Nefertiti Lift: Tighter neck and defined jawline without surgery

With increasing age, the skin loses firmness and elasticity, particularly in the neck and jaw area. The once clear jawline gradually becomes blurred, the neck appears less firm and it is not uncommon for the so-called "turkey neck" to develop with visible vertical muscle strands. These changes can make the overall appearance look much older, even if the face itself still appears youthful. The Nefertiti Lift offers an elegant solution here: an innovative treatment with Botulinum toxinwhich leads to a significant improvement of the neck and jaw contour without surgical intervention.

The philosophy of Medical NOVA is based on the conviction that true beauty is created when outward appearance and inner well-being are in harmony. This holistic perspective also characterises our approach to the Nefertiti Lift. We understand that every face is unique and analyse the individual anatomy, muscle activity and skin texture before every treatment. Only through this careful preliminary analysis can we develop a customised treatment plan that leads to harmonious and natural-looking results.

Over the past few years, the Nefertiti Lift has become one of the most most popular non-invasive treatments developed. This gentle method is particularly beneficial for people who value a well-groomed appearance but shy away from surgical procedures. The treatment offers a Scientifically sound alternative for surgical neck lifting without restricting natural facial expressions or mobility.

What is a Nefertiti lift and how does it work?

The Nefertiti Lift is a specialised form of botulinum toxin treatment that targets the neck and lower face area. The name is derived from the famous Egyptian queen Nefertiti, whose bust shows a perfectly defined jawline and an elegant, slender neck - features that are still considered the epitome of timeless beauty today. This treatment uses precise injections of botulinum toxin to relax the platysma muscle, creating a natural lifting effect in the neck and jawline.

Understanding the anatomical basics

The platysma is a flat, broad muscle that runs from the chest area across the entire front of the neck to the lower jaw. This muscle has the particular characteristic that it pulls the skin downwards with increasing age and through repeated tension. This downward pulling force leads to several visible changes: The jawline loses its clear definition, vertical strands form on the neck (the so-called platysma bands), and the entire lower facial area appears sagging and aged.

Unlike other facial muscles, which are mainly used for facial expressions, the platysma is a skin muscle that is directly connected to the skin. This close connection explains why its activity has such a marked effect on external appearance. In many people, the activity of the platysma increases over the years, leading to an increasing sagging of the neck area.

The active principle of the Nefertiti Lift

With the Nefertiti Lift Botulinum toxin type A strategically along the jawline and injected in the upper neck area. The preparation temporarily blocks the transmission of signals between nerves and muscles, causing the treated muscle areas to relax. This relaxation leads to a reduction in the downward pulling force of the platysma. At the same time, the muscles responsible for lifting the facial area - in particular the depressor anguli oris muscle and the risorius muscle - remain active.

Through this Muscular balance creates a natural lifting effect: the jawline becomes more visible and firmer, the neck appears smoother and more youthful, and the facial contour is given more definition. It is important to note that the treatment does not affect natural facial expressions - you can still laugh, speak and make all facial expressions, just without the unwanted downward movement of the platysma.

Who is the Nefertiti Lift suitable for?

The Nefertiti Lift is suitable for a diverse patient groupThe individual assessment during the consultation is crucial. In principle, people who show the first to moderate signs of skin sagging in the neck area, but whose skin quality is still sufficiently good, benefit most from the treatment. Ideal candidates are typically between 35 and 65 years old, with biological age being more important than chronological age.

Typical treatment indications

• Beginning or moderate slackening of the jawline with loss of the clear contour
• Visible platysma bands on the neck - vertical muscle cords that are particularly prominent when speaking or making facial expressions
• "Turkey neck" or blurred chin-neck contour despite normal body weight
• Asymmetrical jawline due to stronger muscle activity on one side
• Early signs of ageing in the lower third of the face with a still youthful upper head
• Desire to optimise the facial contour without increasing volume
• Preventive treatment for genetic predisposition to early skin sagging

Special patient groups

We are particularly frequently visited by patients who speak a lot professionally or have to present - such as people in management positions, speakers or people in public life. Platysma activity is often particularly pronounced in these people, as the muscle is activated during articulation. People who frequently look down (e.g. when working on a computer or smartphone) also tend to have increased platysma activity.

The treatment is also suitable for patients who are already Positive experience with other botulinum toxin applications have made, for example in the treatment of Forehead wrinkles or Crow's feetand would now like to optimise the lower facial area. The Nefertiti Lift fits perfectly into a holistic treatment concept.

