The Banana Roll can be improved quite easily under local anesthesia with microcanulas.

The banana roll can be improved quite easily under local anesthesia with the micro canulas for about $2500 or $4500 if the saddle bags are included.  You are back to work in 2 days.  Sincerely, David Hansen,MD

Liposuction for "The Banana Roll."

Correction of the excess fat on the upper posterior thigh (i.e. banana roll) is tricky. However, frequently liposuction is quite successful in addressing this area. Occasionally patients will have very lax skin in this area and will require open excisional contouring in order to achieve a fantastic aesthetic outcome. Make sure that you go to a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who is comfortable with both of these techniques.

Treatment of "banana rolls"

Thank you for the question. It is not possible to give good advice without direct examination.

Most patients I see for treatment of this area, I steer away from surgical procedures. BE CAREFUL!

Just make sure that the punishment fits the crime.

Hi Vanessa Be aware that liposuction can affectively reduce the banana roll.  However, it is more difficult to know in advance how this procedure will affect the appearance of the gluteal fold or crease.  Occasionally this surgery can cause the crease to extend to the lateral thigh.  Will this make you happy or unhappy?   Often I find that for some women whose sole concern really is the banana roll, they have an over exaggerated concern about this issue.... more
