Can lipo help with banana roll deformity? (Photo)

Sunshine,

I think that you can see from your responses is that plastic surgery is beneficial in most cases but when applied to certain areas it can be problematic.  This the case of liposuction and the "banana roll".  Keep pressing on with your healthy lifestyle.

Thank you for your question. Based on your photo you appear to be a good candidate for this procedure. I would suggest to be treated by board certified plastic surgeon with experience in this procedure, to get the best desired results.

Reducing your banana rolls, posterior upper thigh excess fat, if done properly and conservatively should give you improvement without making your buttocks drop.

When patients present with
banana rolls, liposuction is a great treatment option.It’s associated with excellent clinical
results and high levels of patient satisfaction. It’s
also important to say that the procedure should be approached with caution to
avoid secondary complications.When
overly aggressive liposuction is performed, sag of the buttock can result.This is arguably a much more significant
aesthetic deformity than the banana roll it self.If
you’re considering liposuction of your banana-roll area, it’s important to
consult a Board-Certified plastic surgeon with experience in this area.This surgeon should be able to formulate a
treatment plan that addresses your anatomic findings and achieves your
aesthetic goals.

liposuction, regardless of what type, conventional tumescent or smart liposuction, can exacerbate the extra roll by reducing the infragluteal support of the buttock. Some times it is worth considering conservative fat injections into the lower crease to smoothen the area, but this has its risks too, such as over correction, worsening of the asymmetry, ,infection and others.
