Thank you all for your perspectives. No, the Dr. was not a "Board Certified Plastic Surgeon", he is a dr. who practices "alternative" medicine. I was not sent for an MRI to evaluate the mass. What would an MRI show? Does someone have to be a "Board Certified Plastic Surgeon" to perform this procedure???
I hope that the lipodissolve didn't complicate the liposuction by making it more fibrous. Have you found that buffalo humps are usually this "fibrous" and difficult to remove?
I don't like the thought of surgery and having a scar by excising it. I'd like to try liposuction again. Would you think this wise?
I was researching it online, and read on "The Hunstad-Kortesis Center for Cosmetic Plastic Surgery", and they stated "the buffalo hump is composed of a fibrous subcutaneous fatty tissue...it can be successfully treated. A very thorough liposuction of this region can significantly reduce the excess fat from this region...The most commonly used modalities are ultrasonic liposuction, laser-assisted liposuction, smart-lipo, tumescent liposuction, and power-assisted liposuction". They seem to know what they are talking about. However, they are in NC and I am in NJ.
I am anxious to have this thing removed. It hurts and is unsightly. I would sincerely appreciate any additional insights/guidance.
