Hello, I am a 28 year old female and have suffered with severe banana rolls under my glutes for 15 years. It’s my biggest insecurity and has effected a huge part of my life. It’s much larger under one side (I do have minor scoliosis so not sure if this is related) I have tried working out but nothing really seems to help me. I do work on my computer and sit at a desk a lot so I’m sure that has something to do with it. Would a bbl help? I have a very fast metabolism, I only weigh about 105 lbs.

Answer: Treatment for banana rolls Allow me to answer your question as best i can based upon your photos. However, please keep in mind that an in-person, or at least a virtual, consultation with physical exam is first necessary before any legitimate evaluation or final surgical recommendations can be made. In your particular situation, your banana rolls are purely a genetic variation of normal. BBL is definitely not an option for you and liposuction often just makes this problem worse. I personally first treat patients like you by adding volume to the buttock with a buttock implant. This will create a more desirable smooth and rounded perky buttock profile and, to a variable extent, lift (stretch and smooth out) banana rolls . A lower buttock tuck to further eliminate any residual banana roll can be performed 6+ months later. In this sequence, the implants have fully settled into final position so that any remaining loose skin can be most accurately identified and removed with the lower buttock tuck. Please note, because an extremely few number of board certified plastic surgeons specialize in buttock implants, you may have to travel away from your local area to seek consultation with this particular type of surgeon. Glad to help.

Answer: Banana roll While a BBL can enhance the shape and projection of your buttocks, it may not directly address the issue of banana rolls. Banana rolls are commonly treated through liposuction, which removes the excess fat from the specific area. Liposuction can help reduce the prominence of the banana rolls and improve the overall contour of the buttocks and thighs. However, it's important to note that liposuction is a localized fat removal procedure and may not completely eliminate the issue, especially if it is related to factors such as genetics, skin laxity, or other underlying anatomical factors. To determine the best course of action for your specific situation, I recommend consulting with a qualified plastic surgeon who can evaluate your concerns and provide personalized recommendations. They will be able to assess the severity of your banana rolls, consider your overall body proportions and goals, and discuss the most appropriate treatment options. They may recommend a combination of liposuction, body contouring procedures, or other approaches to achieve the desired outcome. I hope this helps, best of luck !
