Lipo for banana rolls and saddle bags? (Photo)

Question

Hello I’m 38 and relatively active , however I have these stubborn banana rolls that are worse than any I’ve seen . I’ve consulted a doctor already about bbl and they didn’t recommend it . What options do I have to help resolve these ?

Thank you for your question and images. Based off the photos provided, you do look to be a candidate for liposuction to the banana rolls and outer thighs to help achieve your desired shape. These areas can be very difficult to remove with diet and exercise alone. Therefore, liposuction is typically recommended to target those stubborn zones! It is important to find a qualified board certified physician to do a more in-depth consultation to get you the best treatment plan.

Thank you for your question and pictures! I believe you would be an excellent candidate for Bodytite to your "saddle bag" area. Bodytite is radio frequency assisted liposuction. This will remove fat and tighten your skin at the same time! It is best to have an in person consultation with your provider. Best of luck!

Dear winecountrymama36,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

Liposuction in these areas should work well for you. Find a surgeon who does a fair amount of banana rolls since he/she needs to be conservative in these areas.

Thanks for your question! You might be a candidate for liposuction or CoolSculpting to that area. It would be better assessed in person. Seek an in-person consultation for an evaluation. Good luck!

Hi winecountrymama36 and thank you for your question and photos. The banana roll area can be addressed with liposuction. It is important to make sure that it is not overdone to avoid creating a depression in the area. It is also important that the lower buttock is not violated to prevent dropping of the buttock area. Your saddlebag areas can also be addressed with liposuction. Depending on how loose your skin is in the banana roll area, the liposuction can also be combined with skin tightening using radiofrequency (also known as Bodytite). This is done at the same time as liposuction through the same small incisions made for liposuction and helps to tighten the skin over time. From your photos, you have what are known as hip dips, which is common in many women. If you desire, the fat that is obtained from liposuction of your banana rolls and saddle bags can be used to fill in these areas. I hope this helps answer your question!

Great posted photos.... Lipo is the best method to correct the banana rolls into the "saddle bags". Plus you have hip dips so I recommend lipo 360 with banana rolls and lower outer thighs then fat transfer to hip dips/buttock via ultrasound guided injections. Fee $7,900. Best to virtual consult with....
