Are these fat pockets under glutes genetic & can they be treated? (Photos)

Yes, the fat pockets under your glutes are likely genetic. Many individuals have localized fat deposits in specific areas like the lower thighs and under the glutes (often referred to as "banana rolls"), which can become more prominent with weight gain. These fat deposits can be difficult to eliminate through diet and exercise alone, even with a high-protein diet and regular workouts.
Treatment options for these fat pockets include liposuction (with or without skin tightening devices like Renuvion or BodyTite), which can help remove excess fat and create a more contoured appearance. Liposuction is often effective in smoothing out areas like the lateral thighs, banana rolls, and gluteal crease, especially when performed by an experienced surgeon.
It's important to consult with an experienced plastic surgeon to determine the most appropriate approach based on your goals and anatomy.

Liposuction of the lateral, medial and posterior thighs will make a nice improvement and is easy to undergo under local.

The best possible situation for liposuction are small well defined fat deposits like yours. A selective liposuction in local anesthesia, possibly in standing position, would be my suggestion. Good luck.

Yes, these fatty pockets may be genetic. Liposuction can be used to help smooth them out. Once treated you should have a more uniform contour in that area with weight gain or loss.

They are probably genetic mosaic deposits that enlarge with weight gain in those areas. Liposuction may be a good option.

Yes, those areas are related to genetics and liposuction can be done to remove the excess in your lateral thighs and banana roll areas.

Thank you for your question and photos. Yes. Those are definitely fat pockets. People often refer to fat below their crease as Banana Rolls. In your case this is a little different. When standing up strait, you do not have a crease beneath your buttocks. You have one medially, but is ends where the fat pocket starts. Therefore, If you would like to have a crease, like you see under your left cheek in the second picture when your hip is extended, I would recommend liposuction.

Based on your nicely posted photos, you have what we label banana rolls to fat deposits in that area to the lateral thighs treated by superficial lip, sculpting and Endo lift laser treatment fee 8000 $12,000. Best of virtual consult with
