Buffalo hump removal costs? (Photo)

If this was the only surgery we do, it can be done with numbing agents and pain meds no need for anesthesia. That would keep cost down. Definitely under 5k, there would be minimal down time for recovery. Within a couple days usually ok to return to work

Dear oandlomom,
the cost of surgery depends on a lot of factors (type of surgery, number of treated areas, anesthesia fee, surgeon, facility fee, city, etc.). It would be the best to visit or call plastic surgery offices and ask for a price.

the cost will vary on location and if done under general anesthesia or as awake, done under local anesthesia with oral sedation. Please find a plastic surgeon in your area to discuss this.

Thank you for your question and for sharing your photos. I would need to examine you to best answer your question. This could represent fatty tissue or could be a lipoma (a non-cancerous fatty tumor), which could be addressed with liposuction. If it is a lipoma, I perform lipoma removal using a minimal-scar technique through a small incision. I recommend you speak with a fully-trained plastic surgeon who can examine you and discuss treatment options. Good luck!

Buffalo hump reduction is a common request. Cost typically depends on the type of liposuction used and if combined with skin tightening modalities.Because fat in this area is typically firm and fibrous, I usually recommend the use of Vaser or ultrasound assisted liposuction, which can range from $2000-4000, depending on several factors.Speak with a boar-certified plastic surgeon to see what modality would be best for you.

Buffalo humps can usually be removed with liposuction. Personally I use standard or power assisted liposuction. I do not use laser lipo, Vaser, ultrasonic, water jet or radiofrequency. Standard liposuction is usually very effective. The cost will vary with if you have it done under a local or general anaesthetic.I advise you to enquire of a suitably qualified and experienced plastic surgeon in your area what it would cost to have it treated with liposuction. From your picture I can not advise you on the amount of liposcution but typical amounts from a Buffalo hump would be of the order of 400 mls / cc. Clearly some people will have rather more others rather less removed.You will also need an in person clinical assessment to determine if this is the right treatment for you.Best wishes.

Based on in clothed photos lipo only for buffalo hump under local anesthesia in Miami from $3,000. If add light general anesthesia fee $4,000. Best to do a virtual consult with....

This area is usually very fibrous, but removed with standard liposuction techniques. It requires one or two small incisions on the upper back and takes around one hour. Usual costs vary from state to state and from physician to physician. It may start as low as $4000.

This can be treated with awake liposuction with a fast recovery, Costs will vary but may be $4000 to $5000.

Reducing the dorsocervical fat pad responds well to Liposuction, and it’s a straightforward, fairly easy procedure. Most patients who have this have both a spinal and subcutaneous fat component. For most patients, reducing the subcutaneous fat sufficiently gives enough improvements, the patients are generally pleased with the results.
The procedure is fairly easy and straightforward. We can definitely be done as an in office local anesthesia procedure with or without sedation, though some surgeons may prefer to use general anesthesia or deep sedation.
Prices for single areas of Liposuction will vary greatly depending on who you choose as your provider. Price is also very based on geographic locations.
This website has excellent references to actual costs patients paid for various procedures. Go to the website and click on Liposuction then there should be a tab labeled cost from there. You should be able to dial in your geographic location and see what other people have paid. Liposuction is usually charged based on the area being treated. There may also be associated anesthesia and facility fees.
Prices may vary significantly and sodas, skills, and experience. Even though treating the dorsocervical, fat pad is one of the most straightforward and easier areas to treat with Liposuction as a general statement, Liposuction results vary greatly in regards to skill and experience, including among providers who have all the correct credentials with board certification, and plastic surgery, years of experience, and an overall good reputation. I suggest any patient interested in having Liposuction schedule multiple in person consultations. This will help you get a better assessment and begin vetting for the right provider. You also get you a chance to please compare among different providers.
Having the procedure done in a formal operating room under general anesthesia significant cost to the procedure. Doing Liposuction was patient awake is a skill that requires experience in order to not leave patients in undue discomfort.
During each consultation, ask each provider to open up their portfolio and show you their entire collection of before and after pictures of previous patients who had dorsocervical fat pad reduction with Liposuction. While this area is not common area to have treated, it is certainly not uncommon. As a general statement I have to “that an experience plastic surgeon should have no difficulty showing you the before and after pictures of at least 50 previous patients. This is definitely true for common areas like the abdomen or torso, but The incidence of treating dorsocervical fat pad is a small percentage compared to treating abdominous for example. Being shown a handful of pre-selected images of representing the best results of a provider’s career may be insufficient to get a clear understanding of what average results look like. All of this being said, I will say that this is a fairly straightforward area that is more unlike to end up with contour issues or undesirable complications or poor outcomes then technically more difficult areas like the extremities.
That said, there are significant variations in the fact that somebody’s board-certified plastic surgery with years of experience does not mean that they have mastered anyone single procedure like Liposuction.
Generally, speaking, delivering consistent quality in Liposuction, Resort is more difficult than most people realize.
Depending on where you live, I would guess that a single area of Liposuction can cost anywhere from $1500-$5000+. On top of that facility fees may be anywhere from a few hundred dollars for an in office procedure to $1500+ for an operating room with an anesthesiologist.
