Can Lipo be performed in the area where my butt and thigh connect so that I can achieve a more "P" shape? (photos)

Question

Is it possible to get lipo in that area I want to be shaped like a P and I have no separation from my thigh to butt

Semih Yildiz, MD, FEPOBRAS · Answer

Looking at the photos, the buttock-to-thigh transition appears fairly straight, with limited separation at the lower outer buttock. Liposuction can sometimes refine the upper posterior thigh, banana roll, or outer thigh area to create more definition, but it has to be done very conservatively.

Removing too much fat directly under the buttock can weaken support, create a longer or more saggy-looking buttock, cause contour irregularity, or make the crease look worse. For a more rounded "P" shape, the plan often depends on whether the issue is excess fullness around the thigh/hip area or not enough buttock projection. If there is enough donor fat, selective liposuction combined with fat transfer to the buttock or hip area may be more useful than liposuction alone.

An in-person exam with a board-certified plastic surgeon experienced in liposuction and BBL is needed to assess your skin quality, gluteal support, fat distribution, and whether conservative contouring, fat transfer, or no treatment in that specific area would be the safest option.

Dear sknendn,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Generally speaking, liposuction of that area can cause buttocks to be saggy or banana rolls in some cases. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

This would not be advisable as this area of the gluteal crease is very difficult to control. Any manipulation of this area can create deformities that would be very difficult to correct.

Hello; There is no obvious fat accumulation in your subgluteal area (banana fold). When removing fat from this field; it is necessary to be careful. Because, when the fat is removed; it is an area that is easily prone for pitting and wrinkling of the skin.

Emmanuel Mallol Cotes, MD · Answer

Yes, liposuction can be performed in the area where the buttocks and thighs connect, often referred to as the "banana roll" area. This area is a common target for liposuction for individuals looking to achieve a more defined and aesthetically pleasing shape.

Liposuction can target the "banana roll," which is the fatty area beneath the buttocks, where the butt meets the upper thigh. Removing excess fat in this area can help enhance the definition between the buttocks and thighs.

The goal of the procedure can be to achieve a more defined "P" shape or a smoother transition between the buttocks and thighs. The procedure can help enhance the natural contours of the body and improve the overall silhouette.

Sincerely, 
Dr. Emmanuel Mallol

You have excellent shape to your gluteal region. Just below the gluteal fold is an area known as the banana roll and also an area that is very sensitive to liposuction. Thus, a very small amount of Lipocontouring could be done in this region but, less is more.

Thank you for submitting your questions and photos.  Liposuction of the area between the buttock and thigh ("the banana roll") can improve the contour and provide more definition between the two areas.  There is a limit to how much liposuction can be done here in order to not create an irregular contour.  I recommend you consult a board certified plastic surgeon who has experience with liposuction of this area to see if you are a good candidate.  
Good luck and thanks again for reaching out!

You could achieve the results you are looking for with exercises, constant use of the garmet , and yes, you could also get a liposuction in the area to be treated to achieve the shape you are looking for quickly and precise.

The area that you are describing is commonly referred to as the "banana roll".  This area can be suctioned to improve the contour, however care must be taken as aggressive liposuction can lead to less than optimal results.  Be sure to visit an experienced board certified plastic surgeon for a consultation to learn more.

Connie Hiers, MD, FACS · Answer

I am not sure what you mean by the "P", but liposuction can be done in the banana roll that sits directly under your buttock. It should not be aggressive since this is not a forgiving area.
