My experience with Dr. Darren Smith and his staff made it obvious that I should never consider another plastic surgeon! I had several consultations with other cosmetic surgeons for a breast lift procedure before making the indisputable choice to go with Dr. Darren Smith.
Banana Roll Liposuction NYC
Remove Unwanted Fat and Get That Elusive Contoured Aesthetic
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.

“Dr. Smith and his team are absolutely amazing! I had a breast lift ten days ago, and they exceeded every single expectation throughout the entire process. I was really scared at first, but everyone was super knowledgeable, confident, and caring, and they were there to support me at all times. I would recommend Dr. Smith a billion times. I feel great already!”

SCHEDULE A CONSULTATIONWhat 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.
Am I A Good Candidate For Banana Roll Liposuction in NYC?
Dr. Darren Smith prides himself on offering clients a professional and transparent experience. Stubborn fat can be challenging to treat, but there are plenty of procedures to explore. This procedure is frequently combined with Emsculpt Neo of the buttocks to further enhance results.
If the following apply to you, you may be a good candidate for banana roll liposuction:
- Good Health: Although liposuction is a minimally invasive procedure, you should still be healthy to minimize risks.
- Stubborn Fat: Some people find their banana rolls improve with diet and exercise, while others do not have success with this approach. If you’re dealing with excess fat beneath the buttocks, the procedure can help.
- Realistic Expectations: It’s vital to remember that liposuction improves your body’s contours, but it’s not a weight loss procedure. Have realistic expectations about the final results.
- Good Skin Elasticity: If your skin has good elasticity, it will bounce back and contour well after the procedure. Loose and sagging skin can degrade the quality of your results, so Dr. Smith might suggest minimally invasive skin tightening with VASER and BodyTite or an alternative treatment like a thigh lift.
- Commitment: While liposuction permanently removes fat cells, you’ll want to get plenty of exercise and eat healthy foods to maintain the contours we achieve together.
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.
The Procedure
The following video gives you a detailed look at the liposuction procedure, in this case enhanced with BodyTite radiofrequency skin tightening.

What’s the Recovery for Banana Roll Lipo?
As a minimally invasive procedure, you can look forward to a rapid recovery time. Patients can go home the same day as their liposuction, but you’ll need someone to drive you. You’ll receive compression garments, which are similar to shapewear or bike shorts.
If you combine your liposuction procedure with a BodyTite skin tightening treatment, you’ll need to wear the garment for longer. Dr. Smith will provide tailored aftercare instructions, speeding up your recovery.
Try to take it easy for 48 hours and avoid anything physically demanding for a few days after the procedure. Most people can enjoy light workouts after seven days, but we generally recommend that you should wait two weeks for intensive exercise.
Since everyone heals at their own pace, don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or concerns about your recovery or the aftercare process.

Can I Combine Banana Roll Lipo with Other Procedures?
It’s safe to combine this type of liposuction with other cosmetic procedures. For example, some patients will simultaneously have different areas treated with liposuction, like the thighs, arms, saddlebags, abdomen, waist, or legs. Other patients may repurpose the extracted fat and reinject it (fat grafting) in different body areas, like the middle or top of the buttocks or breasts, for a fuller, more rounded shape.
If you’re considering combining liposuction procedures, please let your doctor know during your initial consultation so we can create the best care plan.

Just as a valley in front of a mountain makes a mountain appear taller, decreasing the prominence of the posterior thigh (shaded blue) under the buttocks will make the buttocks appear to project further and look more “perky.”
Is Banana Roll Liposuction Painful?
The procedure itself isn’t painful. However, once the local anesthetic wears off, you may feel sore or tender in the treatment area. This sensation is similar to what is experienced after an intense workout. Many patients take pain medication the first few days after the procedure to minimize discomfort.
We will ask that you not get the treatment area wet for 48 hours after the procedure. After 48 hours, we allow our patients to shower in the treated area, but we advise them to avoid submerging it (e.g., swimming or bathing) for 10-14 days. Before your surgery, you’ll discuss the best aftercare approach for your individual case.
When Will You See Results?
By week 3-4, you will see a nice change. The results will improve as the swelling continues to diminish. Final results from banana roll lipo usually appear after approximately three months. The results are especially noticeable even earlier when you wear tight-fitting clothing.
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.

Who is a Candidate for Banana Roll Liposuction?
Liposuction could be a good option if you’re unhappy with the shape of your buttocks or posterior thighs because of banana rolls. Most patients who undergo banana roll lipo want to alter the shape and contour of their backside to look better in and out of clothing and feel more confident. Ideal candidates should have good overall health and realistic expectations for the surgery results.
Banana rolls can alter the curvature of the buttocks and are especially noticeable from a side angle. Many patients report they feel like their bottom looks saggy or the gluteal muscles look untoned. Dr. Smith can permanently remove excess fat underneath your buttocks to give you a more firm and toned-appearing backside. This procedure is frequently combined with Emsculpt Neo of the buttocks to further enhance results.
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.