The treatment is particularly effective in patients between 30 and 60 years of age whose skin is still Sufficient elasticity has. The best and most natural results can be achieved in this age range. However, older patients can also benefit from the treatment, especially if they are treated with other procedures such as Hyaluronic acid-treatments or Mesotherapy to further improve the quality of the skin.

Also as Preventive measure the Nefertiti Lift can be useful. Younger patients who have a genetic predisposition to early skin sagging or who notice the first signs can slow down the ageing process through early treatment and possibly delay or minimise deeper changes.

Treatment procedure at Medical NOVA

The Nefertiti Lift treatment at Medical NOVA follows a sophisticated, multi-stage protocolwhich guarantees the highest medical standards and optimum patient safety. Our approach is based on decades of experience in ophthalmological surgery and aesthetic medicine, which enables us to achieve particularly precise and low-risk results. The entire procedure is designed to maximise your comfort and safety.

Step 1: Detailed initial consultation and treatment planning

Every Nefertiti Lift treatment begins with a comprehensive consultation, which is usually 30 to 45 minutes is utilised. Dr Tukezban Huseynova and her specialised team will carry out a detailed analysis of your neck and jaw region. Not only the current condition of the skin is assessed, but also the muscle activity of the platysma, any asymmetries and your personal aesthetic goals.

During this analysis phase High-resolution photographs from different perspectives to precisely document the initial condition. These images are not only used to monitor progress, but also help us to precisely determine the optimal injection points. We ask you to make certain facial expressions - such as tensing your neck or opening your mouth - to visualise the platysma activity.

During this consultation, we will also clarify all relevant medical aspects: Your medical history, current medication intake, possible allergies and previous aesthetic treatments. We discuss Realistic expectations, possible risks and the expected course of treatment. It is important to us that you are fully informed and feel confident about your decision.

Step 2: Professional preparation of the treatment region

On the day of treatment, the entire neck and jaw area is first thoroughly cleaned and disinfected. All make-up, creams or other cosmetics must be completely removed to ensure a sterile working environment. This is a critical step to avoid infection or inflammation.

The precise injection points are then marked along the jaw line. These markings are based on the previously created treatment plan and take the individual anatomy into account. Typically 10-20 injection points are used. strategically placed along the lower jaw and in the upper neck area.

Step 3: Precise execution of the injections

The actual treatment only takes about 10 to 15 minutesbut requires maximum concentration and anatomical understanding. The botulinum toxin is injected precisely into the previously marked points using a very fine cannula. The depth of the injection is crucial: injections that are too superficial are less effective, while those that are too deep could affect neighbouring structures.

The total dose used is typically between 30 and 50 units of botulinum toxin type Adepending on the individual muscle strength, the desired intensity of effect and the size of the area to be treated. This dosage is customised - a decisive factor for natural-looking results without overcorrection.

During the treatment, you may be asked to make certain facial expressions or tense your neck. This helps us to Optimum injection depth and position to determine.

Step 4: Immediate return to everyday life and aftercare

Immediately after the treatment you are Fully socially acceptable and can continue your normal daily routine. There is no downtime, no bandages and no visible traces of the treatment. There may be slight redness or minimal swelling at the puncture sites, but this typically disappears within 1-2 hours.

We recommend for the first 4 hours after treatment to stay upright and do not lie down. This supports the optimal distribution of the botulinum toxin and prevents unwanted spread to neighbouring areas. You will receive detailed aftercare instructions from us containing all the important rules of behaviour for the coming days.

An optional Follow-up appointment after about 2-3 weeks allows us to assess the result together. At this point, the botulinum toxin has taken full effect and we can make fine adjustments if necessary. This fine-tuning is sometimes necessary during the first treatment in order to achieve a perfectly symmetrical result.

Effect & durability - realistic expectations

The effect of the Nefertiti Lift develops gradually and naturallywhich is one of the great advantages of this method. In contrast to surgical procedures, where the results are visible immediately (often with swelling and bruising), the effect of botulinum toxin unfolds over several days. This leads to a very natural transition, in which even people close to you usually do not perceive the change as "done", but merely feel fresher and more rested.

Development of impact over time

What you can realistically expect

The Duration of effect of the Nefertiti Lift is 4 to 6 months on average, although this period depends on various individual factors. People with very active facial and neck expressions, a fast metabolism or intensive physical activity may notice an earlier wearing off of the effect. Other patients report a duration of effect of up to 7 or 8 months. Interestingly, the duration of effect is often extended with regular repeat treatments, as the muscle "gets used" to the relaxed position.

