Subcutaneous fat deposits can enlarge the lower neck and back area between the shoulders, causing the formation of a fat pocket commonly called a buffalo hump. Also called a dorsocervical fat pad, this accumulation of fat not only affects one’s appearance but can also impair mobility and limit the neck’s range of motion; in extreme cases, patients may even experience difficulty walking. Although they tend to develop due to reasons outside our control, like genetics or medical conditions, having a buffalo hump can be embarrassing and potentially lead to back issues. Unfortunately, liposuction-based procedures that seem like viable buffalo hump treatments use manual methods that require large incisions to access subcutaneous fat. Buffalo Hump AirSculpt® uses patented technology that removes excess neck fat with a delicate plucking motion. Everything is done through a tiny two-millimeter wide entry point, and in addition to fat removal, this treatment provides help with skin tightening too. Our mechanized technology further reduces risks compared with buffalo hump liposuction thanks to its delicate motion.
