Am so tired of having rolls in back of my head, is there any how I can get rid of them? (Photo)

Question

When I was a kid I never had them till I gained weight I used to weight 130 lbs Now am 185 lbs.

David Shifrin, MD · Answer

If the rolls came with weight gain they are likely from accumulated fat and will respond to fat reduction measures. You could try a noninvasive modality such as cool sculpting or have liposuction of the area. It’s an interesting area and needs an in office examination for a true answer though.Best

Hi! thanks for your question. Neck rolls, like those you’ve described, are often due to weight gain. Losing weight through diet and exercise can help, but localized fat may remain.
Liposuction is an effective option to remove fat from this area, providing a smoother appearance. If loose skin is also an issue, a neck lift or skin-tightening procedure may be needed.
Consult a board-certified plastic surgeon to discuss the best treatment for you based on your specific needs.

Reza Rod, MD · Answer

Thank you for submitting your question and photo. The area of your neck under the second crease by your ears is prominent due to fatty deposit. This can be significantly improved with liposuction. Liposuction will only improve the couture, however, the crease will remain, but it will be less noticeable.

there is no great treatment for this. kybella may help but to be honest, weight loss is your best option.   surgery will leave a big scar. this is also very genetic and often has no cure. Best, Dr. Emer.

The occipital rolls and their associated deep creases can only be improved by excision. I would do the lower deep one first. While it creates a sine line scar at least the roll will largely be gone and the flatter scar is better than the deeper groove.
