Protocol overview
A targeted lipolysis reference for dorsocervical fat pad (buffalo hump) reduction. Covers marking, depth considerations for a thicker fat zone, and conservative session planning.
Step-by-step protocol
1
Assess & Mark
With the client seated or standing, palpate the dorsocervical fat pad. Mark the outer boundary of the palpable fat deposit. Confirm subcutaneous fat presence and document baseline with photos.
2
Prep & Comfort
Cleanse and disinfect. If using topical anaesthetic (e.g., NeoCain), apply under occlusion for 15–30 minutes, then remove completely and disinfect again before injections.
3
Shake & Draw
Shake vials vigorously before drawing to support even suspension.
4
Inject (Deep Subcutaneous)
Use a needle long enough to reach deep subcutaneous fat at 5–15 mm depth. Reference range: ~0.2–0.5 mL per point, spaced ~0.5 cm apart. Total volume: ~15 mL per session. The buffalo hump is a thicker deposit—deeper needle placement may be needed compared to facial zones.
5
Aftercare & Cadence
Expect significant swelling in the first 48–72 hours. Avoid heat/saunas and intense exercise. Light massage may help with comfort per professional guidance. Reference course: 5 sessions at 2–4 week intervals.
