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: Is there any procedure to fix a hump on your neck/back (buffalo hump)? Thank you for your question and photo. This is a very common finding. It is very easy to take care of it with liposuction. I find that this fat tends to be very fibrous in nature and I use the VASER technique to get the most fat removal with minimal bruising. This small area can be done under local tumescent anesthesia only. I specialize in advanced body sculpting techniques and I routinely treat this area in all my patients with full liposuction of the back. See a board certified plastic surgeon for an in person consultation/evaluation. Good luck.
