Can Fat Deposits in the Back of Head Be Removed or Reduced Safely by Liposuction? (photo)

fathead1Sep 17, 2013
Hello, I am a 25 year old male 5' 9", 220lbs. I have fat deposits in the back of my head which became noticeable after I started losing my hair. Can these deposits be removed or dramatically reduced by liposuction? If so which kind of liposuction would you recommend? Will losing weight make a significant difference in these fat deposits? I have seen a plastic surgeon before who didn't think I would be a good candidate because of hematoma risk. Is this a legitimate concern?

Most people have some loose skin after they lose as much weight as you have (i.e. 60lbs). But you have youth on your side; if you have good elasticity to your skin then liposuction may be possible.  You could definitely have breast implants at the same time.  The cost of liposuction...

Asymmetry is very common for many reasons. Liposuction is a great way to thin the abdominal wall fat and even out the fatty layer thickness. If there is some redundancy of skin on one side or the other from the previous surgery, you will continue to have differences. Liposuction doesn't tighten...
