I am considering this procedure in addition to chin liposuction. As ive gotten older in combination with larger breasts, the buffalo hump and bad posture my spine has curved a bit- the hump is there when i straighten my back and when you feel it you can feel tissue but you can also feel my bone. My concern is does this put me at a risk for injury to my spine? is it possible to hit my bone while performing the liposuction and god forbid cause paralysis or something? thank you!
Answer: Buffalo Hump Reduction This is a common and quick procedure that is almost always performed under local anesthesia with light sedation. In this setting it is very safe and the risk for spinal injury is close to 0% since you are able to communicate with the surgeon about comfort level.

Answer: Is Liposuction of the Buffalo Hump Dangerous? To the extent there is prominence of the upper back that is actually composed of fat, that area can be suctioned the same as any other area of excess fat. The question is would it do any good since the curvature of the spine is causing most of the appearance problem.An in person-exam with a board-certified plastic surgeon is the best way to evaluate your particular situation and anatomy to see if liposuction makes any sense in this area for you.Non-surgical, non-invasive methods off fat reduction are now available for smaller areas of excess fat, e.g. SculpSure.

Answer: Liposuction of the 'buffalo hump' is a safe procedure when performed by an experienced Plastic Surgeon Liposuction of the Buffalo Hump is a safe procedure when performed by an experienced plastic surgeon. If you do have excess fat in that area, it can certainly be liposuctioned. It is important to make sure that the 'hump' is because of excessive fat an not your posture which will not benefit from the liposuction.
