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

Most often surgery or liposuction is best here.  Thermi works great in combination.  This is genetic and adding some fat to the buttock above to lift it also helps.  Please find an experienced physician for treatment.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Nonsurgical freezing of the fat is a nonsurgical alternative. The problem it is fairly inefficient and relatively expensive.

Lee E. Corbett, MD · Answer

Non surgical options include weight loss, squats, lunges, step ups. Cardio alone will not do it. Weight loss is the single best option though. Now, if you will consider surgery, liposuction is the easiest method to improve this area.

The best and least invasive way to treat the banana rolls is with liposuction. You should obtain a consultation from a board certified plastic surgeon and discuss the options.

Your best option would be liposuction of the area which can be done comfortably in less than 45 minutes with you awake. See link below for examples.

Unfortunately, dieting may or may not improve them. Liposuction may be a solution, but I would be very conservative.

The banana roll is one of the most commonly misunderstood and atomic areas and aesthetic surgery.Well it may be perceived as a fat condition the true reason to fold exists is because of skin attachments. The skin and certain parts of her body tends to fold up while we hold certain positions.For example many women Will have their back skin create a folder with their arm and I down position.This is not because there is a roll of fat there but rather a skin attachment on the mid back.As the arm drops the skin drops as well but only to the point of skin attachment and the fold is created.The same is true of the banana roll. The opposite is true with this area however.When we stand up straight the skin on the upper back of the thigh and lower buttocks is pushed together. this causes the skin to bulge creating the banana roll. To demonstrate this I often have patients lean forward just even slightly to show them that the Banana roll goes away. The most accurate way to assess the thickness of subcutaneous fat is to gently put the skin at slight tension  and push straight in until we touch or muscle layer. Lean forward just slightly and then push against the skin on the banana roll and you will realize the layer of fat is much thinner than you think.Look in the mirror as you stand up straight and noticed how the fold is again created. There is no non-surgical treatment for this.Unfortunately too many patients undergo liposuction for the treatment of the banana roll with disfiguring results.Since the inherent diagnoses or problem causing this roll is skin and not fat any fat removal procedure will generally fail.  in your case it sounds like you're not considering surgical intervention which is good since it will most likely leave you disappointed.Accept your body the way it is and continue focusing on overall good health with diet and exercise.Best,Mats Hagstrom M.D.

To treat this region and the saddlebags that are adjacent I would recommend that you consider undergoing liposuction. For the banana rolls it's important to only reduce the superficial fat and not to be aggressive or go deeply because this is the support structure for your buttocks.For patients who simply do not wish to undergo liposuction either under general or local anesthesia I would suggest as a possible alternative the use of ILipoXcell. This would require approximately 8 or 10 painless treatments but would probably not equal the results you could achieve with liposuction surgery.Best of luck with your choices.
