Which Would Have the Best Result with my Buffalo Hump: Liposuction, liposculpture, or Vaser Liposculpture? (photo)

Power canulas or PAL are like jackhammers pounding that fibrous tissue to get the fat and fibrous tissue out of buffalo humps. It is effective and easy to undergo under local tumescent anesthesia but don't waste your money on lasers or ultrasound lipos since they don't touch fibrous tissue fat deposits. Also in other areas, if you've had lipo  before or had a tummy tuck, then you have most likely some or alot of fibrous tissue with the fat so you need PAL to break it up and remove it -not laser or ultrasound or freezing etc...Sincerely,

Thank you for your question. Based on your photo you appear to be a good candidate for this procedure. I would suggest to be treated by board certified plastic surgeon with experience in this procedure, to get the best desired results.
Kind regards,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

The most important thing here is to consult with a highly skilled and experienced surgeon, more so that equipment being used. Anyone of these options can give excellent result in the right hands (liposuction, vaser, PAL).

In good experienced  hands you should have a good result
with either PAL or Vaser. Traditional (SAL) liposuction  may not be able to break through the fibrous attachments. Best wishes.

hello theyellow I have researched and used most laser and body contouring devices and have chosen to use Vaser to provide my patients with the safest treatment and most consistent excellent result. #options #post-op

Vaser is the best liposuction treatment for this area and should be done with expertise.  Best, Dr. Emer.

The only incisions that you would need would the access points for traditional liposuction.  Performed by an experienced surgeon you should have na excellent result.

This is easily correctable.  I recommend laser lipo with power assisted liposuction.  I prefer Smart Lipo and NIL since it works the best and is the most comfortable.  Your hump can be easily removed under local anesthesia with light oral sedation.  There should be only one incision and it's no bigger than 2 mm.  

     Although these humps are harder to suction, conventional liposuction or power assisted liposuction is appropriate to remove this.  I have done this for lipodystrophy in many different scenarios due to many different medical conditions.  Find the plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of liposuction procedures each year.  Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Thank thank you for your inquiry. The structure is shown on your photograph what is consistent with a a lipoma with dense fibrous connective tissue. The Vaser and Smart lipo laser liposuction provide adequate aggressive treatment this collection of fat to flatten the area. I have been able to help many patients with this condition.