The visible improvements include:

• One Significantly clearer and more defined jawlinewhich contours and rejuvenates the face
• Noticeable tightening of the neck area with smoothing of the skin surface
• Significant reduction or complete disappearance of visible platysma bands
• More harmonious proportions between the face and neck area
• Overall more youthful and fresher appearance without an "operated" look
• Improvement of the facial contour in profile and frontal view

The results are, when used correctly Very predictable and reproducible. Most patients are pleasantly surprised at how natural and inconspicuous the change looks. They often report that friends and acquaintances comment on their "refreshed" or "fresh" appearance without knowing the real reason. This subtle improvement is exactly the goal: to make you look better, not different.

One important aspect is the Complete reversibility of the treatment. Unlike surgical procedures, the Nefertiti Lift is not permanent. If you are not satisfied with the result - which is extremely rare - the effect will wear off completely after a few months and your original appearance will return. This reassurance gives many patients the confidence to try the treatment without any major concerns.

The optimum treatment frequency is about 2 to 3 treatments per year. After the first one or two treatments, you will develop a feeling for when the effect is wearing off and when it is the ideal time for a top-up. Many patients establish a personalised rhythm that fits perfectly into their everyday lives.

Aftercare: do's & don'ts for optimal results

Aftercare following a Nefertiti Lift is Uncomplicated and suitable for everyday usebut requires compliance with some important rules of behaviour. These guidelines are designed to achieve the best possible result and minimise the risk of complications. Our patients receive detailed written aftercare instructions, which we explain in detail below.

First 4-6 hours: Critical initial phase

In the first few hours after treatment special attention is requiredas the botulinum toxin is not yet fully bound to the target muscles and could theoretically diffuse into neighbouring areas. The following strict rules therefore apply:

• Maintain an upright posture - do not lie down or bend your head forwards too much
• No rubbing, massaging or strong pressure on the treated area
• No intense facial expressions or extreme neck movements
• Avoid heat (no hot showers, blow-drying with hot air on the neck)
• No sport or physically strenuous activities

First 24-48 hours: Consolidation phase

During the first two days, you should continue to observe some restrictions in order to minimise the ensure optimum effect:

• Avoid intensive sport, strenuous activities or heavy lifting
• No sauna visits, steam baths, solarium sessions or hot baths
• No excessive alcohol consumption (increases blood circulation and risk of swelling)
• Be careful when sleeping - try not to lie directly on the treated area
• Avoidance of professional massages in the neck and jaw area
• No further cosmetic or aesthetic treatments in the same area

Slight swelling or small bruises can be treated with gentle cooling be treated. Use soft, cool (not ice-cold) compresses and do not apply pressure. Cooling should not be applied for longer than 10-15 minutes at a time and can be repeated several times a day if necessary.

After one week: return to normality

After about a week you can all normal activities again. The botulinum toxin is now firmly bound and the first effects of the treatment become visible. If you are not completely satisfied with the interim result at this point, this is completely normal - the maximum effect will only develop in the second week.

Long-term care for lasting results

To support and prolong the effect of the Nefertiti Lift, we recommend a Consistent skin care:

• Use of high-quality moisturisers for the face and neck area
• Consistent sun protection (SPF 30 or higher) also on the neck
• Gentle cleansing without aggressive scrubs or abrasive movements
• Adequate fluid intake for optimum skin hydration
• Complementary skin care treatments such as RF microneedling can further improve skin quality

A healthy lifestyle with a balanced diet, sufficient sleep and stress management not only supports the effect of the Nefertiti Lift, but also contributes to a youthful appearance in general. Smoking should be avoided wherever possible as it accelerates skin ageing and can shorten the effectiveness of aesthetic treatments.

If you notice any irregularities, experience unusual symptoms or have any questions about the development of the result, we are at your disposal at any time available. Many uncertainties can be clarified in a short telephone call and, if necessary, we can also arrange a check-up appointment at short notice. Your satisfaction and safety are our top priority.

Risks & side effects: Transparency and information

As with any medical treatment, side effects can also occur with the Nefertiti Lift. However, thanks to our many years of experience, precise technique and the use of the highest quality preparations, these are Usually mild, temporary and well manageable. We attach great importance to providing honest and complete information about all possible risks so that you can make an informed decision. For us, transparency is not only an ethical obligation, but also the basis for trust and satisfaction.

