Getting Rid of Banana Roll Fat

Smoothing Out the Under-Buttock Area: Solutions for Banana Roll Fat Reduction

Squats, running, pilates, greens, Ozempic—you’ve tried it all. And still, those stubborn fat pockets under your booty (known as banana rolls) defy every effort. It’s easy to give up and assume that banana roll fat reduction just isn’t within reach.

You’re not alone. Even the leanest, most athletic women can struggle with these pesky fat rolls. That’s because under-buttock fat loss isn’t always possible with vigorous exercise and healthy diets.

At Dr. Cat Plastic Surgery, we know how hard it can be to achieve targeted fat loss. Some areas of chub, like those unrelished banana rolls, stubbornly resist change no matter how hard you try. The good news? You have surgical and non-surgical options to sculpt your derrière just the way you want it.

Today, we’re here to discuss potential solutions and help you find your ideal path to the smooth, contoured silhouette you’ve been striving for.

What is Banana Roll Fat?

Banana roll fat is the colloquial term for crescent-shaped rolls of fat that sometimes accumulate between the upper thighs and buttocks. These rolls can sometimes spill out of your underwear or shorts, causing insecurity or embarrassment.

As for why they form, banana rolls can make their appearance due to a number of factors, like:

• Lifestyle: Lack of physical activity and poor diet can contribute to the accumulation of excess fat, including in the banana roll area.
• Weight fluctuations: Significant weight gain or loss can lead to fat deposits in the banana roll area, as your skin may not retract completely afterward.
• Genetics: Just like other physical features, your genetic predisposition can largely influence how and where fat is distributed in your body.
• Hormones: Hormonal shifts, especially in women, can affect where fat is stored. Fluctuations during menstruation, pregnancy, or menopause increase fat in the thigh and buttock area.
• Aging: As you age, your skin and tissues lose elasticity, leading to fat accumulation in certain areas, like the banana roll region.

Due to these potential underlying causes, exercises for banana roll fat and even strict diets don’t always work. Fortunately, those aren’t your only options.

Solutions for Under-Buttock Fat Loss

When it comes to effective banana roll fat reduction, you have both surgical and non-surgical solutions to consider.

Non-Surgical Fat Removal Treatments

Not too keen on going under the knife? No worries. Here are some ways to banish banana rolls sans surgery:

ThermiSmooth Body

During ThermiSmooth Body treatments, Dr. Cat emits radiofrequency energy to warm targeted areas and prompt cellular changes by increasing collagen production. By boosting collagen, which supports your skin’s structure and strength, you can naturally tighten the skin under the buttocks and improve the appearance of banana fat rolls.

The best part? It’s as relaxing as a soothing massage and yields results after your first treatment.

Cryolipolysis

Popularly known as “CoolSculpting,” cryolipolysis involves freezing fat cells to break them down. A device cools fat cells under the skin to a temperature that destroys them. The body then naturally processes and eliminates these dead cells.

The catch? Dr. Cat doesn’t recommend cryolipolysis for banana rolls (or any other areas) due to potential complications like poor results or, worse, paradoxical adipose hyperplasia (when fat expands rather than shrinks).

Laser Lipolysis

With laser lipolysis, buttock fat is targeted and liquified with laser energy. Your provider places a thin fiber optic cable under the skin in your banana roll region. Through that cable, they transmit laser beams that heat the tissue and melt fat cells. They then suction out these melted fat cells, creating a more aesthetic, seamless profile.

Like Coolsculpting, laser lipo doesn’t always meet patients’ expectations. It carries various risks, like burning, scarring, color and texture irregularities, and even skin necrosis.

Diet and Exercise

While targeted fat loss from specific areas isn’t always possible, overall body fat loss can help improve specific spots, like banana rolls.

Here are some exercises for banana roll improvement:

• Squats and lunges
• Deadlifts
• Glute bridges
• Pilates
• Cardio exercises

You’ll also want to consume an ideal diet for fat loss that focuses on:

• Lean proteins
• Fruits and veggies
• Whole grains
• Healthy fats
• Hydration

While these methods show promise, they vary greatly from the dramatic effectiveness and transformative outcomes that come with surgery.

Banana Roll Fat Reduction Surgery Options

Got your sights set on a major, life-changing difference in your under-booty? Here are some procedures that deliver the most remarkable results:

Liposuction

Liposuction allows you to target fat in almost any part of your body that’s been resistant to diet and exercise. Through tiny incisions, Dr. Cat liposuctions banana roll fat out via a thin tube, allowing her to contour that area to align with your aesthetic goals.

You can expect a gorgeous outcome and a full recovery from liposuction within six to eight weeks.

Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)

Wish you could repurpose that fat from lipo to plump up your backside? A Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) allows you to do just that. This procedure combines liposuction with fat transfer to enhance your buttocks naturally—no foreign implants or injections necessary.

You’ll notice a difference immediately post-op, with full recovery after a month or so.

Thigh Lift

In a thigh lift procedure, Dr. Cat reshapes and tightens the inner and outer thighs by lifting the skin and repositioning it so it’s tighter and firmer. She then eliminates the excess, leaving you with smoother, more defined thighs.

You can expect full recovery from a thigh lift in about six weeks.
