What is the buffalo hump? 

It is a term used to describe fat buildup that manifests as a hump at the base of the neck and upper back. 

Buffalo hump also known as the dowager’s hump or cervicodorsal fat pad. Changes in fat distribution caused by specific medical illnesses, such as Cushing’s syndrome or long-term corticosteroid use, are usually associated with this disorder.

By this the excess fat is removed from the area by using a device that sucks fat cells.

sometimes surgery is performed in which only fibrous cells are treated.

when the problem is not that serious some amendments in lifestyle can fix this problem.

  1. Physical therapy: 

in this only exercises are performed to tighten and straighten the muscles to get them back to their original place.

  1. Injectable Treatments:

 in this detoxifying acids are inserted in the treated area of the body to kill or eliminate fat cells.

In this treatment, the area from which fats have to be removed is frozen and then that part is removed.
