Scapular Fat Bulge
Description
A scapular fat bulge, often referred to as a buffalo hump, dorsocervical fat pad, bra bulge, or upper back fat, is a noticeable accumulation of fatty tissue over and around the shoulder blades. This localized fat deposit may develop at the back of the neck or between the shoulder blades, creating a visible lump or roll that can affect posture, clothing fit, and self-confidence. While scapular fat bulges are sometimes simply due to genetics or weight changes, they can also signal hormone imbalances, medication side effects, or underlying health concerns. Many people also call this concern “bra line bulge” or “back fat,” especially when the excess fat appears around the upper back or bra strap area. If not linked to a medical condition, stubborn fat in this region often does not respond well to diet and exercise, leading some to consider advanced cosmetic solutions like liposuction or non-invasive treatments. Early recognition and proper evaluation are important to address both the physical and emotional impacts of a scapular fat bulge and to ensure safe, effective treatment.
