Can I get liposuction for the banana roll under my butt?

Question

Hi there, vey unhappy with my Banana roll under my butt and the thickness of my thighs so I'm considering liposuction. What would treatment like this cost me?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

the buttock roll needs to be treated carefully often this needs internal heating and lifting NOT just liposuction/ please post photos. thigh lift with hidden scar does very well.

my whole practice is doing lipoabdominoplasty or thigh lifting or at least liposuction with internal heating (which is not the gold standard for skin tightening with body contouring).

the smaller you are before liposuction the more contouring you can get from the procedure. most of my liposuction patients get pre and post surgical optimization with hormonal therapy (see link to help boost their weight loss before surgery and help them heal after).

You need a formal evaluation by an expert in body shaping and contouring to determine what is best.  Traditional liposuction awake and smart liposuction are old methods and do very poorly for tightening skin or significant skin tightening or contouring.  Small problem areas can be improved slightly by these methods.  The best in body contouring not only removes fat with energy devices like VASER ultrasound but also internally heat the skin with radio-frequency devices such as J PLASMA/RENUVION, InMode BodyTite, ThermiRF to heat the under surface of the skin and tighten it at the same time as fat removal. These combinations are called 4D HIDEF VASER contouring and can only be done by a well . trained body contouring specialist. At the same time fat should be harvested, PRP and stem cells added and injected into muscles or indentations/cellulite to get body shaping and contouring.  This is known as a Brazilian butt lift when you inject the fat to the buttock for contouring and lifting, but fat can also be used in areas such as the chest/breast, arms/shoulders, calves and face.  Cellulite should also be treated with cellfina, sculptra, subcision and/or fillers such as bellafill, renuva synthetic fat, or sculptra.  If skin is very loose before surgery then it will need to be removed such as lower abdominal skin (tummy tuck/abdominoplasty), breast skin (breast lift), arm skin (brachioplasty).  Overall you need a full assessment, but simple liposuction alone will not tighten skin and needs a combination of various methods -- fat removal, skin tightening, defining, fat grafting, skin removal -- to get the best in body contouring and body sculpting.  Dr. Emer.

Hi motchy08

Your cost for liposuction will depend on whether or not additional procedures are performed. Other procedures include liposuction in multiple areas and lifts. For more information about this procedure, please visit our website.

Dear mochty08,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Generally speaking, liposuction might not be the best option for banana rolls. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Yes you can... but just liposuction is not really effective, just a partial improvement.  You better should add an skin removal, but if very worried about scars, you can try with the lipo but more skin attach.

Very careful! Do not go to some cosmetic surgeon who took a weekend course to learn liposuction. That area is very tricky and can be fraught with the risk of ruining the fold. Make sure you see a board-certified plastic surgeon I can help you understand options available to you. Best of luck! Dr. Boschert
