I have a hump on my back and a great deal of fat in my lower neck from PCOS. Can Lipo help with these issues?

Question

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

This may be reasonable.  Picture or an exam would be helpful to assess. Liposuction results are highly surgeon dependent.  Find a board certified plastic    
surgeon who performs hundreds of liposuction and liposuction revision   
procedures each year.  Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before
 and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the    
results. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), also known as Polycystic ovarian syndrome or Stein-Leventhal Syndrome, is a condition that affects a woman's ovaries. It is characterized by polycystic ovaries (cysts develop in the ovaries), irregular or no menstrual periods, irregular ovulation and high levels of androgens in the body. Androgens are male hormones.As long as you have medical clearance, you should not have a problem with the treatment of a hump on your back and a fatty neck. Liposuction can certainly help both of these problems.Consult a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon.Best wishes

PolyCystic Ovary Syndrome produces a steroid which can cause a fatty accumulation on the back of the neck. This can be treated with Liposuction.The problem is more complex than with regular Liposuction, so see a plastic surgeon with significant experience with Liposuction.
