Brazilian Butt Lift
Smart Lipo or Brazilian Butt Lift for Banana Rolls?
While exercise is an important part of looking and feeling great, there is no such thing as targeted weight loss. This means that as you lose (or gain) weight, you don´t lose or gain it from a specific area, but instead, you lose it from everywhere. The ratio of how you lose it can be different and can change a you age. Liposuction surgery, however, removes fat from specific areas. If your goal is to improve your contour by reducing certain areas, this can be very effective. Liposuctuon has some limitations if you have excess skin or are significantly overweight. A brazilian butt lift surgery takes the benefits of liposuction (in reducing areas of prominent contour), and adds the ability to increase areas that need additional profile.
Clinical Context
Banana rolls are often a mix of fat and loose skin where the buttock crease meets the thigh. During your exam, your surgeon checks how much of the tissue is fat that liposuction can remove versus skin laxity that liposuction won't correct. This helps determine whether liposuction alone will smooth the area or whether it should be combined with a buttock procedure to create an even contour from the side.
