Can lipo help with banana roll deformity? (Photo)

sunshine26
I'm 5'5, work out 4-5 days a week and have always been active. I’ve developed a banana roll on my right leg–this fat pocket is located on the right upper posterior thigh, below the gluteal crease. Despite how clean I eat and exercise to “spot treat” the area, this fat pocket is not going away. I’ve never had liposuction before, so is that procedure an option? If so, how can I avoid contour irregularities and get a decent result? I know the banana roll is not an easy area to treat.
