Asked By:tantantanya in California, CA

I have a hump on my back/neck... I guess it's called a "buffalo hump" and I'm extremely self conscious about it. Standing up straight helps to minimize the look of it but you can still tell it is there...Is there any procedure that can correct or help with this hump?

Answer: Agressive liposuction with the PAL unit is by far the best treatment for Buffalo Humps.
