What Is a buffalo hump?

A buffalo hump is a localized fat deposit at the base of the neck, just above the shoulders, often referred to as a dorsal fat pad. It forms a visible bulge that can affect your posture, neck comfort, and overall silhouette. While it is usually harmless, this fat accumulation may cause tension, aesthetic concern, or discomfort during daily activities.

This condition usually develops in adulthood, affecting both men and women, and may be linked to hormonal imbalances, aging, excess weight, or menopause.

Causes of buffalo hump

Several factors contribute to the formation of a buffalo hump:

Buffalo Hump vs. Kyphosis: How to differentiate?

Although both conditions affect the upper back, it's important to understand that a buffalo hump is caused by excess fat, whereas kyphosis involves structural changes in the spine. Recognizing the differences ensures you can pursue the most effective treatment for comfort and posture.

CharacteristicBuffalo humpKyphosis
DefinitionLocalized fat accumulation at the base of the neck, forming a noticeable bulge.Spine deformation causing a rounded or hunched back.
Main causesHormonal imbalance, aging, excess weight, menopause.Poor posture, congenital or degenerative spinal issues.
AppearanceFirm, rounded protrusion behind shoulders.Rounded or hunched thoracic spine.
Pain / DiscomfortNeck tension, aesthetic concern.Back pain, stiffness, fatigue.
TreatmentTargeted liposuction, cosmetic reshaping, and hormone therapy if needed.Physical therapy, orthopedic devices, and surgery if necessary
Affected populationAdults, more common after 40.All ages, depending on the cause.
Progression if untreatedCan worsen, causing chronic neck pain.May worsen with age, affecting posture and breathing.

Understanding the distinction helps doctors tailor interventions, whether surgical, medical, or lifestyle-based, for optimal neck and back health.

When and why you should seek medical advice in Turkey?

A buffalo hump can form gradually, sometimes becoming noticeable even if your weight remains stable. If you observe a protrusion behind your neck that causes discomfort, whether aesthetic or physical, it is crucial to consult a specialist. In Turkey, this usually involves a plastic surgeon experienced in liposuction or an endocrinologist to evaluate any potential hormonal factors contributing to the fat accumulation.

Pay attention to persistent neck pain, tension, or discomfort during movement, as these are warning signs that should not be ignored. If left untreated, these symptoms may worsen over time, potentially affecting your posture, mobility, and overall quality of life.

Seeking early assessment also addresses aesthetic concerns. If your goal is to restore a natural, harmonious neck profile and regain self-confidence, a precise and personalized diagnosis is key. Specialists can determine the most effective approach, whether surgical liposuction, hormonal management, or a combination of treatments—tailored to your individual needs.

With Turquie Santé, you receive full support at every stage: from the initial consultation, through the procedure, and during post-operative follow-up. Our expert teams ensure that your treatment is safe, effective, and customized for the best possible results.

Book an appointment today for a personalized assessment and discover the ideal solution to regain both comfort and confidence in your neck appearance.

How is a buffalo hump diagnosed in Turkey?

In Turkey, diagnosing a buffalo hump starts with a thorough medical evaluation. A specialist will review your medical history, current medications, and perform a detailed physical examination to assess the size, location, and firmness of the hump.

Depending on the suspected cause, additional tests may include:

These steps allow specialists to determine the underlying cause and recommend the most effective treatment.

How is buffalo hump liposuction performed in Turkey?

Buffalo hump liposuction is a safe and effective procedure designed to restore a natural, balanced neck profile. In Turkey, the process is carried out in several key stages:

Initial consultation

Your journey begins with a complete medical and hormonal assessment, followed by a detailed examination of the cervical-dorsal area. The surgeon listens carefully to your concerns and creates a personalized treatment plan.

During this step, you will receive:

The surgical procedure

The operation focuses on targeted liposuction to remove the fat deposits responsible for the hump. It is performed under local or general anesthesia (depending on your case) and usually lasts 1 to 2 hours.
Using fine cannulas, the surgeon sculpts the neck to achieve a sleek, natural contour, all with minimal scars that remain virtually invisible.

Post-operative care & recovery

Recovery is generally quick. Most patients resume light activities within 48 hours, while strenuous exercise should be avoided for about 4 weeks.
During recovery, it's common to notice:

Temporary bruising and mild swelling.

Moderate sensitivity in the treated area, manageable with medication.

Results & follow-up

The first visible changes usually appear from the second week onward and continue to improve over time. Within a few months, the neck regains a harmonious, refined shape.
Your surgeon, together with our Turquie Santé local teams, provides close post-operative follow-up to ensure safe healing and long-lasting, natural results.

Frequently asked questions

No, you can't get rid of a buffalo hump unless you undergo surgery. Liposuction is the only solution for reshaping the nape of the neck.

A buffalo hump is typically a buildup of fatty tissue on the upper back or neck. However, it is not always fat; it can also be caused by poor posture, certain medications, or medical conditions affecting the spine or muscles.

To improve results following lipoma treatment, your surgeon may recommend physiotherapy sessions. Afterward, massages will help eliminate swelling and soften the treated area.

Bison hump can generally be accompanied by endocrine disorders such as :

  • High blood sugar levels
  • Frequent urination
  • High blood pressure

A hump behind the shoulders may also be associated with a weakening of the bones (osteoporosis).

Removal of the hump is a definitive treatment with no risk of recurrence. The only exception is in the case of very significant weight gain.
