jawline Definition – Softens jowls and enhances the natural contour of the lower face
  • Smooths Neck Wrinkles – Reduces the appearance of horizontal and vertical neck lines
  • Lifts Sagging Skin – Creates a subtle but noticeable lifting effect
  • Minimally Invasive – No surgery, incisions, or downtime required
  • Quick Procedure – Typically completed in 15-20 minutes with minimal discomfort
  • Natural-Looking Results – Enhances the face without making it look frozen or unnatural

Who Is a Good Candidate? Patients who...

  • notice early signs of sagging in the lower face or neck.
  • want a more defined jawline without surgery.
  • have prominent platysmal bands (vertical neck bands).
  • prefer a quick, non-invasive treatment with minimal downtime.

However, those with significant skin laxity or excess fat in the neck may require a combination approach with other treatments like dermal fillers, Morpheus8, or surgical options for optimal results.

How Long Do the Results Last?

The results of a Nefertiti Lift typically last between 3 to 6 months, depending on your metabolism, muscle strength, and lifestyle factors. Over time, the effects gradually wear off as the Botox is naturally broken down by the body.

To maintain the best results, follow-up treatments every 4-6 months are recommended.
