What is Banana Roll Fat and how to treat it?

Everyone has different aspects to their bodies that they may wish to alter or change. Fortunately, there are a range of treatments available to help you achieve this. Many who lead a healthy lifestyle can feel dissatisfied with their effort when fat loss doesn’t occur in certain areas.

If you have noticed excess fat in the lower buttocks area, then you most likely have banana roll fat. The good news is that fat in this area can be successfully treated to help reveal a more sculpted smooth buttocks area.

What is Banana Roll Fat?

Banana roll is the term given to the bulge of fat that accumulates just under the buttocks. It usually takes on a crescent shape, hence the term ‘banana roll’.

Banana roll fat is an area of excess fat that forms between the upper thighs and buttocks, it can be present on both sides or just one. It often develops due to a weak posterior thigh and glute area. It can cause the buttocks to look saggy and unsculpted.

What causes banana roll fat?

There are many reasons why banana roll fat may develop. But if you are wondering what is causing it to be tricky to remove then there are many reasons why.

A sedentary and stationary lifestyle can result in unfit glutes and an increase in fat. Those who do not lead a lifestyle that includes a good diet and exercise are more prone to developing banana roll fat.

Some individuals have a genetic predisposition that causes their body to store fat in that area. Metabolism issues and conditions that cause weight distribution in specific areas can also make you more prone to banana roll fat.

How to treat banana roll fat?

Treating banana roll fat in particular can be tricky with diet and exercise alone as it is impossible to control where fat forms on your body. However, with our body sculpting treatments, we can lend a hand to get you closer to your body goals.

CoolSculpting for Banana Roll Fat

CoolSculpting is ideal for those looking for a fat reduction treatment that does not involve surgery or needles. The treatment uses advanced cooling technology that effectively freezes fat cells which will then be naturally dispersed from the body.

The treatment can target specific areas of the body without damaging the surrounding skin tissue and has been proven to remove up to 27% of fat cells in a single treatment session. A course of CoolSculpting treatment is highly recommended as it has also been proven that with multiple sessions, a further 78% reduction in fat cells is possible.

Results from CoolSculpting are gradual and best seen after 8-12 weeks.

Liposuction for Banana Roll

Liposuction is a great treatment option for reducing excess fat. At The Private Clinic, we offer a wide range of liposuction techniques to suit everyone.

Micro Lipo is a fat removal and body shaping treatment used for reshaping smaller body areas making it an ideal choice for Banana Roll reduction.

The procedure is performed under local anaesthetic which means you will remain awake but be pain-free. Very small incisions are made in the area for the cannula to be inserted. The cannula is a small tool that suctions out the unwanted fat cells. Once fat cells have been removed, the cannula is removed and the incisions are bandaged.

No stitches are required but you will need to wear a compression garment for 6 weeks as advised by your surgeon.

Results from Micro Lipo are instant, but due to swelling that can occur post-procedure, they are best seen after 3-4 weeks.
