Subtle neck lift and facial oval redefinition with botulinum toxin
Nefertiti Lift is one of the most precise and elegant aesthetic medicine procedures, aimed at improving the quality and tension of the neck and the lower part of the face. This treatment addresses the needs of patients who expect a clear improvement in the jawline contour and smoothing of the neck, while maintaining natural facial expressions and harmony of features.
It is a therapy that does not change features – but restores their proper proportions and tension characteristic of a younger face.
At Ambasada Urody, the procedure is performed exclusively by an aesthetic medicine doctor, which guarantees precision, safety, and full control over the aesthetic result.
WHAT DOES THE NEFERTITI LIFT TREATMENT CONSIST OF?
The procedure is based on administering botulinum toxin into strategic points within the platysma muscle, below the jawline. It is the excessive activity of this muscle that is responsible for „pulling” the facial oval downward and making vertical bands on the neck visible. During the procedure:
- the doctor precisely identifies active muscle bands
- administers small doses of botulinum toxin along their course
- selective muscle relaxation occurs, without disrupting neck functions
The result of this process is a reduction in the force pulling the tissues downward, which allows the muscles that lift the facial oval to work more effectively. As a result, we achieve the effect of a natural lifting of the lower part of the face and smoothing of the neck.
It is worth emphasizing that the full effect develops gradually and reaches its final form after about 10–14 days, allowing for a very natural transformation of appearance.
WHEN TO USE THE NEFERTITI LIFT?
Nefretiti Lift is recommended for people who notice the first or moderate signs of aging in the lower part of the face and neck. This solution is particularly valued by patients who want to avoid more invasive methods.
The procedure will work well for:
- visible platysmal bands (so-called “neck strings”)
- loss of a clear jawline contour
- sagging facial oval (“jowls”)
- excessive tension in the lower part of the face
- fine wrinkles in the neck and chin area
- predisposition to a heavy, massive lower face
- bruxism (as part of supporting therapy)
It is a procedure that fits perfectly into anti-aging strategies based on working with muscles, rather than exclusively with tissue volume.
EFFECTS OF THE NEFERTITI LIFT TREATMENT - ADVANCED IMPROVEMENT OF TENSION AND REDEFINITION OF THE LOWER FACE
The results of the Nefertiti Lift treatment go beyond classic wrinkle smoothing – they include a comprehensive improvement in muscle tone, skin quality, and the proportions of the lower face and neck. The mechanism of action, based on the selective relaxation of the platysma muscle, allows for a subtle but distinct lifting effect that develops gradually and appears remarkably natural.
This is a therapy that addresses the cause of tissue sagging rather than just its symptoms, which translates into high-quality aesthetic results.
After the procedure, we observe:
- clear smoothing of the vertical bands of the platysma muscle – by reducing their activity, the neck regains a uniform, smooth structure, and the previously tense “strings” no longer dominate the aesthetic appearance of this area
- improved neck skin tension – reducing the downward pull of the muscle allows the tissues to lift naturally, resulting in a firmer and more organized appearance of the skin
- lifting of the facial oval – limiting the action of the depressor muscles allows the elevator muscles to take on a dominant role, resulting in a subtle but noticeable lift of the lower face
- sharpening and better definition of the jawline – the facial contour becomes clearer, more organized, and aesthetically “closed,” which is crucial for the perception of a youthful face
- reduction of so-called “jowls” – decreasing tissue sagging in the lower part of the cheeks provides a visual lightening effect on the face and restores its more slender character
- slimming and optical lengthening of the neck – the improvement in tension and the change in proportions between the face and neck make the neck appear more elegant and light
- improved proportions of the lower face – the face gains a more harmonious division, which influences the overall aesthetic perception and a younger appearance
- subtle smoothing of wrinkles in the chin and lower face area – especially those associated with excessive muscle activity
- an effect of “lightening” facial features – the reduction in muscle tension translates into a softer, more rested appearance
- improved dynamics of lower face expressions – facial expressions become softer and more controlled, without a stiffening effect
- preventive action – limiting excessive muscle activity slows down the deepening of changes related to gravity and aging
In the case of combined therapy:
- in combination with jawline contouring using hyaluronic acid, we achieve a clearly defined mandibular angle and even better projection of the lower face
- changing the proportions of the face can optically reduce the visibility of a double chin and improve the transition between the face and neck
- the final result is more structural in nature – it encompasses both tissue tension and its architecture
The final result appears gradually and reaches its full form after about 10–14 days. Its character remains consistent with the natural anatomy of the face, which is one of the key advantages of this procedure.
Regular repetition of the treatment allows for the maintenance of the lifting effect and has a long-term impact on slowing down the aging processes in the neck and lower face area.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
Each procedure is preceded by a medical consultation, which allows for the exclusion of possible contraindications and the planning of safe therapy. The main contraindications include:
- pregnancy and breastfeeding
- neuromuscular diseases
- active infections or inflammation at the treatment site
- hypersensitivity to botulinum toxin
- blood clotting disorders
- use of certain medications (e.g., aminoglycosides)
POST-TREATMENT RECOMMENDATIONS
The treatment does not require recovery; however, proper post-procedure conduct affects the quality and durability of the results. After the treatment, it is recommended to:
- avoid massaging and applying pressure to the treatment area for 24–48 hours
- limit intense physical activity for 1–2 days
- maintain an upright position for several hours after the treatment
- avoid saunas, hot baths, and alcohol during the first day
- follow individual medical recommendations
Proper care and regular repetition of the treatment according to recommendations allow for maintaining the lifting effect and delaying aging processes in this demanding area.
COMBINED APPROACH - WHEN IS IT WORTH IT?
In clinical practice, the best results are achieved by combining methods. Nefertiti Lift constitutes an excellent base for further aesthetic therapy. Depending on the needs, one may consider:
- jawline contouring with hyaluronic acid (so-called structural lifting)
- reduction of chin adipose tissue
- the use of lifting threads
- treatments improving skin quality (biostimulators, RF, lasers)
Such an approach allows not only for improving the appearance, but above all for restoring the consistency and proportions of the entire lower face.
Nefertiti Lift is an example of modern aesthetic medicine, in which understanding anatomy and the mechanics of aging plays a key role. A properly performed procedure gives the effect of an elegant, natural lift – exactly what conscious patients expect.
