Nefertiti lift with botulinum toxin in Wolfsburg
The Nefertiti lift is a non-surgical botulinum-toxin method that defines the contour of the lower jaw and neck in Wolfsburg. A flat neck muscle (the platysma) pulls the lower half of the face downward over the years. Physician Rafee El Kaddour relaxes this downward pull in a targeted way, so the upward-pulling muscles regain influence and the jawline emerges more clearly.
How does a Nefertiti lift work?
Botulinum toxin is placed in fine points along the jawline and into the vertical neck bands of the platysma. As this muscle relaxes, its downward pull on the lower face eases. The upward-pulling muscles become less opposed, and the jaw contour appears more defined – without surgery.
The Nefertiti lift works best with early laxity, a slightly "blurred" jawline and visible vertical neck bands (platysmal bands). It is a subtle contour enhancer, not a substitute for a surgical neck or facelift – with pronounced skin laxity the options are limited.
We often combine treatment of the platysmal bands with fine points directly along the jaw edge. This releases the downward pull and emphasises the line between face and neck more clearly. The dose is spread across several small injections.
The effect is subtle and natural: the jawline looks a little more defined and the neck smoother, without changing your face. With a strong platysma the result can vary from person to person.
How the treatment works
- 01Free introductory appointment and an initial look at the jawline, neck bands and skin tone
- 02Marking of points along the jaw edge and platysmal bands
- 03Several fine injections with a very thin needle
- 04Duration: about 15–20 minutes, typically with no downtime
Results & longevity
First effects appear after three to seven days, the final result after about two weeks. The jawline looks clearer and the neck smoother. The effect usually lasts about three to four months; often longer with regular top-ups.
Results are individual and can vary depending on your starting point, muscle activity and dosing. You will receive a realistic assessment for your situation in a personal consultation.
Risks & side effects
Risks & side effects
- Common and temporary: mild redness or small bruises at the injection sites on the neck.
- Occasionally: a feeling of tightness or pressure in the neck area in the first few days.
- If dosed too strongly or too deeply on the neck: temporary difficulty swallowing or weakness when tensing the neck – rare with experienced technique.
- Rare: slight asymmetry or a weaker smile if neighbouring muscles are affected – temporary.
When should treatment be avoided?
- Pregnancy and breastfeeding
- Certain neuromuscular conditions (e.g. myasthenia gravis)
- Known allergy to ingredients of botulinum toxin
- Acute infection or inflammation in the neck or jaw area
- Pre-existing swallowing difficulties or pronounced skin laxity on the neck – in the first case we treat especially cautiously, in the second a surgical approach is more effective
Aftercare
- Do not rub or massage the neck and jaw area for the first few hours
- Keep your head upright for about 4 hours; do not lie down
- No intense sport, sauna or tanning for 24 hours
- Blood thinners and alcohol increase the risk of bruising

Frequently asked questions
Does the Nefertiti lift replace a facelift?
No. It subtly defines the jawline by releasing the neck muscle’s downward pull. With pronounced skin laxity the options are limited.
Is the neck or the face treated?
Both, in the transition zone: fine points along the jaw edge and into the vertical neck bands (platysmal bands).
How long does a Nefertiti lift last?
Usually about three to four months. With regular top-ups the effect often lasts longer.
Can I swallow and speak normally afterwards?
As a rule, yes. With experienced, conservative technique on the neck, temporary swallowing difficulty is rare.
What does a Nefertiti lift cost in Wolfsburg?
The Nefertiti lift starts from €199, depending on the amount needed. The introductory appointment is free and without obligation.
Who is a Nefertiti lift suitable for?
Suitable for early laxity, a slightly blurred jawline and visible neck bands. With pronounced skin laxity, a surgical approach is more effective – and we say so honestly.
