If the rolls you're experiencing are a result of weight gain, they are likely due to accumulated fat and can be addressed through fat reduction measures. Non-invasive modalities like CoolSculpting or liposuction of the area can be considered. However, a thorough in-office examination is necessary to provide an accurate assessment and determine the most appropriate solution. Best regards.

There is no definitive treatment for this issue. Kybella may offer some improvement, but weight loss is generally the best option. Surgical intervention may result in a noticeable scar, and unfortunately, this condition is often genetic and lacks a definitive cure. Best regards.

Excision is the only effective method to improve the occipital rolls and deep creases. The lower deep crease can be addressed first, although it may result in a scar, it will significantly reduce the roll. Flatter scars are generally preferred over deeper grooves.
