I am 24 years old and although I have never been overweight, I have always had these hereditary "neck rolls". Many of my family members have them but it seems like mine are a little more noticeable. I know they can never be completely gone but reducing them would help a lot. I am confused as to whether it's just lines/creases that something like fillers can fix or is it more so fat that can use some liposuction? I can deal with the lines if my neck was smoother and they looked less like rolls.

Answer: Neck Creases Thank you for your pictures. You have natural creases. This is unique to you. There is no surgery that will predictably improve your natural neck creases. I would not seek any treatment for this.Earl Stephenson Jr, MD DDS FACS

Answer: Neck lines Dear Newme4me, Thanks for submitting your pictures. The neck lines are not caused by fat but rather they are caused by fibrous attachments of the skin to the underlying muscle. The fat is just making the lines more noticable by plumping the skin folds. The solution for that condition can be conservative or surgical. The conservative way is to lose weight which will reduce the protruding folds. Obveiously it can be difficult and fluctuating. Surgery, that involves liposuction, is permanent when done right. During the liposuction procedure the fat is removed and the fibrous attachments are weakened and allowing the skin to redraped smoothly. Always, consult with board certified plastic surgeons and check their before and after pictures to make sure that you like the results. Best of luck, Dr Widder
