Age 30, fit, best option to get rid of banana rolls/double gluteal fold? (Photo)

Question

I’m interested in any options to get rid of my banana rolls/ double gluteal fold. I’ve looked into liposuction but the risk of sagging scares me. Would cool sculpting or kybella be better options? (In terms of sagging)? Laser? Sculptra? Any tips or answers are highly appreciated (I’m 30y/old and fit)

Morpheus 8 is a non-invasive skin and soft tissue tightening treatment that is consistently amazing in our patients. We use the Morpheus to exact fractional induced RF into the skin or tissue in order to tighten collagen and stimulate contraction of the tissue. For acne scars, it is quite useful to build collagen in patients who have atrophic scars but is not very productive for ice-pick scars which require TCA Cross. For tissue tightening, Morpheus is ideal for the face and neck and we often combine it with CO2 laser or Ultherapy to further enhance results. Chemical peels and skin resurfacing should be done at least 5 to 7 days after, but can be performed earlier, depending on treatment severity. Avoid exfoliating skin treatments before Morpheus and expect a period of 2-4 weeks for skin contraction to set in.

Best,

You don’t really have a banana roll. What creates an illusion of the banana roll is a few dimples which exist below the buttocks. Using sculptra to fill out those horizontal indentations will create a smoother appearance to the thigh and below the buttocks area. You need to make sure that you go to someone who knows exactly what they’re doing when it comes to sculptra and that not too much sculptra is injected into the indents . Remember, you would rather have this procedure done more than once, than wind up with bumps. I hope this helps and good luck from New York City Plastic Surgery.
