Liposuction for my neck roll / neck fat - is it possible? (photos)

Question

Hello i am 22 year old woman who has always had (since childhood) this stubborn neck fat, which didnt disappear even at my lowest weight. I dont have thyroid issues nor any other illness. So far 2 of the drs i contacted said they cant perfom liposuction on me but i read on here that it is possible. So is it? Im so depressed about it, i cant even wear my hair up because of this lump of fat.

Thank you for your question. It is uncommon to request liposuction in the lower neck, but is within the realm of possibility. Great care must be taken in this area as it is near the thoracic inlet. Major blood vessels, the lungs, the esophagus, and trachea are nearby, so complete familiarity with the anatomy in the area is essential. You should seek consultation with an experienced surgeon who is completely comfortable with the special anatomy of the region.

That is not the typical place to liposuction, but some people have fat there, and it can be liposuctioned.  The incision would be on the side of the neck to get there horizontally.  I have done it a few times.

Thank you for your question. Based on the picture you appear to be good candidate for chin/jaw liposuction also you need buccal fat removal to make your face slimier.  I would suggest to be treated by board certified plastic surgeon with experience in this procedure, to get the best desired results.

Respectfully,
Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

Dear paseggilitti,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

Yes, you can have liposuction in most of that area. I would go to a board certified plastic surgeon who does lots of liposuction.
