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.

Answer: Lipo is an option. 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.

Answer: Banana roll and liposuction
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.
