A neck lift is a highly effective procedure to rejuvenate the neck and jawline. A neck lift in Philadelphia can significantly improve the appearance of your neck by addressing multiple factors contributing to an aged or sagging neck. Traditional neck lifts primarily focused on skin removal and superficial fat reduction. In addition to excess skin and superficial fat, modern neck lift techniques now focus on deeper structural issues such as platysma muscle laxity, subplatysmal fat, ptotic submandibular glands, and descent of the deep neck structures. Dr. Anthony Corrado utilizes advanced surgical methods, including platysmaplasty, platysmal myotomy, the platysmal hammock technique, and deep neck lifts to restore a youthful contour to the neck by addressing both superficial and deep structural issues.
Dr. Anthony Corrado is an award-winning facial plastic and cosmetic surgeon serving the southern New Jersey and Philadelphia areas. His exceptional surgical skills and extensive experience have made him one of the most sought-after facial plastic surgeons on the East Coast, attracting patients from near and far.

He is dedicated to delivering natural-looking results that help patients feel confident both inside and out.
A neck lift in Philadelphia with Dr. Corrado can significantly enhance your appearance by restoring a more youthful and defined neck contour. Some benefits of neck lift surgery include:
For optimal results, the underlying tissues must be carefully tightened without over-removing skin. With Dr. Corrado’s expertise, you can achieve a refreshed, youthful look while avoiding an “overstretched” appearance.
Candidates for neck lift surgery typically have one or more of the following concerns:
Ideal candidates are in good general health, are non-smokers, and have realistic expectations for their surgical outcomes.
You may have seen a patient during your search for a surgeon who very obviously had a neck lift due to the “overdone” appearance. This not the goal at Corrado Center for Facial Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery. A properly performed neck lift surgery resolves the aesthetic concerns of saggy skin, tissue, excess fat, and loose muscles while maintaining a natural appearance. Ultimately, the success of a neck lift procedure depends on the skills and training of your surgeon as well as a patient’s dedication to their recovery.
Dr. Corrado is a known expert in facial aesthetics and has spent several years studying the nuances of the head and neck. If your neck is looking saggy and aged, we invite you to schedule a private consultation with Dr. Corrado to discuss a neck lift. Results after a neck lift may include:
For the traditional neck lift, the incision is made in the hairline below the ear structure, outlines the front of the ear, and ends behind the ear. Dr. Corrado takes extra care when placing incisions and sutures in order for his patients to avoid visible scars. During the neck lift procedure, any fat deposits are removed or sculpted for a more pleasing profile. The underlying tissue is then repositioned, and the muscle is tightened and stabilized with sutures to reduce the appearance of any vertical bands. Patients who have submental fullness on the neck and chin may require a small incision for liposuction and muscle tightening beneath the chin to create a more defined jawline.
The limited incision neck lift is similar to the traditional neck lift but has a shorter incision placed around the ear only. This type of neck lift is perfect for a patient who does not require dramatic correction to address their mild to moderate aging concerns.
Every patient has unique anatomical characteristics, and Dr. Corrado customizes each neck lift procedure to address the full range of concerns. Neck lift procedures may range from a less invasive Weekend Neck Lift to a comprehensive Deep Neck Lift, depending on the severity of aging and structural changes present.
Traditional Neck Lift: A traditional neck lift addresses skin laxity, muscle banding, and excess fat. Incisions are placed behind the ears and sometimes under the chin. The platysma muscle is tightened, fat may be removed via liposuction, and excess skin is redraped for a smoother, more youthful neckline.
Platysmaplasty & Platysmal Myotomy: Platysmaplasty tightens the platysma muscle, addressing vertical banding, while myotomy involves selective weakening of muscle fibers to create a smoother, more elegant neck appearance. These techniques are often combined for optimal results.
Platysmal Hammock Procedure: This innovative may be used to support and elevate the deep structures of the neck for a long-lasting and natural-looking result.
Deep Neck Lift: A more aggressive approach, the deep neck lift addresses significant structural issues by removing subplatysmal fat, partially excising or repositioning ptotic submandibular glands, and sculpting deep neck muscles. Additionally, platysmal hammock procedures for optimal contour and long-term support.
Mini Neck Lift/Weekend Neck Lift: This less invasive option involves liposuction with or without platysmaplasty, and may incorporate Profound RF for non-surgical skin tightening. This technique is ideal for patients with early signs of aging and minimal skin laxity.
The cost of a neck lift varies depending on the extent of correction needed and the complexity of the procedure. Standard neck lifts start at approximately $17,000.
Factors that influence pricing include:
Because deep neck lifts involve more aggressive surgical techniques, require greater surgeon expertise, and demand longer operative time, they are significantly more expensive than a standard neck lift. A Mini Neck Lift/Weekend Neck Lift is less invasive and requires less operative time, therefore it is typically more affordable. During your consultation, you will be provided a detailed assessment and customized surgical plan, including exact pricing based on your needs.

A neck lift targets sagging skin, excess fat, and muscle laxity beneath the chin and along the neck, while a facelift focuses on lifting and tightening the mid-to-lower face, including the cheeks and jawline. The two procedures are often combined for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
Much of this relies on genetics when it comes to deciding on the right age to get a neck lift. Whether you are in your 30s, 50s, or older, a drooping, sagging neck can be resolved with a neck lift regardless of your age.
Individuals who may not be ideal candidates for a neck lift include: - Those with significant health issues that increase surgical risks. - Smokers unwilling to quit before and after the procedure, as smoking can impair healing. - Individuals with minimal signs of aging who might benefit more from non-surgical treatments. - Those with unrealistic expectations about the outcome of the procedure.
When performing any facial surgery, it requires more than education to produce the most beautiful result – it takes an eye for balance, beauty, and technical precision. Incision placement is an important issue, as no patient wants to be left with highly visible scars. When considering a neck lift, it is critical that you choose a surgeon who specializes in facial aesthetics and one that can also show you images of past patients who have undergone a neck lift.
Dr. Corrado’s Expertise
A neck lift typically leaves minimal, well-hidden scars. Incisions are strategically placed behind the ears and sometimes under the chin to ensure they are discreet and fade over time with proper care.
Neck lift surgery is typically performed on an outpatient basis. Since you will be sedated during the procedure, there will be a short period of rest in the recovery room. After this short period of observation and recovery, the patient can return home to rest. We ask that you arrange for a friend or family member to drive you home and stay with you for the first night post procedure, just like you would with any surgery.
