Buffalo Hump Removal: San Diego's Best Neck Fat Procedure 

A buffalo hump is the lump of extra fat located underneath the neck, between the shoulder blades. The hump can often make you look much older than you are.

It's relatively common. Most can at least think of one person that they've seen with a buffalo hump. 

That's because there's a standard range of causes for buffalo humps to form, such as:

• Genetics
• Poor posture - be careful with the way you sit at your desk or use your smartphone!
• Weight gain
• Medications
• Injuries
• Hormone imbalances
• Osteoporosis

It's important to note that buffalo humps do not cause other health problems. The primary motive for removing them is because they are perceived as aesthetically appealing. 

Additionally, it is quite challenging to lose weight and burn fat in the area behind the neck and shoulders. Therefore various people are opting for buffalo hump removal treatments.

Am I Able To Undergo Buffalo Hump Removal Surgery?

These procedures are best for those who have a lump caused by fat buildup. Medically related causes such as Cushing's Syndrome or cervical kyphosis should not be treated with cosmetic surgery.

What Comprises A Buffalo Hump Surgery?

If you've experimented with physical exercise, diet, and posture adjustment with little progress, you may be interested in undergoing a surgical alternative to get rid of your buffalo hump. 

Typical buffalo hump surgery involves the use of tumescent liposuction.

This consists of injecting a local anesthetic solution containing epinephrine and lidocaine into the area, causing it to numb, swell, and firm up. 

Once the area becomes tumescent, the surgeon will create small incisions to insert a cannula, a manual instrument that suctions fat from behind the neck and shoulders. 

The Recovery Period

After the surgery, you will experience swelling that will last for the first week. The surgeon will give you a compression garment to cope with swelling.

It takes a few months for the results to appear as the swelling decreases.
