What is the best treatment for banana rolls? (Photos)

Question

What is the best treatment for these, is there a treatment? They give me no end of frustration.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

The best way to improve this is with a high definition procedure like VASER liposuction. I use VASER with ThermiRF and fat grafting to get the most fat removal, but also provide lift for the butt and improve the shape. Sometimes non invasive options such as sculptra, ultherapy, PDO threads or renuva adipose matrix can help give improvement. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a high definition physique expert.  Best, Dr. Emer.

These can be excised through an incision underneath the buttocks.Liposuction of those areas by an experienced board certified plastic surgeon may be appropriate.  This can be coupled with InMode RFAL skin tightening.

Treatment is a combination of liposuction and later on a possible skin excision if the roll persists and bothers you. Meet with American board of plastic surgery certified surgeons to discuss further. Best

I have done the following for theseLiposuction with improvement, but not necessarily perfection. We dont sculpt from the outside or have a way to iron the skin.Kybella, off label, as a non surgical treatment may also help. It may take several treatments.Thermage, or other radiofrequency in conjunction with either of the above, might improve the results.Get an opinion from a board certified plastic surgeon.

Thank you for your question. Conservative liposuction to banana rolls will help. Please consult with a board certified PS for evaluation and to discuss your goals.

Douglas Leppink, MD · Answer

What is described as a "Banana Roll" is an accumulation of fat below the buttock on the posterior thigh. Generally liposuction results in an excellent improvement in this localized fat deposit. Very rarely is skin resection necessary, which can leave a visible scar when bending over in a swimsuit or underwear. Again, liposuction generally can solve this problem. Please speak to a board-certified Plastic Surgeon to discuss your options!

Liposuction may help. It can be done with a local anesthetic in the office in a short period of time.
