Lipo Laser for Banana Roll?

Question

I've been researching the best option to improve the appearance of my banana roll. I consulted my situation with a doctor and he says that the banana roll is due to excess fat accumulating in a certain area. He said that he wouldn't suggest liposuction because if too much fat was removed from my upper thigh under my butt, my butt would sag! Would lipo laser be a better option? or do you think this could cause my butt to sag also? If not lipo laser.. any other suggestions?

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

Thank you for your question. This is a very difficult area to safely remove fat and not cause distortion. See a very experienced Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, and make a game plan for this area. I hope this helps.

An exam would determine what could be done for your physique.  The banana roll is vastly different in different people.  I frequently liposuction this area by itself or in conjunction with multiple other areas or while performing the Brazilian buttlift.  Find a plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of liposuction procedures each year.  Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

What the surgeon with whom you consulted told you is correct to a certain extent. The banana roll is a difficult area to treat. It is one area where caution and conservatism certainly pay off, since aggressive liposuction of the banana roll can disrupt the lattice of deep dermal-fascial attachments that lend shape and support to this area. I believe it is best treated with the SmartLipo system, as the skin tightening component of this modality is extremely helpful in this region, and again, in treating the banana roll, less is more.

A very difficult area to treat with good results. The latest technology or combination of technologies is the SmartLipo Triplex plus Thermigen RF in combination or the Thermigen alone. Fee from $3,000
