I Have a Neck Mass/fat Deposit That Resembles a Goitre. Will Liposuction Solve This? (photo)

Ever since I was a small child, I had a fat deposit in the front of my neck that resembled a goitre. Doctors always questioned me about it and sent me to have ultrasounds, which revealed that my thyroid is normal (no goitre!). The mass is soft and fatty, and I can pinch and stretch it with my fingers, and it grows bigger/smaller with my weight. I'll be going to a doctor for advice, but I wanted to find out the options by myself. To remove it, would I need liposuction, or a neck lift, or both?
