The Neck Tells: Nefertiti Neck Lift Stories

Inside this volume

Fifty first-person accounts describe the so-called Nefertiti neck lift — botulinum toxin injected along the platysma bands of the neck and jawline. Writers describe the cords that caught them on screen, under studio lights or in a hot kitchen, a mother's neck recognised in their own, and their dislike of the name. There is the vetting: checking who would hold the needle, a lawyer's checklist, a professor and an engineer reading the evidence, and a doctor who said no first. Writers describe the appointment itself — a row of small injections, the faint sting, the two-week wait — and what followed: bands that softened and a jawline a little crisper, reported most consistently where the problem really was muscle, and much less where it was loose skin. Side effects are told plainly, including a week of careful swallowing, a choir singer's fears for her voice, a lip corner that dropped for three weeks, and one side responding before the other. Later chapters cover first doses that were too shy, toxin combined with jaw filler, men's experiences, saving on a carer's wage, being told one was too young, and treatment as a step short of surgery.

Who it's for

For anyone bothered by neck bands but not ready for surgery, people comparing injectors and doses, readers who want an honest account of side effects, and clinicians curious about patients' expectations.
