Does the Nefertiti Neck Lift Actually Work? Here’s the Truth

Dr. Chris Croley and Jerry Drinkard, NP take on one of the biggest aesthetic trends making the rounds online: the Nefertiti neck lift.This week, they explain what this treatment really is, how it works, and why the results are often much more subtle than social media makes them seem. They walk through the role of the platysma muscle, how toxin can reduce downward pull along the jawline and neck, and which patients are most likely to see improvement.They also get into the important part most people miss: this treatment does not fix loose skin. If skin laxity, “turkey neck,” or weight-loss-related changes are the bigger issue, neurotoxin may need to be combined with other options like devices, biostimulants, or skin-tightening treatments for a better outcome.It’s a practical, honest conversation about realistic expectations, patient selection, side effects, and how experienced injectors think beyond trendy treatment names to build better full-face and neck plans.Follow Beauty & The Brain for weekly conversations on aesthetics, beauty, health, and confidence with Dr. Chris Croley and Jerry Drinkard, NP.
