  1. My middle sister had that.  She had her's removed.  It was a simple day surgery procedure. It's a collection of fat tissue that cab easily be removed via a liposuction type procedure.

It would be worthwhile to see if this is just a fat deposit or a bone problem.  Different solutions.

If you haven't already, look into Cushings disease due to high cortisol levels.  I too have the fat pad (which is what they are now calling it) and my cortisol levels are through the roof from a pituitary tumor.  Good luck to you.

I've never heard the term "buffalo hump" before.

I would not even notice that on someone.

Re: Cover women's buffalo hump

I watch too much "Dr Pimple Popper".... That bump might be a lypoma (sp?) which can be removed in a simple day surgery. My husband had a bump like that and on the same area of his back 3 yrs ago. He had it removed at the doctor's office. No recovery time and it hasn't returned.

Otherwise, your bump really isn't that noticeable.
