Based on esthetic subunits, we proposed TARD (tumescent anesthesia, sharp cannula release and multi-port liposuction cannula aspiration for debulking) as a minimally invasive technique designed to reshape the dorsocervical contour. Forty-five patients with buffalo hump underwent the TARD from March 2022 to May 2024. Outcomes were assessed independently using a 4-point scale at 8-month follow-up. Treatment achieved favorable outcomes in 91.1% of cases (good: 44.4%; excellent: 46.7%), with mean scores of 2.4 ± 0.7. Transient numbness (26.7%) resolved within 6 months. No infection, hematoma or revision was recorded. TARD is particularly effective for fibrosis-rich dorsocervical humps, offering the advantages including minimal scars and rapid recovery. These findings establish TARD as an innovative and effective treatment method for mild to moderate fibrofatty dorsocervical hump.Level of Evidence IV This journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article.

The combination of RFM with agents like poly-L-lactic acid, polynucleotides, platelet-rich plasma and trichloroacetic acid further enhances treatment outcomes, promoting collagen synthesis and skin repair. The outcome assessment used to assess the efficacy and safety of RFM treatment were concluded, which were categorized into subjective (patient satisfaction) and objective (clinical evaluations) measures, provide a comprehensive understanding of efficacy and guide personalized treatment strategies.
