Yes, it’s a thing. And it’s fantastic.
If you thought Botox was just for crow’s feet and bunny lines, think again. A recent article on RealSelf pointed out something plastic surgeons probably don’t want you to know: Botox can reshape the lower face and neck. That’s right. You don’t need a lower face lift. You just need a little Botox and the skilled hand of me, Danielle Smith, Aesthetic Nurse Practitioner and Miami botox and filler specialist at smith & co.
The article goes on to say, Botox can be used “across the entire face, really—to ease age- or stress-related changes, boost the longevity of filler and literally turn frowns upside down.” So the next time you pop in for a forehead freeze, consider asking how Botox can help change your lower face and neck. Many injectors use Botox around the mouth, the chin and masseter muscles, as well as under the jawline and across the neck to make Botox a full face experience. I’ll give you my honest opinion about it: It’s really amazing and effective. It’s also used to smooth dimpled chin skin.
The procedure is known as the Nefertiti lift, after the ancient Egyptian Queen Nefertiti, who was known for her long, thin neck. And a quick Google search of before and after pics of the procedure will show you exactly why it’s called that. Expect to need 25 to 30 units of Botox for each side of the face for this procedure. However, if your skin’s elasticity loss is more severe, you may need more. As an added bonus, the procedure may also help with clenching the jaw or grinding your teeth.
If you’ve been contemplating the idea of a lower face lift, but aren’t ready to take the plunge or the financial commitment, this is a great alternative. Because feeling your best is something I always want for you, and I’m happy to help you get there however I can.
