Jason Emer, MD · Answer

For best results, I recommend a hi-definition procedure like VASER Hi-Definition Liposuction. I use VASER HI-DEF with ThermiRF, Renuvion (J-Plasma), InMode BodyTite, and fat grafting to get the most fat removal, skin tightening, contour and definition. If there is any skin laxity, then it can be removed at the same time as the liposuction procedure.

I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a hi-definition physique expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Hi, as others have mentioned, without an examination, the options are based on what other patients of mine have been happy and successful with.  I have had many address this area with bodytite  and Morpheus body.  Both have their pros and cons, but if you’re looking for minimally invasive, then both of these can work.  Kybella would not be cost effective at all and not to mention the end result would not be like Morpheus body or bodytite.  Good luck!

Dear Nkas954,
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.

Dorsal cervical fat pads when present should be treated with Liposuction. It is an easy procedure that can be done under local anesthesia if desired with one single small incision. If you’re already having a plastic surgery procedure then why don’t you ask your surgeon to address this at the same time.

Kybella is not FDA approved for this use and it is most likely going to leave an insufficient outcome.

Best,
