it is possible to liposuction the neck hump and the fat in the back of the neck. patients are usually very pleased with liposuction of the neck. you should know that swelling in this area lasts few months.
You can remove unsightly rolls of fat from behind the head and neck with tumescent liposuction. You will probably feel bruised and swollen for up to a month afterward. It's also possible to treat that area with nonsurgical fat-removal techniques such as CoolMini or an injectable like Jybella. Please consult a board-certified dermatologist to have your fat evaluated and the best procedure chosen to help you.
HiThanks for your question. Pls post photos if you would like. Liposuction does help with localized areas of fat. However if you are overweight then weight loss would likely address that. Also the scalp is very vascular so should be suctioned with caution because of the higher bleeding risk.Pls see a board-certified PS for an in-person exam so he or she can advise you appropriately.I hope this helps.....
Thank you for the question. It would be in your best interest to achieve your long-term stable weight and evaluate the area at that point. It may be with the weight loss that no intervention is necessary. At that point, if you are still concerned about the area in person consultation with a well experienced plastic surgeon may be helpful. Best wishes.
Fat rolls on the back of the head? Are you sure it is not jsut rolls of skin? An exam would be helpful.
The fat rolls to which you refer to on the back of your head are not likely to be improved by liposuction. While there may be some fat component to them, much of them is composed of skin. While fat may be affecting the rest of your body, your excessive weight is not the cause of the rolls on the back or your head or neck. There is no known way to improve this problem.
Hello, Without photos, it is difficult to answer. In general you should see some results by 4 weeks, but it all depends on how much swelling and bruising you had to begin with. We tell our Santa Rosa liposuction patients that they should wait a full 3 months before evaluating. ...
Head elevation and a compression garment will minimize swelling and bruising and was great advice by your plastic surgeon. It will just take longer to recover but probably not affect your final result. See the link below for more information why this was recommended..
Thank you for your question. It is common to increase weight in the first days/wekks after surgery because of the overall swelling. No worries , just wear your post op garter, do your massages and drink lots of water. The swelling will reduce in the next weeks. Best of luck
