Nefertiti lift (neck & jawline)

Targeted anti-wrinkle injections to soften neck banding and refine jawline definition for a cleaner lower-face contour

For many people, the jawline doesn’t get blurry just because the skin is loose. Muscle pull from the neck can also play a role, especially when the platysma gets more active as you get older or when you’re stressed. The Nefertiti lift uses anti-wrinkle injections in certain places on the neck and jaw to lessen this downward pull. This makes the jawline look cleaner and the neck look smoother.

Sometimes the lower face just needs to be shaped better, not made bigger. Dr. Ahmad Othman at Derma One Aesthetic Center uses this method to improve balance and definition without making the face look heavy or adding fullness.

What you can expect to notice as it settles

The effect gets stronger over time. As the muscle relaxes, the bands get softer, which makes the neck look better when the person talks, turns their head, or smiles. The definition of the jawline often looks cleaner once the downward tension goes down, especially along the bottom edge.

The best assessment isn’t the first day because results build over time. As the area settles and the muscles relax, the look becomes clearer.

What happens in the treatment room

The procedure is done in a clinic and usually doesn’t take long. Injections are put into the platysma in the neck and, in some cases, into points that help shape the jawline. Accuracy is important here because the neck is used for speech, expression, and everyday movement.

Dr. Ahmad Othman at Derma One Aesthetic Center uses conservative dosing and careful placement to make the results look smoother and more polished while still allowing for natural movement.

What patients usually like about the outcome

Before listing details, it helps to understand what patients value most: the result is subtle, and it looks natural. Patients often report:

  • Softer neck band appearance and a less tense neck look
  • A sharper-looking jawline border with improved lower-face definition
  • Minimal downtime and a treatment that fits easily into a routine

Short-term effects that are considered normal

After treatment, there may be mild redness, tenderness, or small bumps at the injection sites. These usually go away quickly. There is a chance of light bruising. Some patients feel a little tightness in their neck as the muscle relaxes. This usually goes away on its own.

Dr. Ahmad Othman at Derma One Aesthetic Center gives aftercare advice to make sure that the settling phase stays comfortable and predictable.
