Nefertiti Neck Lift

The platysma is a broad, thin sheet of muscle that runs from the jawline down the front of the neck to the collarbones. With age and use it pulls downward — dragging the jawline, deepening early jowls, and standing up in the vertical bands you can see when you clench. The Nefertiti lift places small doses of neurotoxin — typically 20 to 50 units in total — along the edge of the jaw and down the bands, quieting that downward pull so the lifting muscles of the face win the tug-of-war. The result is a subtle but real repositioning: a cleaner jawline, softer bands, a smoother neck.

At The Beauty Spot, every Nefertiti consult starts with watching your neck move. We have you grimace, speak, and clench so we can map exactly where your platysma is most active — placement is everything in this treatment, and it's why it belongs in the hands of a medical injector. We're also honest about the distinction that matters most: a Nefertiti lift treats muscle pull, not loose skin. If laxity or crepey texture is the bigger driver, we'll steer you toward Morpheus8 or hyperdilute Radiesse — or combine them, which is often the strongest plan of all.

Results build over one to two weeks and last three to four months, in line with neurotoxin elsewhere. Patients visit us from North Haven, Hamden, Branford, and across Greater New Haven for it — most often people in their late 30s through 50s who notice the jawline blurring in photos but aren't anywhere near wanting surgery.
