Is lipo the best choice?

Hi, In case you have small amount of excess of skin and fat in the subgluteal area (banana rolls), liposuction can help decrease this rolls, in some cases skin tightening devices combined in the same liposuction can help you improve that area. Cellulite can be difficult to treat. In my opinion go to an In-person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon so he can suggest you the best option for treatment. Hope this is helpful.

Dear Reserved16976,

Thank you for your question. Your concerns about the "banana rolls" (the fatty deposits below the buttocks) and cellulite/dimples are shared by many.

Without seeing photos or having a physical examination, it's challenging to provide an exact recommendation. However, I can offer some general advice and options based on the information you've shared:

Liposuction for Banana Rolls: Liposuction can be an effective treatment for reducing localized fat deposits, like the banana rolls. When performed correctly, it can provide a smoother contour in this area. However, liposuction alone may not address the skin laxity or the appearance of cellulite.

Cellulite and Dimples: Cellulite is caused by fibrous bands pulling the skin inward, causing dimples and an uneven skin surface. Liposuction does not directly address cellulite, and in some cases, it can even exacerbate its appearance. There are various treatments for cellulite, including:

Subcision: This involves cutting the fibrous bands that cause dimpling.
Radiofrequency, Ultrasound, and Laser Treatments: These can stimulate collagen production, potentially improving the skin's appearance.
Topical Treatments: While there are many creams and lotions marketed for cellulite reduction, their effectiveness can be limited.
Combining Procedures: Sometimes, a combination of liposuction with other treatments can provide the best results, addressing both the fatty deposits and the appearance of cellulite.

Consultation: I highly recommend consulting with a board-certified plastic surgeon who can provide an in-person assessment. They can evaluate the elasticity of your skin, the amount of fat, and the severity of cellulite to recommend the best treatment strategy for your specific needs.

Set Realistic Expectations: It's essential to understand that while treatments can significantly improve the appearance, it might not entirely eliminate the concerns. Setting realistic expectations will ensure your satisfaction with the procedure's outcome.

In conclusion, while liposuction can be a valuable tool in reshaping certain areas of the body, it's essential to consider all options and understand the limitations of each treatment. An in-person consultation with a plastic surgeon will give you a clearer picture of the best course of action tailored to your unique needs.

Sincerely,

Unfortunately, you have not provided photographs. However, liposuction of the banana rolls can make the situation worse. You may need a buttocks lift. I need photographs to give an accurate answer.

Best Wishes,

Liposuction can be done to remove excess fat in the banana roll area and skin tightening with radiofrequency like Renuvion can be used to help tighten your skin. You did not post photos, so I cannot be specific.

Can you send some pictures please, is important for recognize the situation and fix this ……as soon as you can

The banana role is a skinfold that forms the back of your thigh is pushed into your buttocks in an upright standing position. It represents skin redundancy that I lost flexion of your hips. The opposite of the banana role is the skin fold that forms on your lower abdomen when you flex your hips like in a sitting position. The skin redundancy to allow full range of motion of the hips and then some people this creates a fold, sometimes called the banana roll.
The problem is not related to fat distribution, and Liposuction does not fix the problem and often causes undesirable. Secondary consequences. Cellulite is not treated with Liposuction. There are not very many good treatments for cellulite, but the current best treatment option in my opinion is to use a device called. Aveli.
Without seeing pictures, we can’t begin to make an assessment. Consider posting pictures. To get an idea of what we need. Looking out plastic surgeons take before and after pictures.
Delivering consistent quality, liposuction results is more difficult than most people realize. The number of plastic surgeons actually mastered this procedure are in a small minority. You’ll find no shortage of plastic surgeons. Happy to do Liposuction in the area you described. It is a technically very difficult area to get good results in just being extremely cautious about having Liposuction and especially choosing providers. A skilled provider should add a minimum recognize. A difficult area is there is a very good likelihood of results, not turning out the way either one of you had anticipated.
Consider a posting with appropriate pictures or schedule a few in person consultations with local board-certified plastic surgeons. Anybody, considering Liposuction should in my opinion start the process by having at least five in person consultations before scheduling permanent irreversible body contouring procedures that can potentially leave people disfigured.
Best,

Hi. Banana rolls can be improved with liposuction. The best treatment for cellulite is Aveli, which is a device that cuts the fibers that are tethering down the skin at the dimples. It works well and can be done under local anesthesia.
