Are you sick of limiting which clothes you wear? Are stubborn fat pockets an issue, even though you lead a healthy lifestyle? Banana rolls (layers of subcutaneous fat that develop between the lower buttocks and upper thighs) can be challenging to deal with – but there are treatment options available.
Dr. Smith frequently recommends liposuction to treat banana rolls, which are characterized by their crescent-like shape. It’s a safe and effective way to reach your body goals when diet and exercise aren’t enough.
Decreasing the fatty bulge beneath the buttocks can create a more youthful buttock without altering it.
What Causes Banana Rolls?
There are numerous possible causes of banana rolls, with the most common being:
- Aging: The skin begins to lose elasticity with age, which results in more prominent banana rolls.
- Genetics: Your genes can also play a role, as some people are more likely to accumulate fat in certain areas.
- Hormones: Older women often develop banana rolls due to hormonal changes.
- Lifestyle: Consuming lots of saturated fats and sugar causes higher subcutaneous fat levels. Add a sedentary lifestyle to that, and you get stubborn banana rolls.
- Weight Changes: Losing and gaining weight can also result in banana rolls, as both can alter fat distribution.
Why Choose Banana Roll Liposuction Procedure?
Banana roll liposuction offers several advantages for patients looking to refine and enhance the contours of their body.
Your Banana Roll Treatment With Dr. Smith
Banana roll liposuction is a cosmetic procedure designed to remove excess fat from the area just below the buttocks and lower back. It’s usually done under local anesthesia or IV sedation (twilight anesthesia), so you stay comfortable throughout the process.
The surgeon makes small incisions in the targeted area, then inserts a thin tube called a cannula to suction out the fat. During the procedure, they also sculpt the area to create a smoother, more contoured look.
Most patients can go home the same day after the procedure and typically recover fairly quickly.
Initial Consultation
You’ll receive a consultation with Dr. Smith to discuss your aesthetic goals and determine your eligibility for the procedure.
Dr. Smith looks at your medical history and whether you’re using medications. It’s also best to stop smoking before the procedure.
Next, you’ll schedule your surgery date and prepare for the procedure. Following any pre-operative instruction is vital to ensure the best possible results.

Liposuction is a permanent fat removal solution. However, the remaining fat cells in the treatment area can expand if you gain weight. The treatment area generally will gain much less volume than other body areas with weight increase. You can help maintain your new shape by adhering to a healthy diet and exercising regularly.
Many patients considering banana roll liposuction have questions about the procedure, recovery process, and expected results. Here, we answer some of the most frequently asked questions about this body contouring treatment.

FAQs about Banana Roll Liposuction
How long does it take to recover?
Most patients can return to non-strenuous work within 48 hours after banana roll liposuction. However, more strenuous activities may need to be avoided for 10-14 days. After two to three weeks, more intensive activities can be resumed, but complete healing takes 4 to 6 weeks for most patients.
Will there be scars?
The tiny insertion sites used for the cannula during banana roll liposuction heal into barely perceptible scars. Their location within natural creases minimizes their visibility.
Are the results permanent?
Yes, the fat cells removed during banana roll liposuction are permanently eliminated from the body. However, significant weight gain can impact results.
When performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon, banana roll liposuction is considered a very safe and effective procedure. It provides reliable, natural-looking fat reduction in the posterior thighs.
How does banana roll liposuction compare to larger liposuction procedures?
Banana roll liposuction targets a specific region of stubborn fat deposits along the back of the thighs. This focused procedure offers a very rapid and generally comfortable recovery.
Banana roll liposuction uses a small cannula and removes a precise fat pocket, as opposed to more generalized liposuction procedures that may target larger body areas. It provides contouring and slimming benefits focused on a particular trouble spot instead of treating larger areas.
While traditional liposuction can treat multiple zones, banana roll liposuction specifically targets those stubborn pockets of posterior thigh fat called the banana roll. It is a more targeted approach designed to reshape this specific region.
What are the alternatives to banana roll liposuction in NYC?
There are two main alternatives to banana roll liposuction, and the one you choose depends on your anatomy and aesthetic goals:
-
Brazilian Butt Lift: A Brazilian butt lift is a procedure in which fat is transferred from other body areas to the buttocks. This procedure may be beneficial for those who want to focus on increasing the prominence of their buttocks rather than slimming their posterior thighs.
-
Thigh Lift: Individuals with excess fat and skin laxity might find that a posterior thigh lift offers the best results. These procedures can remove unwanted fat and tighten the skin on the posterior thigh. They can also be combined with other procedures that contour the inner and outer thighs.
