Lasting Dorsocervical Fat Pad Reduction

Buffalo Hump Fat Removal

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 tends to develop due to reasons outside our control, like genetics or medical conditions. Many traditional fat removal procedures that seem like viable buffalo hump solutions use manual methods that require large incisions to access subcutaneous fat. Buffalo hump fat removal with AirSculpt® uses advanced tools that remove excess neck fat with a delicate plucking motion. Everything is done through a two-millimeter wide entry point, and in addition to fat removal, this treatment provides help with skin tightening too.
