Hi there. It is becoming increasingly difficult to get procedures such as Buffalo Hump removal funded on the NHS even though it may well be symptomatic or having a functional impact. It may be worth asking your GP to apply for specialist funding - it is issued on a case by case basis - and also to confirm the diagnosis! Good luck!
Buffalo humps can often be treated with surprising effectiveness using liposuction alone. While many different types of lipo have been proposed for use in this condition, even traditional superwet lipo can work well. You should of course be examined by a board-certified plastic surgeon for a full assessment.Whether or not it is "covered" by insurance will depend on the specifics of your policy. In general, though, lipo is not normally a procedure that is covered by insurance.I hope that this helps and good luck,Dr. Alan EnglerMember of #RealSelf100
