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.
