Will CoolSculpting effectively remove a buffalo hump? (Photo)

CoolSculpting can't treat that particular area bc there is not an applicator that fits there. If you truly desire improvement there please seek a BC Plastic Surgery for help. Best of Luck.

Thank you very much for your question and
photograph. While CoolSculpting is an excellent option for treating isolated
areas of fatty tissue, it cannot provide results everywhere. Unfortunately, the
fatty tissue that accumulates behind the shoulders, sometimes referred to as a
‘buffalo hump’, is impossible for the CoolSculpting applicators to grab ahold
of. For this reason, CoolSculpting is not recommended for treatment. A better
option would be a semi-invasive liposuction technique. I suggest making an in-person
consultation appointment with an experienced, board certified plastic surgeon.
At this time, he/she can review your medical history and perform a physical
exam to determine the cause of your ‘buffalo hump’ and review all of your
options for correction. 

CoolSculpting won’t work well on a buffalo hump, since they are composed of fibrous tissue and fat and it would be hard to penetrate deep enough to reach all the fat with CoolSculpting. Liposculpture of a buffalo hump will remove the entire bulge in one treatment session. You won’t have much or possibly any downtime, as that’s not an area that is stressed during most normal activities. With tumescent liposculpture, small microcannulas can gently remove the fat with multiple tiny tunnels, assuring a smooth result and good skin retraction. There is very little tenderness and bruising with this method, which is truly the best option in your case. Please find a board-certified dermatologist to evaluate your buffalo hump for liposuction.
