Buffalo Hump Treatment
Removal of the dorsocervical fat pad at the base of the neck, which can improve posture and relieve strain on the neck and shoulders.
Buffalo hump removal and liposuction in NYC with Dr. Leonard Grossman targets the stubborn fat pad between the shoulders at the base of the neck. The procedure usually takes less than an hour under local anesthesia, needs no stitches or compression garments, and most patients return home or to work the same day. Fat cells removed by liposuction do not come back, so the smoother upper-back contour is permanent.

Buffalo hump removal with Dr. Leonard Grossman is a short outpatient procedure. Under local anesthesia, with sedation if you prefer, he removes the fat pad through a small hidden incision using a thin cannula, and the incision closes without stitches, keeping scarring minimal and well hidden. Because fat cells removed by liposuction cannot return, the result is permanent; keeping a stable weight helps the new contour stay smooth. Dr. Grossman aims for a natural-looking, outstanding result that blends smoothly into your neck and shoulders.

Fees for buffalo hump removal vary widely by location and by the hump itself, so Dr. Grossman quotes it individually after examining the size of the fat pad and whether nearby areas such as the neck should be treated too. His quote accounts for the surgeon’s fee, anesthesia, the operating facility, the ancillary staff and each follow-up exam you need, and since the procedure is outpatient, no hospital stay is involved. Financing options are available.
