Buffalo Hump Removal

A buffalo hump refers to an accumulation of excess fat at the back of the neck and upper back. This condition can affect both men and women, leading to discomfort, restricted neck movement, and self-consciousness. A buffalo hump is generally not harmful to your overall health, but many people find it aesthetically bothersome due to its noticeable appearance. It’s also a difficult area to target with diet and exercise alone. Fortunately, buffalo hump reduction offers an effective and fast solution to address this concern.

Reasons for Buffalo Hump

There are several reasons why this can occur, including:

• Visible Fatty Buildup: Noticeable swelling or a hump at the base of the neck.
• Discomfort: Can cause neck pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility.
• Posture Issues: May contribute to poor posture or make it challenging to hold the head upright.
• Causes: Often linked to weight gain, long-term use of certain medications (like corticosteroids), or underlying medical conditions such as Cushing’s syndrome.

Procedure

At Skin Medics UK, we use local anaesthesia for Liposuction. You will be awake during the whole surgery after a diluted local anaesthetic is injected into the treatment region and therefore will not feel any pain or discomfort. The surgeon will use small incisions to remove the extra fat from the area.
