Yes, this area is also known as the banana roll. As long as there is pinchable fat in this area CoolSculpting can improve the look and contour of the buttocks. it was recently FDA approved for use in this area.
Coolsculpting is an excellent form of non-invasive fat reduction forthe right patient. Some applicators take 1 or 2 hours but the new advantageapplicators take only 35 minutes and have significantly less risk for delayedonset pain (especially in the abdomen). Results are seen at 2 months andtypically 1-3 treatments will be necessary on each area to achieve idealresults. The number of treatments depends on the amount of fat there and thepatient's goals. There is not downtime and the results can be impressivein the right patient. We also use the Zimmer Z-wave for improved patientcomfort and added results. The best candidates are those who are in prettygood shape with areas of stubborn fat that won't go away no matter what. If you can pinch the fat, coolsculpting could be a possibility. In office visit is very important to determine if you are a good candidate. My best,Sheila Nazarian, MD, MMMBeverly Hills, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon
Coolsculpting can be done in the area below the buttocks, otherwise known as the “banana roll”, however there needs to be pinchable fat in this area and an in person consult should be performed to make sure you are a candidate. Treating the waist and thigh areas are also options for a Coolsculpting treatment. Treating the lower leg is not something that we have done in our office, however please make sure you have a consult with a certified Coolsculpting site and discuss all options for treatment.
Dear Luckyladybug, We have done the banana roll for many clients and it has marginal results. It truly depends on the how the tissue presents, a good practice will tell you if it's a good option for you. It's designed to reduce the bulge but I doubt you will feel like it makes your bottom look "bigger" to be honest. Outer thighs are an approved area for cool sculpt and the abdomen and love handles as well. Best of Luck.
CoolSculpting can be performed under the butt in the "banana roll" area in suitable candidates. The fat has to be pliable enough to be pulled into the applicator. The waist and flanks can also be treated. There really isn't a suitable applicator for the lower legs. Please find an experienced provider for an in-person consultation and evaluation to see if the treatment is appropriate for you. Best wishes.
