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

Daniel Barrett, MD · Answer

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.

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

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.

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.
