A cosmetic surgery clinic has seen a 300 percent increase in patients going under the knife to have a ‘buffalo hump’ removed. The condition sees sufferers develop a fatty deposit behind the neck, on top of the shoulders, and can leave some people feeling self-conscious.
And bosses at cosmetic surgery experts Signature Clinic revealed they have seen a rise in the number of people having liposuction to resolve the problem. Dr. Ahmed Alsayed, Lead Surgeon of Signature Clinic, said: “A buffalo hump is not necessarily a serious condition but many sufferers tell us it affects their self-confidence, which clothes they can wear and how they feel in public.
“It can be caused by factors such as obesity, osteoporosis, poor posture, long-term steroid use or as a side effect of some medications.
