Awake FlexSculpt for a Sharper Chin, Jawline, and Neck
Chin and neck contouring removes the stubborn fat under the chin and along the jawline that holds on despite diet and exercise. Your lower-face profile gets sharper. At Goals we use awake FlexSculpt liposuction under local anesthesia, so a small cannula clears submental fat through a tiny incision for a defined, balanced look.
Your surgeon studies your facial structure, plans the contour, and numbs the area. You stay awake and comfortable. There is no general anesthesia.
Through a tiny incision, a fine FlexSculpt cannula clears the stubborn fat under the chin and along the jawline and the neck.
The procedure takes about one to two hours and you head home the same day. Most people are back to normal within a few days, and the sharper contour refines as the swelling settles.
It suits healthy people near their target weight, bothered by a double chin or soft jawline that diet and exercise will not fix, and who want a sharper profile.
Under-chin fullness that stays despite weight loss and exercise.
An undefined jawline, or fullness that blurs the chin-to-neck line, that you would like sharper.

It helps to see how awake FlexSculpt chin and neck contouring compares with traditional facial surgery on anesthesia, recovery, and comfort before you choose.
| Criterion | Awake (Goals) | Traditional surgery |
|---|---|---|
| Anesthesia | Local; you stay awake and comfortable. | Often general anesthesia. |
| Invasiveness | Tiny incision, a fine cannula. | Larger incisions possible. |
| Precision | Real-time feedback while awake. | No feedback. |
| Recovery | Quick; most back to normal activity within a few days. | Often a longer recovery. |
| Scarring | Tiny incision - no visible scars. | Can be more noticeable. |

“Diet never touched my double chin. One awake visit and my jawline is finally sharp. I love how I look in photos now.”
“Staying awake felt safe, and it was fast. The fat under my chin is gone and the line from chin to neck is so clean. It really showed after a few weeks. The team was great.”
“No general anesthesia sold me on it. Recovery was quick and my profile looks so much sharper now.”
“I added J-Plasma for the skin too. Recovery was easy, back to work in days, and my jawline looks years younger.”
Testimonials reflect individual experiences. Results vary by patient.
For most people the skin tightens up well on its own once the fat is removed, especially when it still has good elasticity, common in younger patients and those near their target weight. The contraction as you heal usually leaves a smooth, sharper line. If you already have noticeable laxity, your surgeon may suggest pairing it with skin tightening so the result looks crisp. They assess your skin at the consultation.
You will notice a difference quite early, but the final look takes patience. In the first days there is some swelling under the chin that can hide the result, and as it settles over the following weeks the sharper jawline and neckline start to show. Most people see a clear change within a few weeks, with the contour refining over a couple of months. Your surgeon explains the timeline so the early puffiness does not surprise you.
It is designed to be comfortable. The area is fully numbed with local anesthesia before anything begins, so you should not feel pain during the procedure, though you may feel some pressure or movement as the surgeon works. Many are surprised by how relaxed it is, and being awake means you can speak up at any point. Afterward there is usually mild soreness rather than sharp pain, easily managed with simple aftercare.
There is no strict age limit; what matters more is your skin quality and overall health. Younger skin tends to tighten readily after the fat is removed, but plenty of older patients get excellent results too, particularly when the skin still has reasonable elasticity. If your skin has lost firmness with age, your surgeon may recommend adding skin tightening to keep the result crisp. The honest answer comes from an in-person assessment.
Absolutely, and it is popular with men who want a stronger, more defined jawline. A blurred or heavy under-chin can soften the whole profile, and clearing that stubborn fat sharpens the jaw and the line down to the neck for a cleaner look on camera and in person. The awake, minimally invasive approach appeals to many men because it skips general anesthesia and gets them back to work quickly.
Chin and neck contouring is a focused procedure that removes the stubborn pocket of fat beneath the chin and along the jawline, the kind that holds on no matter how disciplined your diet or how consistent your workouts. That under-chin fullness, often called a double chin, is frequently down to genetics and bone structure as much as weight, which is why it can linger even on a slim frame. By clearing the submental fat removal zone and refining the jaw, the procedure sharpens the whole lower face and restores a clean line from chin to neck that exercise alone simply cannot deliver.
At Goals the contouring is done with awake FlexSculpt liposuction under local anesthesia rather than under general. The practical difference is large. You stay awake and comfortable while the surgeon numbs the area, makes a tiny incision, and guides a fine cannula to clear the fat, which keeps the procedure minimally invasive. Because you are not under general anesthesia, you avoid its risks and recover faster, and the surgeon can refine the contour in real time as you sit up or turn. For double chin removal, that combination of precision and a gentle recovery is the whole appeal of the awake approach.
The best candidates are healthy adults near their target weight who are bothered by under-chin fullness or a soft, undefined jawline that will not respond to diet and exercise. Good skin elasticity helps, since the skin needs to retract smoothly once the fat is gone, which is why younger patients and those with firmer skin often see especially crisp results. If your concern is mainly loose skin rather than fat, or if you carry significant laxity, your surgeon may recommend pairing the contouring with skin tightening. The honest read on whether jawline contouring suits you comes from an in-person assessment of your fat, skin, and goals.
The day itself is straightforward. After a final review of your plan, the surgeon numbs the area thoroughly with local anesthesia, then works through a tiny incision, usually tucked discreetly under the chin, using a fine cannula to perform the neck liposuction and jawline sculpting. Most sessions run one to two hours, and because you are awake there is no lengthy anesthesia recovery to sit through afterward. You go home the same day, often with a light compression garment to support the area, and with clear, simple aftercare instructions. Many people are struck by how calm and quick the whole appointment feels.
Recovery from a chin liposuction procedure in Atlanta is quick compared with traditional surgery. Most people return to normal activity within a few days, with some swelling and mild bruising under the chin that is entirely normal and fades over the following weeks. A supportive garment worn for a short stretch helps the skin settle against its new contour. The sharper jawline and neckline emerge gradually as the swelling resolves, so a little patience pays off. By a few weeks the change is clearly visible, and the contour keeps refining over the couple of months that follow.
One of the most reassuring things about this procedure is how durable it is. The fat cells removed during contouring do not grow back, so the slimmer, sharper profile you settle into after healing is the one you keep. The single caveat is weight: a significant gain can enlarge the fat cells that remain in the area and soften the result, so holding a stable, healthy weight protects your investment. For most people, a single awake session delivers a lasting change to the lower face, which is a large part of why chin contouring Atlanta patients choose it over temporary, repeat treatments.
Contouring is frequently combined with other treatments to round out the result. The most common pairing is J-Plasma skin tightening, which firms the skin in the same region and is especially useful when there is some laxity alongside the fat. Together they deliver both a sharper line and tighter skin in one recovery. The same awake FlexSculpt technology used here is applied across the body, and some patients combine facial work with treatments like arm contouring, planning it all in a single consultation.
There is no single flat price, since cost depends on the areas treated and how much contouring your case needs. We keep our pricing clear: the figure is confirmed at your consultation and fixed before treatment, with no hidden fees and everything written into the contract, and financing and payment plans are available if spreading the cost helps. Because the result is long-lasting rather than something you repeat every few months, many people find a one-time contouring procedure compares well against the ongoing cost of temporary fat-reduction treatments over time.
