Buffalo hump removal, looking for the right doctor!

Question

I'm specifically looking for a surgeon who has done several surgeries for buffalo hump removal. I would also get other area done. I'm based in Alberta Canada but I can travel if I can find an experienced doctor.

Thank you for your question. Treating the buffalo hump is commonly done by liposuction. However, if this is a recurrent concern for you, then you may want to consider surgery to excise it as well.

Justin Yovino, MD, FACS · Answer

In the correct surgical hands, the Buffalo Hump is very easily removed with laser-assisted power-assisted liposuction techniques. I have performed this procedure many times and it's always very rewarding and successful. It's performed in the office, only one 2 mm incision required, under local anesthesia, no labs required, typically no medical clearance needed, and practically no downtime.

This should be easy for a well trained liposuction surgeon.  Actually this was one of the first areas I did, as most of my patients were HIV postivie when I first started (9 years ago) and my clinic treated this every day.  Best, Dr. Emer.

David Hansen, MD · Answer

Liposuction of the buffalo hump is an easy procedure to undergo under local with no stitches and almost no downtime.

Gabriel Chiu, DO · Answer

The typical buffalo hump is composed of fibrous fat on the posterior base of the neck. It commonly develops from use of certain medications, most commonly corticosteroids. Liposuction works very well to correct the buffalo hump deformity. Due to the fibrous nature of the fat, I recommend power-assisted liposuction with smaller cannulas.
