Welcome to Cosmetic Surgery Affiliates
Enhance the Elegance of Your Neck
Your unique facial structure is determined by a number of factors. Genetics, hormones, and weight gain or loss can contribute to fat developing around the face, chin, and neck. These pockets of fat can be particularly frustrating because they are often resistant to exercise; so even if you live a healthy lifestyle, they still might linger.
Cosmetic neck surgery in Jacksonville is an effective method for enhancing the face and neck area to provide a more contoured and defined jawline. The best part is, once the surgery is over, the results are permanent!
The first step to a sleeker facial structure is scheduling a consultation at Cosmetic Surgery Affiliates. We’ll discuss your concerns, goals, and candidacy.

What to Expect
The Neck Surgery Process
1
Consultation
Before scheduling your neck surgery appointment at Cosmetic Surgery Affiliates, we’ll first schedule an in-depth consultation with one of our triple board-certified surgeons. Your provider will get to know you, your medical history, and your desired results. Sometimes we perform neck surgery in conjunction with other cosmetic procedures for optimal results. Once we’ve determined if this treatment is the best fit for you, we will schedule your procedure.
2
Your Surgery
Neck surgery is performed under local anesthesia. We’ll begin by thoroughly cleansing the treatment area. Your surgeon will then make incisions and proceed with the surgical procedures discussed in your consultation. Afterward, we apply bandages, and supportive chin strap as needed to promote proper healing.

Your Results
Your results will be immediately noticeable, but there will likely be some bruising or swelling as the treatment area heals. After surgery, we’ll provide you with specific post-op instructions to facilitate proper recovery. Swelling and bruising are normal, and should disappear within a couple of days. Plan to take it easy and rest for 2 to 3 days following your procedure. You can return to all of your normal activities after 2 weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions
- How soon will I see results?
-
Typically, you can expect to see your full results within 3 to 4 weeks. This will allow for the bruising and swelling to completely resolve and the tissues to heal.
- Are there other options for treating a double chin?
-
For those who would prefer a non-surgical option, injectables like Kybella can be a great option for reducing the fat in your chin area!
- Can neck surgery be combined with other procedures?
-
Yes. Because neck surgery only targets specific areas, sometimes we combine the procedure with facelifts or other techniques for reducing excess skin at the same time. Your provider will discuss the most effective solution for reaching your goals during your consultation.