Frequent, harmless side effects

Most of the side effects occur directly after the treatment and disappear on their own within hours to a few days:

• Slight swelling at the puncture sites - occur in around 30-40% of patients, are usually discreet and disappear within 2-4 hours. They can be easily concealed with make-up.
• Temporary reddening of the skin, similar to a mosquito bite, which typically disappears after 1-2 hours
• Small bruises (haematomas) - occur in about 10-15% of patients, especially those taking blood-thinning medication or with sensitive skin. They are usually small and disappear completely within 3-7 days
• Mild pressure pain at the injection sites, which usually feels like a slight muscle ache and subsides after 1-3 days
• Feeling of tension in the neck area during the first few days, which shows that the botulinum toxin is beginning to take effect
• Mild headache in the first 24-48 hours (in less than 5% of patients), which can be treated well with over-the-counter painkillers

These side effects are Completely normal and harmless. They merely show that the body is reacting to the treatment. Most patients find them so minimal that they do not affect their everyday life. If necessary, cool compresses or over-the-counter painkillers (preferably paracetamol instead of ibuprofen or aspirin) can provide relief.

Rare complications: Recognition and management

If unexpected symptoms occur, it is important, contact us immediately. In most cases, these are harmless and temporary reactions that resolve themselves. In very rare cases in which asymmetry or undesirable muscle relaxation occurs, we can make a correction through targeted subsequent injections.

Important contraindications and precautions

A Nefertiti lift is not for every patient suitable. The following circumstances rule out treatment or require special precautions:

• Pregnancy and breastfeeding - For precautionary reasons, we generally refrain from botulinum toxin treatments during this time, as there is insufficient study data on safety
• Neuromuscular diseases such as myasthenia gravis, Lambert-Eaton syndrome or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)
• Known allergies against botulinum toxin or one of the excipients in the preparation
• Acute infections at the injection site or in the treatment area - treatment is postponed until the infection has completely healed
• Taking certain medications - in particular aminoglycoside antibiotics, muscle relaxants or high-dose blood thinners require particular caution
• Unrealistic expectations - if the desired results cannot be achieved with this method or a surgical solution would be more appropriate
• Pronounced swallowing disorders or problems with the neck muscles for other reasons

During the consultation, we create a Detailed anamnesis and systematically check all potential contraindications. Your safety is our absolute priority, which is why we take sufficient time for this important preliminary clarification. In cases of doubt, we can also consult your family doctor or other treating specialists to ensure safe treatment.

Minimising risks through expertise

The choice of a experienced and qualified practitioner is the most important factor in minimising risks. At Medical NOVA, treatments are carried out exclusively by specialised doctors with many years of experience in aesthetic medicine.

We only use Authorised original preparations from renowned manufacturers and avoid cheaper but possibly inferior alternatives. Batch traceability and quality assurance are a matter of course for us. Each treatment is planned and carried out individually - we categorically reject mass processing or standardised "one-size-fits-all" approaches.

Alternatives to the Nefertiti Lift

Although the Nefertiti Lift is the ideal solution for many patients, depending on the individual situation, there are also Other treatment optionswhich may be appropriate or even more suitable. At Medical NOVA, we offer a comprehensive range of aesthetic procedures and will give you honest advice on which method promises the best results for your specific needs. Sometimes a combination of different approaches is the best way forward.

Surgical neck lift (neck lift)

In the case of pronounced skin sagging, considerable excess skin or severe tissue slackening, a surgical neck lift is the more effective and long-term solution. This surgical procedure removes excess skin, tightens the muscles and, if necessary, removes fat deposits. The results are more dramatic and typically last 10-15 years.

The Nefertiti Lift, on the other hand, works purely muscularly and cannot remove excess skin. The choice between surgical and non-surgical depends on the degree of sagging, your personal preferences, available downtime and budget. We will give you honest advice on whether your expectations are realistically achievable with the Nefertiti Lift or whether a surgical option would be more appropriate.

Thread lifting (PDO threads)

In a thread lift, absorbable threads are inserted under the skin to Mechanical lifting and tightening. This method can achieve stronger lifting effects than the Nefertiti Lift and is particularly suitable for medium skin laxity. At 12-18 months, the duration of effect is longer than with the Nefertiti Lift.

However, the thread lift is also more invasive, with a higher rate of swelling and bruising and a higher cost. The Nefertiti Lift works exclusively on the muscles and does not change the tissue structure, which makes it a more effective method. gentler alternative makes. Both methods can also be combined to achieve optimum results.

