Is liposuction the only way to get rid of a banana roll?

Hi Vanessa

Be aware that liposuction can affectively reduce the banana roll.  However, it is more difficult to know in advance how this procedure will affect the appearance of the gluteal fold or crease.  Occasionally this surgery can cause the crease to extend to the lateral thigh.  Will this make you happy or unhappy?  

Often I find that for some women whose sole concern really is the banana roll, they have an over exaggerated concern about this issue.  In other words, they have legs to die for but are hung up on this little roll of fat.  My advice if this is your concern, flaunt your banana roll in your sexiest bikini and I assure you that those admiring your great legs are not going to be thinking about that banana roll as something that detracts from your legs.

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 the question.

It is not possible to give good advice without direct examination.

However, one of the most difficult areas of the body to treat with liposuction and/ or  lipectomy  is the “banana roll" below the buttocks area.

Most patients I see for treatment of this area,  I steer away from surgical procedures.

BE CAREFUL!
