Nefertiti Neck Lift The Nefertiti Neck Lift (sometimes called the Nefertiti Lift) is a non-surgical treatment that uses neuromodulators such as Botox to improve the appearance of the jawline and neck. It is named after Nefertiti, who is often depicted with an elegant, elongated neck and well-defined jawline How It Works The treatment targets the platysma muscle, the thin sheet-like muscle running from the collarbone to the jaw. As we age, this muscle can pull downward on the lower face, contributing to jowls, neck bands, and loss of jawline definition. By strategically relaxing portions of the platysma, the upward facial muscles gain a mechanical advantage, creating a subtle lifting and contouring effect. Benefits Sharper jawline definition Reduction of vertical neck bands Smoother neck contour Mild improvement in early jowling No surgery or significant downtime Ideal Candidates The procedure works best for: Mild to moderate neck laxity Early jowl formation Prominent platysmal bands Patients seeking a non-surgical option before considering a neck lift Procedure and Recovery Treatment typically takes 15–30 minutes. Most patients return to normal activities immediately, with visible improvement developing over several days to two weeks. Results generally last about 3–6 months. Limitations A Nefertiti Lift can improve muscle-related sagging, but it cannot remove significant excess skin or large fat deposits under the chin. Patients with advanced neck aging may achieve better results with surgical neck rejuvenation procedures. For a medical aesthetics practice such as Dr. Joerg Schuller, the Nefertiti Lift is often discussed as a way to restore a more youthful neck profile while maintaining natural facial movement and avoiding surgery.
