Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your
photograph, you are a great candidate for liposuction of the posterior neck. The most important aspect is
to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. With good surgical technique, you
could have an outstanding result. I recommend that you seek consultation with a
qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person.
Best wishes and good luck.

Thank you for your question. Based on the photos provided, it appears you are a candidate for liposuction of your buffalo hump. This is a safe and commonly performed procedure. Please see a board certified plastic surgeon for an in-person examination and to discuss the specific details of the procedure. Ask to see before and after photos to get an idea of what can be achieved. Hope this helps.

Assuming you have no medical issues that caused this, the only way to remove it is with liposuction (any technique will work). Kybella injectiosn may be done but are more expensive.

Steven Wallach, MD · Answer

There are many different causes of a buffalo hump including medication induced and genetics.  Liposuction may or may not improve this area.

Nicholas Tarola, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question.  Surgical options include liposuction or excision.  One nonsurgical option would possibly be Coolsculpting.  If the area enlarged because of a lipoma, I would suggest excision in order to reduce the risk of recurrence.  Consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options.

I don't know of any non surgical way to improve this. Liposuction generally works well for this type of fat deposit. If for some reason the fat is really fibrous you may need it excised.

Jeffrey Gusenoff, MD · Answer

Buffalo humps respond very well to liposuction, including ultrasonic liposuction to help break up fibrous tissue. See a board certified plastic surgeon (ABPS) for a consultation. Good luck!
