Buffalo hump liposuction - how many ccs of fat can be removed?

Hi Eryka6,
Answering this question really centers on how large the fatty accumulation is in the lower posterior neck area ('buffalo hump') for the individual patient. Typically, I will remove 150 - 350 cc's of lipoaspirate from this area, of which approximately half is fat. Obviously, the larger the amount of fat accumulation, the greater volume that we can remove. In this area, even a small volume of liposuction can have a significant impact on a patient's appearance.
Sincerely,Dr. Smith

Dear Eryka6,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination because not every buffalo hump is the same. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.
