Neck lift, what is it?
The botulinum toxin neck lift is also known as the Nefertiti neck lift. Nefertiti was a queen in ancient Egypt with a legendary jawline. If there is tension on the neck muscle, the jawline is less visible. The muscle in the neck can also be visible as one or more tight bands (the neck bands). By treating this muscle with botulinum toxin, the jawline can be tightened and the lines in the neck, the neck bands, can be reduced.

The doctor assesses the degree of tension in the neck muscle. Sometimes it is also necessary to treat muscles around the mouth for a better result. The skin is disinfected and marked. After that, the botulinum toxin is injected. The muscle will relax as a result and the jawline will become more visible. The neck bands will also disappear. The treatment is experienced as barely painful and takes about 10 minutes in total.
For whom is the Nefertiti neck lift suitable?
The Nefertiti neck lift works best for mild to moderate sagging of the neck and jawline. Think of a jawline that is becoming less sharp, or visible vertical bands in the neck (the so-called neck bands). These bands form because the neck muscle, the platysma, pulls the skin downwards. By relaxing that muscle with botulinum toxin, the jawline is brought out more and the neck looks smoother.
The treatment is especially suitable for people who want to subtly rejuvenate their neck and jawline without surgery and without recovery time. The treatment is also regularly used to stay ahead of further sagging.
If there is significant excess skin, for example a noticeably sagging neck after significant weight loss, botulinum toxin cannot fix that. In that case, a surgical neck lift provides a more pronounced and longer-lasting result. We do not perform surgical procedures, but during the free consultation, the doctor will discuss honestly whether the Nefertiti neck lift is sensible for your situation or if you are better off with a different route.
