Sean Younai, MD, FACS · Answer

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.
