Benefits Of
Buffalo Hump Liposuction
Buffalo hump liposuction offers several benefits, including:
Permanent Fat Reduction
When the fat cells are removed, they don't grow back, which means that buffalo hump can be successfully managed for a long time if not permanently.
Improved Posture
By reducing the size of the hump, patients may experience improved posture and less strain on the neck and shoulders.
Increased Confidence
After treatment, many patients report feeling more comfortable in their appearance, as the hump no longer creates a disfuguring contour.
Minimally Invasive Procedure
Liposuction for buffalo hump is a minimally invasive outpatient procedure with minimal to no scarring, hence there is a quicker recovery compared to more invasive surgeries.
Customizable
Each and every procedure can be customized to meet the individual's needs, ensuring quality results.
Procedure
Details
Buffalo Hump Treatment with Liposuction is a straightforward process. Here’s a breakdown of the procedure:
Consultation and Planning
During the consultation, Dr. Grossman evaluates the patient's buffalo hump, reviews their medical history, and determines the best treatment approach. A detailed description of what to expect before, during, and after the procedure is also provided.
Anesthesia
On the day of the procedure, the patient is prepped, and anesthesia(local or in combination with sedation) is administered to ensure comfort throughout the treatment.
Liposuction Technique
Dr. Grossman makes a small, well hidden incision in the treatment area. For fat to be broken up and removed, a thin tube called a cannula is inserted. The liposuction technique ensures precise fat removal while protecting the surrounding tissues.
Post Procedure
After the fat is removed, the incision closes spontaneously, while No suturing is required. The entire procedure usually takes less than 1 hour.
Recovery
Patients can usually return home or work the same day. Resuming normal lifestyle is permitted in 3 days.
