Approximately how much does it cost to get buffalo hump removed? (Photos)

Question

I'm 20 years old and I am really self concious about my buffalo hump and wanted to know what options do I have and the cost.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

Cost will vary due to skills, technique and expertise. For best results in removing a buffalo hump, I recommend a hi definition procedure like VASER liposuction. I use VASER HI DEF with ThermiRF to get the smoothest result. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a hi definition physique expert. Best, Dr. Emer

It is very easy under local tum. to get that buffalo hump reduced with almost no down time for roughly $4500.

Anthony A. Admire, MD, FACS · Answer

My first question would be to determine what caused this. Have you had it a long time? What caused it? There are some conditions, such as taking high dose steriods for certain medical conditions that can cause this hump. I would get an imaging study to confirm it's fatty tissue, as well as a biopsy first to make sure it's not serious (a malignancy). If all of those questions can be answered and it's either a lipoma (benign) or just a fatty collection that's not encapsulated, then it can be removed either directly (incise the skin and remove in one piece, or liposuctioned out. If it's a lipoma, it might be covered under your insurance. If not, then the out of pocket costs would vary.

Dear monicaelizarras,the cost of surgery depends on a lot of factors (type of surgery, type of anesthesia, surgeon, facility fee, city, etc.). It would be the best to visit a few plastic surgery offices to get the projected cost.Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS
