After having a Banana roll removed there is little difference between my hamstring and glut. Did I need to have contouring done?

I'm sorry that you have a contour issue after liposuction. The banana role is an area that should never have surgical intervention. Unfortunately now is difficult to re-create a distinction between your buttocks and thighs.Photos would be helpful.Earl Stephenson, Jr, MD, DDS, FACS

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

Basically the area below the gluteal crease on the back of the leg provides support for the buttock above and thus it should not be suctioned or else a contour deformity can occur. It is exceedingly difficult to fix as well. The reason this area bulges ("bannana roll") is usually due to weight gain in the buttock above which in turn pushes down causing the bulge. The best results for this issue are not surgical and are best obtained by reaching ideal body weight. This would be the best option as well to get an improvement in this area now, even after surgery, as less subcutaneous fat would likely be better in terms of getting a better contour.

Dear Eastside, it is difficult to tell without pre-and postoperative photographs. I am not sure of the time interval since your surgery. I would give at least 8 to 12 weeks before looking at the area critically in terms of contour and shape. I would certainly discuss my concerns with the plastic surgeon who performed my procedure. Best wishes

Without seeing photos, I can not say what you have or what may be wrong. Please post some photos. Good luck.
