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: Familial Neck Rolls Neck rolls are typically from localized fat collection in your neck. The reasons for this are multifactorial - for example "runs in the family", related to your weight, hormonal, congenital,etc. Liposuction using fine cannulas are very helpful for this. If loose skin is an issue then some non invasive treatments like Ultherapy, Thermage, Thermi-RF, or the Sciton Laser BBL SkinTyte are good options as well. The result is significant improvement for most cases.Next step is to have a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon.

Answer: Neck Lines / Tech Neck / Neck Wrinkles -- Soft Fillers (Belotero) in combination w/ Lasers and Microneedling/PRP "Injecting soft fillers like Belotero in this area can reduce lines, wrinkles and folds as well as improve skin texture with long-term collagen production. Fillers are being used more frequently to contour and lift rather than solely line fill. Of course, fillers are best used in combination with lasers and microneedling with PRP to get the optimal outcome. I suggest getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist to create an individualized treatment plan that works for you. Best, Dr. Emer"

Answer: Hereditary neck lines and rolls even in your early 20s can be addressed with several nonsurgical options The neck can have deep horizontal wrinkles and creases even from an early age (genetics play a key role) as well as from sun damage and aging in almost everyone. They can be super annoying and are hard to get rid of.Surgically removing them is the best way to get rid of them but this can leave a lot of scars in very visible areas which most young people don’t want.These creases are usually at the skin level. There are several nonsurgical and surgical options to consider. Some can be done at the same time. Surgery combined with injections and laser treatments before or after surgery is usually the biggest difference. For people not interested in surgery, the hyaluronic acid injections and laser treatments are the most reasonable options, maybe combined with a chemical peel.These procedures can be done safely in the office and the results are often very satisfying. An in-office private consultation and examination with a board-certified plastic surgeon would be the best way to fully address your specific concerns and determine the right treatment plan.I hope this helps answer your question.

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
