Will neck liposuction fix my genetic fat neck? (Photo)

Thank you for submitting your question and including photos. You would be a great candidate for submental liposuction. Unfortunately that fullness is usually genetic but can be decreased with liposuction. I recommend scheduling a consult with a board certified plastic surgeon like myself so we can create a surgical plan based on your goals.

Thank you for your question. When diet and exercise do not successfully reduce excess fat in the neck area, neck liposuction can be a helpful treatment option. The outcome also relies on the skin's elasticity; younger individuals with more elastic skin generally experience better skin retraction after liposuction. I would recommend skin tightening to give you the best results possible.

Hello madisonvvvl,

Thank you for your question regarding the best solution for genetic neck fat.

Based on your description and photo, liposuction is an excellent solution for addressing excess fat in the neck, especially when it's resistant to weight loss.

Why Liposuction is Ideal for Genetic Neck Fat:

Targeted Fat Removal:

Liposuction precisely targets and removes fat from specific areas, making it highly effective for contouring the neck and improving your profile.
Permanent Results:

Once the fat cells are removed through liposuction, they do not grow back. This ensures long-lasting results, providing a more defined and slimmer neck appearance.
Minimally Invasive:

Neck liposuction is a minimally invasive procedure with a relatively quick recovery time. It involves small incisions and leaves minimal scarring, usually hidden in natural creases.
Genetic Fat Reduction:

Since your neck fat is genetic, it is likely resistant to diet and exercise. Liposuction can effectively reduce this stubborn fat, giving you the desired contour that weight loss alone cannot achieve.
Conclusion:

You would be an excellent candidate for neck liposuction based on your photo and description of genetic neck fat. This procedure will effectively address the excess fat and provide you with a more defined and aesthetically pleasing neck contour.

Good luck, and I hope I’ve answered your question regarding the best solution for your genetic neck fat.
