Cost to remove Buffalo Hump? (Photo)

Hi, thank you for your question. Congratulations on being cancer free! Removal of your buffalo hump is very straightforward under general anesthesia. In the New York area, board certified plastic surgeons will likely charge $4k-$6k depending on their level of expertise and availability. This is the kind of procedure that I advise my patients to have on a Friday so they can be back at work on Monday. There's more on the recovery process in the video included below. Hope this helps!

PAL liposuction is the way to go under local but needs to be done aggressively to get it done right since it is very fibrous and whimpy lipo just won't do anything. Cost is roughly $5000 for quality work.

Hello and thank you for your question.  The
best advice you can receive is from an in-person consultation.  Based on
your photograph, you may benefit from upper back liposuction.  Cost varies based on geographic region and surgeon expertise.  This decision should
be based on a detailed discussion with equal input from both you
and your surgeon.   Make sure you specifically look
at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery
performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results.   The most
important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend
that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who
can evaluate you in person.
Best wishes and good luck.
