What is this lump of fat on thigh? Cellulite or banana roll ? It's very stubborn on 1 leg - best treatment? (photos)

Question

One thigh has a hard lump of fat - feels slightly different to the other cellulite on my leg. I have had this when I am 10kg lower than I am now and I am within a healthy weight range for my height and do plenty exercise. I'd like to know what treatments are best here

Hello, thank you for your question. A physical examination is required but you may be a candidate for liposuction of this area. I recommend you to schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon.

Hi eh456

Coolsculpting is the number one non-surgical alternative to liposuction for removing unwanted fat.  You can treat most areas of the body including your neck, arms, abdomen, flanks, and thighs. For more information about this procedure, please visit our website.

Connie Hiers, MD, FACS · Answer

You have some excess fat in the banana roll area which can be treated with liposuction.  This is a stubborn area to remove with weight loss.

Mats Hagstrom, MD (license on probation) · Answer

It sounds like you may have a lipoma which is a benign fat tumor.

These may grow on their own, with weight gain but typically do not shrink with weight loss.

The correct treatment is direct surgical excision.

I suggest having a few in person consultations to get a more accurate assessment.

Best,

Mats Hagstrom MD

Hello,
Thank you for sharing the information, it is a pleasure for me to answer your question.

Definitely the most appropriate is to start (tummy tuck, liposuction and BBL can also be included), you are a candidate perfect, for the procedure, with this you can eliminate all localized fat and flaccidity, you will get the best results and have a defined appearance according to your body. everything depends on your BMI, if it is within the normal range, above 35 it can generate risks.
It is advisable to consult with a certified plastic surgeon, for a good evaluation, to provide you with all the information you need to know about the appropriate recommendations, so that you can achieve the desired goals in your body.

I hope this answer will help you
My best wishes for you...
