Can anything be done about my buffalo hump if it’s bone? (photo)

I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a hi-definition physique expert to rule out the spinal vs fat debate. For best results in improving a buffalo hump, I recommend a hi-definition procedure like VASER Hi-Definition Liposuction. I use VASER HI-DEF with ThermiRF, Renuvion (J-Plasma), InMode BodyTite, and fat grafting to get the most fat removal, skin tightening, contour and definition. If there is any skin laxity, then it can be removed at the same time as the liposuction procedure. Best, Dr. Emer

Most back humps are from fat and can be easily treated with liposuction. However, an examination can be done to be sure. If spinal surgery is needed, this will be a large and painful surgery.

Liposuction of The dorsal cervical fat pad works well and gives consistent high-quality results

It’s a relatively easy procedure to perform technically and any competent plastic surgeon should be able to help you with this.

Even if either a spine contour is contributing fat removal has a big impact and is the best procedure.