Hyaluronic acid treatments for contouring

Hyaluronic acid fillers can be used strategically for Jawline contouring or to the Chin augmentation can be used. While the Nefertiti Lift relaxes the muscles and optimises the existing tissue, hyaluronic acid targeted volume and moulds the contours.

A combination of both approaches is often ideal: the Nefertiti Lift tightens the neck and defines the jawline, while hyaluronic acid provides additional structure and volume. This synergistic combination can lead to particularly natural and harmonious results.

Improving skin quality through innovative procedures

Sometimes the cause of an unsatisfactory appearance of the neck is not primarily due to muscle activity, but rather to the Quality of the skin itself. Treatments such as Mesotherapy, RF microneedling or Thulium laser-treatments can significantly improve skin structure, elasticity and firmness.

These processes stimulate the The body's own collagen and elastin production The Nefertiti Lift can support or in some cases even replace the effect of a Nefertiti Lift. A combined approach is often recommended: the Nefertiti Lift for the muscular component, skin-improving treatments for the tissue quality.

Possible combinations: Utilising synergy effects

A Nefertiti lift can be Excellent with other aesthetic treatments to achieve even more comprehensive and harmonious results. At Medical NOVA, we have extensive experience with such combination approaches and can offer you customised treatment plans that take several aspects of facial rejuvenation into account.

Nefertiti Lift + facial botulinum toxin

A particularly popular and effective combination is with other Botulinum toxin treatments on the face. Typical combinations include:

• Forehead wrinkle treatment for an overall smoother appearance
• Frown line correction to relax the forehead area
• Crow's feet treatment for a fresher eye environment
• Eyebrow lift to open the view

These combinations complement each other perfectlyas they address different areas of the face and together create a harmonious, youthful overall appearance. Treating several areas in one session is not only more time-efficient, but often also more cost-effective than separate treatments.

Nefertiti Lift + hyaluronic acid volume build-up

The combination with strategically placed hyaluronic acid fillers can significantly enhance the effect of the Nefertiti Lift:

• Jawline contouring for additional definition of the jawline
• Chin augmentation to improve the overall profile
• Cheek augmentation for more volume in the midface
• Dark circles treatment for a fresher overall look

While the Nefertiti Lift relaxes and tightens the muscles, hyaluronic acid targeted volume and moulds the contours. This synergistic combination leads to particularly natural and long-lasting results.

Nefertiti Lift + skin quality improvement

For an optimal overall result, we often recommend the combination with skin-improving procedures:

• Mesotherapy to improve skin quality and hydration
• RF microneedling for collagen stimulation and skin tightening
• Thulium laser-Treatments for skin regeneration

These treatments complement the Nefertiti Lift perfectly by improving the Improve skin quality from the inside out. The Nefertiti Lift optimises the muscular component, while skin-improving procedures ensure a finer texture, better elasticity and an overall more youthful skin appearance.

Costs for a Nefertiti lift: transparency and fairness

The costs for a Nefertiti Lift at Medical NOVA are based on various individual factors and are always discussed transparently during the consultation. We attach great importance to fair pricing and avoid hidden costs or subsequent surprises. We prioritise quality and safety over price wars.

Investment in quality and safety

A personal consultation provides you with a Precise and binding cost estimatethat is tailored to your individual needs. At Medical NOVA, you will receive a detailed cost overview during the initial consultation so that you can make an informed decision. All costs are itemised transparently and there are no hidden additional costs.

Why quality pays off

The investment in a professional Nefertiti lift should always be considered in the context of the long-term satisfaction and security be considered.

With Medical NOVA you pay for Specialist medical expertise, original preparations, individual support and the certainty that your treatment will be carried out to the highest medical standards. This quality comes at a price, but it pays off in the form of natural, safe and satisfying results.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

Based on our many years of experience, we have Frequently asked questions from our patients have been compiled. These should help you to make an informed decision and dispel any uncertainties. If you have any further questions, we are always available for a personal discussion.

How natural is the result of a Nefertiti lift?

When properly applied by experienced specialists, the result is extraordinarily natural and harmonious. The goal is always a subtle improvement that emphasises your individual appearance without creating a "done" or exaggerated look. Most people around you will simply notice that you look fresher, more rested and rejuvenated without realising why. Many patients report receiving compliments such as "You look so refreshed" or "Did you sleep well?" without being asked the real reason. This subtle improvement is exactly what we are aiming for - to make you look better, not different.

Is the treatment painful?

