I am a 29 year old female, 5'7, 137 Ibs. I exercise moderately and can still not get rid fat on the back of my leg. I have heard lipo in that area can be very risky, because removing fat from the banana roll area can cause the buttcheek to sag. Will it sag worse? I also know that many people who get lipo in that area get a cellutlite looking ripple afterwards. Any suggestions of a good solution to this kind of unattractive fat on the back of leg?

Answer: Contouring liposuction for the banana roll
The banana roll is a tricky area for liposuction as the body needs some fat to support the buttocks. Conservative contouring liposuction is usually beneficial on my patients.

Answer: Liposuction
I cannot see a banana roll in your posted photos. Liposuction in this area is risky enough but in the absence of a banana roll it will likely be disastrous. That is the problem with the internet today patient's are partially educated and partial education is sometimes worse than not being educated. If you throw some money around and see enough doctors you could find someone to do this but that does not mean it is the right thing to do.
My response to your question/post does not represent formal medical advice or constitute a doctor patient relationship. You need to consult with i.e. personally see a board certified plastic surgeon in order to receive a formal evaluation and develop a doctor patient relationship.
