Fullness in this area is common, especially in males with shorter hair. Sometimes it is just thickened skin and sometimes there is some excess fat. An examination is needed to see if the skin needs to be excised or it fat can be removed. Go visit with a board-certified plastic surgeon.

To evaluate your neck a history and physical will be necessary.  Multiple issues need to be considered. For example is the mass a lipoma (benign fat tumor), folds in the scalp.  The physical exam can help to decide how to further evaluate and recommend treatment.

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

Your first step will be visiting with a board certified plastic surgeon near you for an evaluation.  It needs to be determined if the area that concerns you is excess skin or fat.  If it is excess skin it will not be improved with liposuction.  A price quote can be given once the recommended procedure is identified.

Before considering treatment options, we need to start by making an accurate assessment or diagnosis.
I don’t think the fullness on the back of your scalp is related to an abnormal fat distribution.
I’m guessing this is more likely related to a skinfold related to the shape of your skull, underlying connective tissue. For that reason, I don’t think Liposuction is going to improve the area.
Best,
