Buffalo Hump Removal Procedure

Buffalo hump removal surgery is predominantly accomplished through liposuction.

Buffalo Hump Removal FAQs

The type of anaesthesia used for buffalo hump removal depends on the specific liposuction technique being applied. In some cases, a general anaesthetic is required; in other instances, a local anaesthetic may be sufficient.

Buffalo hump removal is not a painful procedure. Before we begin, we administer either anaesthetic or sedation, ensuring that you remain comfortable and pain-free throughout the surgery.

As with any surgical procedure, there are risks associated with hump removal. These include a small risk of infection, seroma, irregularities in the skin surface, and potential skin laxity. Our team takes every precaution to minimise these risks.

Following buffalo hump removal, any skin laxity typically contracts and tightens over time. If excess skin persists, additional procedures such as targeted BodyTite may be considered.

The results of hump removal are permanent. The fat cells that are removed during the procedure are gone for good and won’t regenerate in the same area.

The likelihood of your buffalo hump returning is minimal, especially if you maintain a stable weight after the procedure.
