I had lipo 3 days ago on my banana roll. Scared about butt drop?

A butt drop after liposuction of this area is a possible complication.

It is definitely too soon for you to worry about it as the final result will take 6 months.

I am sure that your surgeon is aware of the risk and would have taken all the possible measures for this not to happen to you.  Usually a superficial liposuction of the area without going to deep with the cannula can reduce significantly the risk.

Bananarolls are usually excess skin. It is unlikely your butt will drop asthe swelling goes down. It will take up to 6 months to see your finalresult. If, at that time, you are not happy, please see an expertfor revision. Fat grafting and ThermiRF could help this if you are not happy. I would suggest sculptra injections and RF treatments like exilis at this time (see my IG).  Best, Dr. Emer

Butt drop can be a reality after liposuction of the banana roll.  This is usually not completely evident until the swelling has resolved.  But, don't lose sleep over the issue, follow up with your physician to put your mind at ease.

Thank you for your question.  My strong advice is to wait a full 4-6 months before considering a final surgical result. Most definitely, you are still swollen 3 days post procedure.  I wish you best of luck.

3 days out of liposuction surgery is too early to tell or see your final results.  Be patient and remember to follow the post operative instruction given to you by your surgeon.

Congratulations on your surgery.  You are very early in your recovery and at this stage it is difficult to determine your final results.  Try to be patient and follow your surgeon's advice for post operative care to help you achieve optimum results.

The banana role as the skinfold that forms when patients stand up right as the skin on the upper back of the thigh is pushed together.

When patients lean forward just slightly the roll goes away indicating that it's not excess fat but bunched up skin.

Because the banana roll it's usually caused by excess skin and often does not respond well to liposuction.

If you don't have a butt drop now then it's unlikely you will have one later.

More commonly patients simply fail to see impressive results after this procedure.

Hopefully you're the exception and you will achieve the results you were looking for.
