Buffalo Hump Removal – Restore Your Natural Profile at Silur Clinic

    What Is a Buffalo Hump and What Is the Treatment For?

    A buffalo hump refers to a build-up of fat at the base of the neck or upper back, right between the shoulders. This localized fat deposit can cause both aesthetic and physical discomfort.

    Common Causes Include:

    • Hormonal imbalances (e.g., Cushing’s syndrome)
    • Long-term use of corticosteroids
    • Poor posture or spine misalignment
    • Excess body weight or genetics
    • Lipodystrophy (fat redistribution)

    Buffalo hump removal is often sought for medical relief and aesthetic improvement, helping patients regain proper posture, reduce discomfort, and restore confidence in their appearance.


    Buffalo Hump Treatment at Silur Clinic

    At Silur Clinic, we use targeted liposuction techniques to safely remove the fat deposit and contour the upper back and neck area, resulting in a smoother, more defined silhouette.


    Before the Procedure

    • Health Evaluation
      • Routine blood tests and, if needed, imaging (ultrasound or MRI)
    • Pre-op Instructions
