Nefertiti Lift & Neck Contouring: What to Know Before You Book
A pattern of Botox injections along the jawline and upper neck muscles that softens jowling and creates a cleaner, more lifted jaw-to-neck transition without surgery.
Who it’s for
Suited to people with early jawline softening or visible neck banding who want a subtle lift rather than a surgical facelift.
What to expect at your visit
A short session targeting the platysma muscle band along the neck. Results appear over 1-2 weeks and read as a natural lift, not tightness.
What results look like over time
The lifted jaw-to-neck line appears over 1-2 weeks as the platysma band relaxes, typically holding for 4-5 months.
Downtime & aftercare
Keep the head upright for a few hours post-treatment. Combine well with jawline filler for patients who also want added definition.
How to prepare for your visit
Avoid alcohol and blood thinners for 24 hours prior, and come with the neck accessible (avoid high necklines) so the muscle band can be mapped accurately.
Often paired with
Pairs well with jawline filler for patients who want both a lifted neckline and more definition at the jaw.
Who might want to wait
If jowling is mainly caused by loose skin rather than muscle banding, this treatment alone will not create the lift you are looking for, and a different plan should be discussed honestly.
“Is this the same as a surgical facelift?”
No. It softens early jowling and neck banding with Botox alone; it will not replace a facelift for more advanced skin laxity.
What Recovery and Results Look Like
Small doses are placed along the jawline and upper neck platysma bands to soften downward pull, which is different from the muscle-relaxing goal used elsewhere on the face. There is minimal visible marking, so most patients return to normal activities the same day, avoiding only exercise and lying flat for a few hours. The lifted jawline effect builds gradually over 1 to 2 weeks as the muscle pull along the neck softens, rather than appearing immediately. It works best as a refinement on jawlines with mild to moderate sagging and mild platysma banding, not as a substitute for surgical necklift in more advanced cases, and Dr. Alaa will be upfront if your case needs a different approach. Results last around 3 to 4 months, similar to other Botox treatments, and are often combined with jawline filler for a more complete lower-face result.

Guide FAQ
Who is this not right for?
Patients with significant skin laxity or excess neck skin usually need a surgical consult instead; this is best for early, subtle changes.
Is it noticeable to other people?
The aim is a cleaner jaw-to-neck line that reads as a general refresh, not an obvious 'done' change.
Will it affect my ability to turn my head?
No, only the thin platysma band just under the skin is treated, not the deeper muscles used for neck movement or strength.
How is this different from a thread lift?
This works on muscle tension rather than pulling the skin mechanically, making it a gentler, shorter-lasting option better suited to early, subtle changes.