The vast majority of our patients find the treatment to be Well tolerated and only minimally unpleasant. The injections are carried out with very fine needles and only cause a brief prick, similar to a mosquito bite. The neck area is generally less sensitive to pain than the lips or eye area, for example. Most patients are positively surprised at how pleasant and quick the treatment is. The entire procedure only takes around 10-15 minutes, so any discomfort is very short-lived.

From what age is a Nefertiti lift useful?

There is no strict age limit for the Nefertiti Lift. The decisive factor is not the chronological age, but the biological age and the individual condition of the skin and muscles. Many people notice the first signs of sagging skin in the neck area in their mid to late 30s, others much later. The ideal time is when you notice the first changes that bother you and want to prevent or correct them. Younger patients (from around the age of 30) often use the treatment as a preventative measure to slow down the ageing process. For very advanced skin sagging (typically from around 65-70 years of age), a surgical solution may be more effective. An individual consultation will clarify whether you would benefit from the treatment and whether the Nefertiti Lift or another method is optimal for your situation.

How often does the treatment have to be repeated?

The effect of the Nefertiti Lift lasts on average 4 to 6 months onalthough this period can vary from person to person. People with very active facial expressions or a fast metabolism may need slightly earlier refreshers, while other patients may still notice significant effects after 7-8 months. After the first one or two treatments, you will develop a feeling for when the effect is wearing off and when the optimal time for a new treatment has come. Interestingly, with regular treatments we often observe an extension of the duration of effect, as the muscles "get used" to the relaxed position and work less strongly against the effect. The optimum treatment frequency is typically 2-3 treatments per year, although this can be customised.

Is it possible to undo the Nefertiti Lift?

Yes, the Nefertiti lift is Fully reversible. As botulinum toxin is not permanent, the effect will wear off by itself after a few months and your original appearance will return. If you are not satisfied with the result - which is extremely rare - you simply have to wait until the effect wears off.

Are there any contraindications for the Nefertiti Lift?

Yes, there are certain situations in which a Nefertiti Lift should not be performed. Absolute contraindications include pregnancy and breastfeeding (for precautionary reasons), neuromuscular diseases such as myasthenia gravis or Lambert-Eaton syndrome, and known allergies to botulinum toxin or its excipients. Relative contraindications that require careful consideration are acute infections in the treatment area, the intake of certain medications (especially aminoglycoside antibiotics or muscle relaxants) and pre-existing swallowing disorders. In a detailed consultation, we take a detailed medical history and clarify all relevant medical aspects. Your safety is our top priority, which is why we take the necessary time for this important preliminary clarification. In cases of doubt, we can also consult with your family doctor or other treating specialists.

Can the treatment affect swallowing function?

If carried out correctly by experienced specialists, impairment of the swallowing function can be ruled out. Extremely rare. Although the platysma muscle is involved in the swallowing process, it is not essential for it. We use precise dosages and strategically place the injections to relax only the muscle areas relevant to the lifting effect. In the first few days after treatment, you may experience a slight foreign or tight feeling when swallowing, but this is normal and temporary. If you notice any unusual symptoms, it is important to contact us immediately.

How does the Nefertiti Lift differ from a surgical neck lift?

The main difference lies in the Invasiveness and the principle of action. A surgical neck lift is a surgical procedure performed under anaesthesia in which incisions are made, excess skin is removed and the tissue is tightened. The results are more dramatic and long-lasting (10-15 years), but require several weeks of healing, leave scars and carry higher risks. The Nefertiti Lift, on the other hand, is a non-surgical treatment that takes only 15 minutes, requires no downtime and works exclusively at the muscular level. The results are more subtle and last 4-6 months. The Nefertiti Lift is ideal for mild to moderate sagging in patients who do not yet want surgery or for whom surgery is not an option. However, the surgical option is more effective for more pronounced sagging. We will give you honest advice on which method is best suited to your specific situation.

Can I go back to work immediately after treatment?

Yes, absolutely. The Nefertiti lift requires No downtimeYou will be fit for work and socialising again immediately after the treatment. Most patients come to us during their lunch break and then go straight back to the office. You may experience slight redness or minimal swelling at the injection sites, but this is very discreet and typically disappears within 1-2 hours. You can apply make-up immediately after the treatment (this is safe after around 2-4 hours) to conceal any redness. Only intensive physical exertion, sport or sweaty activities should be avoided for the first 24 hours. Otherwise, you can go about your normal daily routine without any restrictions. This lack of downtime is one of the major advantages over surgical procedures and makes the Nefertiti Lift particularly attractive for working people.
