Neck fat (rolls/creases). What are some more ways I can get rid of this problem? (Photo)

Question

Ever since I was little I always had these embarrassing neck rolls. I am now 21, not overweight and I am very tired of looking at them. I have tried neck exercises before but it only helped my jawline area, not the actual creases. Why does my neck look like this and what are some more ways I can get rid of this problem??

"Injecting soft fillers like Belotero in this area can reduce lines, wrinkles and folds as well as improve skin texture with long-term collagen production. Fillers are being used more frequently to contour and lift rather than solely line fill. Of course, fillers are best used in combination with lasers and microneedling​ with PRP to get the optimal outcome.

I suggest getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist to create an individualized treatment plan that works for you. Best, Dr. Emer"

In order to improve shape of your neck direct excision of the fat deposits on top of the neck muscles and possibly underneath the muscles is needed. Thick skin creases which will be improved after aggressive fat removal will most likely be present after surgery if not treated. For that reason injection of creases with specially prepared fat stem cell grafts is recommended. Chin augmentation should be considered as well. In person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon with good reputation in facial rejuvenation would help. Good luck.

Neck Lift - ideal to get rid of excess skin, excess fat and to tightened the sagging muscles of the neck.Platysmaplasty - a limited scar technique to get rid of excess fat and tighten sagging muscles. It will not address excess skin and the fat and muscle correction is moderate in intensity.Neck Liposuction - as the name suggests, it will get rid of neck fat without changing the neck skin or muscles. Ideal for a younger person with neck fat. Recovery time is short and can be done under local anesthesia.Kybella - a newer procedure that uses injections to get rid of excess fat. While it works, there is no skin contraction, can require multiple procedures and is more costly than a simple liposuction technique.Radiofrequency treatments - the newest procedures on the block will modestly remove fat while modestly tightening skin. No downtime but requires multiple treatments.
