Nefertiti Lift in Dubai
The Nefertiti Lift uses Botox along the jawline and into the platysma bands of the neck — relaxing the downward-pulling muscle to create a sharper jawline, smoother neck, and more defined lower face. Named after Queen Nefertiti’s famously elegant jawline and neck. Dr Azra Vaziri performs this advanced technique in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
What Is the Nefertiti Lift
The platysma is a thin, broad, sheet-like muscle that extends from the chest upward and over the jawline. When relaxed, it lies flat. But as we age — or in patients with naturally prominent platysma activity — it contracts downward, pulling the jawline with it. This downward pull contributes to jowling, loss of jawline definition, and visible vertical neck bands (sometimes called “turkey neck”).
The Nefertiti Lift counteracts this by injecting Botox along the lower jawline border and into the platysma bands. By relaxing the downward-pulling muscle, the upward-lifting muscles of the face are unopposed — creating a subtle but visible lifting effect. The jawline appears sharper, the neck smoother, and the lower face more refined.
This is an advanced injection technique — the neck has important structures (including the swallowing muscles and neck vessels) that require precise anatomical knowledge. Dr Azra Vaziri, with her Aptos Threads certification and 20+ years of facial anatomy expertise, performs this treatment with the precision it demands.
What the Nefertiti Lift Treats
Jawline Definition
Sharpens a soft or undefined jawline by releasing the downward pull of the platysma. Works particularly well with jawline filler for a combined structural + lifting effect.
Neck Bands
Smooths visible vertical platysma bands that create a “banded” neck appearance. For horizontal neck wrinkles, skin boosters may be recommended alongside.
Early Jowling
Reduces the appearance of early jowls by counteracting platysma pull. For established skin laxity, thread lifting may produce stronger results.
How It Works — Step by Step
Marking
Injection points mapped along the lower jawline border and into visible platysma bands.
Injection
20–40 units placed precisely into the platysma. 15–20 minutes. Minimal discomfort.
Results
Lifting visible in 1–2 weeks. Jawline sharper, neck smoother. Lasts 3–4 months.
Nefertiti Lift vs Thread Lift vs Jawline Filler

Who Is a Good Candidate
- Softening or loss of jawline definition
- Visible vertical neck bands (platysma bands)
- Early jowling or pre-jowl sagging
- Desire for a non-surgical jawline sharpening
- Patients combining with jawline filler or Trap Tox
- Significant skin laxity — thread lift or surgery may be more effective
- Heavy jowls from volume loss (filler may be needed)
- Very thin platysma (less tissue to treat)
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding
Dr Azra provides honest guidance — if a Nefertiti Lift won’t produce the result you want, she’ll recommend the right alternative.
