What is a Nefertiti Lift?
Procedure Overview
A Nefertiti lift, named after the iconic Egyptian queen known for her graceful neck and jawline, is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that addresses sagging skin and wrinkles on the lower face and neck.
This technique focuses on rejuvenating the “nefertiti” zone – an area encompassing the jawline, marionette lines (lines extending from the corners of the mouth to the chin), and the delicate muscles surrounding the neckline.
The procedure involves strategically injecting a carefully chosen dermal filler into specific points along the targeted area. These injections help to lift and contour the skin, creating a smoother and more youthful appearance.
Here’s a detailed look at the Nefertiti Lift procedure:
-
Consultation and Assessment: Before the procedure, a qualified cosmetic injector will thoroughly assess your facial structure, skin condition, and desired aesthetic goals. They’ll discuss the potential benefits, risks, and expected outcomes.
-
Anesthesia: A topical anesthetic cream is applied to the treatment area to ensure patient comfort during the procedure.
-
Injection Technique: Using a very fine needle, a dermal filler is injected into precise points along the jawline and neck muscles. These injections work to stimulate collagen production, tighten the underlying tissue, and lift sagging skin.
-
Post-Procedure Care: Following the Nefertiti Lift, you may experience mild swelling or bruising, which typically subsides within a few days. The injector will provide post-procedure instructions to minimize any side effects and optimize healing.
It’s important to note that individual results may vary depending on factors like skin elasticity, age, and the amount of filler used. A consultation with a qualified cosmetic injector is essential to determine if a Nefertiti lift is suitable for your needs and desired outcomes.

Targeted Areas
A Nefertiti lift, also known as a “thread lift” or a “minimal incision lift,” is a cosmetic procedure that addresses signs of aging in the neck and jawline.
Named after the ancient Egyptian queen Nefertiti renowned for her elegant and defined neck, this minimally invasive technique aims to achieve a more youthful and sculpted appearance.
During a Nefertiti lift, special absorbable sutures (threads) are inserted into the skin of the lower face and neck. These threads are designed with tiny barbs or cones that act as anchors, gently lifting and tightening the surrounding tissue.
The procedure typically takes about 30-45 minutes and can be performed in a doctor’s office under local anesthesia.
The Nefertiti lift targets the following areas:
- Lower Face: The threads can be strategically placed to lift sagging skin along the jawline, restoring definition and contour.
- Neck Bands: Visible bands of muscle or “turkey neck” caused by laxity are often addressed with thread lifts, resulting in a smoother and more refined neckline.
The procedure aims to achieve subtle but noticeable improvements in these areas. The threads gradually dissolve over time, typically within 6-8 months.
While the initial lift is immediate, optimal results often become apparent after several weeks as the tissues continue to remodel and tighten.
It’s important to note that a Nefertiti lift is not a substitute for a traditional facelift.
It is best suited for individuals with mild to moderate signs of aging who desire a minimally invasive approach with a more subtle rejuvenation.

Benefits and Risks
A Nefertiti lift, also known as a thread lift for the neck, is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure designed to address sagging skin and jowls in the lower face and neck area.
The technique involves inserting dissolvable sutures made of polydioxanone (PDO) into the skin. These threads are strategically placed under the chin and along the jawline, lifting and tightening the surrounding tissues.
The name “Nefertiti lift” is inspired by the famous Egyptian queen Nefertiti, known for her elegant neck and facial structure.
This procedure aims to achieve a similar graceful look by restoring youthful contour and definition to the lower face and neck.
Benefits of a Nefertiti Lift:
• **Minimal downtime:** Compared to traditional facelift surgery, a Nefertiti lift requires much less recovery time. Many patients can return to their normal activities within a few days.
• **Natural-looking results:** The gradual tightening effect of the threads produces subtle yet noticeable improvements in skin laxity and contours.
• **Long-lasting effects:** While the threads themselves dissolve over time, they stimulate collagen production, which helps maintain the lifted appearance for up to 18 months or longer.
• **Minimal scarring:** The tiny incisions used for thread insertion are discreet and heal quickly, leaving minimal visible marks.
•
Risks and Complications of a Nefertiti Lift:
Like any medical procedure, there are potential risks associated with a Nefertiti lift. These can include:
• **Infection:** Any surgical procedure carries a risk of infection at the insertion sites.
• **Swelling and bruising:** It’s normal to experience some swelling and bruising after the procedure, but excessive or prolonged swelling could indicate a complication.
• **Asymmetry:** In rare cases, the threads may not be placed perfectly symmetrically, leading to an uneven appearance.
• **Visible thread migration:** Though rare, threads can sometimes migrate from their intended position, becoming visible under the skin.
