Is lipo for the back of the leg (banana roll) too risky? (Photos)

LidiaC
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?
