The Nefertiti Lift with Sculptra Aesthetic Rather than Botox

About one year ago, I reviewed a published article promoting the "Nefertiti Lift" (http://www.pickartplasticsurgeryblog.com/2008/12/the-nefertiti-lift-can-botox-tighten-an-aging-jaw-line.html).  The Nefertiti Lift is a technique for using Botox to rejuvenate the aging jawline and neck.

• My immediate conclusion:  I'm skeptical.
• My conclusion one year later, after having tried the Nefertiti Lift on a number of patients:  Bogus.

However, I have since discovered that Nefertiti Lifts are possible with certain non-surgical products.  Botox just isn't the right product.  Sculptra Aesthetic can--non-surgically--rejuvenate some poorly defined jawlines, baggy jowls, and loose neck skin.

The surgical face/neck lift is still the gold standard.
