I Have Had a Fat Roll Around my Neck Since Birth and Was Wandering Whether I Can Ever Get Rid of It?

Neck rolls are typically from localized fat collection in your neck. The reasons for this are multifactorial - for example "runs in the family", related to your weight, hormonal, congenital,etc. Liposuction using fine cannulas are very helpful for this. If loose skin is an issue then some non invasive treatments like Ultherapy, Thermage, Thermi-RF, or the Sciton Laser BBL SkinTyte are good options as well. The result is significant improvement for most cases.Next step is to have a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon.

Liposuction or a neck lift would be the two alternatives from your description, but a physical exam or the appropriate pictures would be necessary to give an accurate answer in regard to your specific circumstance. Find a plastic surgeon who performs hundreds of facial procedures each year. Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results.

A couple photos would be extremely helpful, nonetheless, fatty deposits in the neck can usually be removed with liposuction.  Depending on the age of the patient and the quality of the skin and underlying muscle, other procedures may be required to tighten up these tissues after removing the fat.  Your next step is to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon experienced in this area so that s/he can develop a final plan based on a good physical exam of your neck.  Glad to help...
