Will liposuction make my Buffalo Hump go away?

This is one area that responds well to liposuction no matter what technique your surgeon uses (traditional tumescent, VASER ultrasound, power assist, laser lipo). Remember, no matter what technique your surgeon promotes, they all use the tumescent technique for numbing and vasoconstriction.  It is not the tool, but the surgeon who makes the difference!

I love treating this area for many reasons.  It's easily performed under local anesthesia in the office; if there is fat in the area it's always responsive to advanced liposuction techniques; the results are immediate; the recovery is easy; the outcome is very satisfying for the patient and surgeon; and the costs are usually reasonable.  

Buffalo hump is most commonly seen as a side effect of steroid use. I have not heard it blamed for postural problems although it can create that appearance. I have successfully treated this under local with a multiple small cannula technique but I don't see why any other technique could be utilized. I would avoid ultrasound near the lower cervical or upper thoracic vertebrae.
