There is a new area of your body that you can now become self-conscious about, ladies: do you have banana rolls? With celebrities like Kim Kardashian and Nicki Minaj flaunting their famous derrieres, the search for a perfect backside has increased the visits to plastic clinics for a procedure called banana roll liposuction!
But, what it is exactly that is hiding behind that name?
The term “banana roll” refers to the accumulation of fat on the lower buttocks, just below the gluteal fold, and just above the back thigh. The heavier the bottom is, the bigger the roll of fat resembling a banana that forms. However, even skinny women can have them! Just like it is the case with saddle bags and muffin tops, banana rolls are genetically determined and therefore difficult to eliminate by exercise and diet alone.
Banana roll liposuction is a localized liposuction performed by utilizing a thin canula in order to target these stubborn fat deposits and improve both the size and the shape of the buttocks. It is not surprising that the procedure is becoming an increasingly requested one, since the tendency to accumulate fat in this area is inherited, and so it oftentimes proves resistant to dieting and exercise.
The goal of performing a banana roll liposuction is creating a greater definition between the buttocks and the top of the thighs. It is common to perform fat transplantation from the upper thighs to the butt cheeks at the same time. Ideally, the results would be thinner thighs, and the enhancement of the buttocks, making your derriere perkier and better defined.
However, some women who have undergone the procedure are left disappointed. The results are not permanent. You are supposed to exercise in order to firm up your gluteal muscles. Instead of a promised smoother skin, various bumps and lumps can occur.
Banana roll liposuction is not without its own share of potential problems and, just like with all cosmetic procedures involving surgery, there is always a possibility of complications. When it comes to this sort of liposuction, less is more! Over treating the area may produce less than desirable results, and actually leave you with drooping buttocks.
That’s why it is said that banana roll liposuction is both the holy grail of liposuction, and a double sword. Too aggressive liposuction in the area can loosen the connective tissue that supports the buttocks. In the worst case scenario, the collapse of the buttock can occur (and yes, that’s a term for a real medical condition)!
