What Are Banana Rolls?

Banana rolls refer to the thick layer of fat that builds up between your upper thigh and lower butt. The accumulated fat has a crescent shape and resembles a banana. 

The presence of banana rolls can obscure the definition of the butt and might make it difficult to wear certain types of clothing, such as body-fitted pants and shorts. Getting rid of banana rolls may be the key to achieving your desired figure. 

What's the Reason Behind Those Banana Rolls?

For most people, banana roll fat is an aesthetic concern because it might prevent them from having a perfect figure. Here are some common reasons many people develop banana rolls.

Genetics 

Banana rolls are usually a result of genetics. Some people are simply predisposed to fat accumulating in the body's lower region. Other genetic factors, such as slow metabolism, can also lead to unwanted fat accumulation between the butt and upper thigh.

Lifestyle 

Research shows that 19.3% of women in the United States are obese. Lifestyle choices such as working a sedentary job or not getting enough exercise can mean excess fat accumulates under the gluteal fold. The more fat, the thicker the banana rolls will appear.

Diet 

An unhealthy diet can result in weight gain, which is another cause of banana rolls. Some particular foods that contain higher amounts of carbohydrates, saturated fats, and sugar could be the main culprits.

Hormones 

As we age, the body undergoes typical hormonal changes, which can lead to the development of banana rolls. In particular, hormonal imbalance can occur during pregnancy and fat accumulates in the hips, thighs, and butt.

Is CoolSculpting an Answer to These Problems?

No matter the reason behind your banana rolls, CoolSculpting body contouring treatment can help you eliminate them. The technology is aimed at the extra fat accumulated in that region so you don't have to deal with banana rolls again.

What Is CoolSculpting? How Does It Work?

Under the buttocks is one of the most hated problem areas of the body

CoolSculpting is a form of the fat-reduction method commonly known as cryolipolysis. The FDA-approved method uses freezing temperatures to break down fat cells, thus, reducing fat in the treated areas. The cold does not damage the skin or surrounding tissues, making CoolSculpting safer than other body sculpting methods. 

During the procedure, an expert practitioner vacuums the skin and fatty tissue of the banana rolls into the applicator, and the CoolSculpting device cools the fat cells in order to destroy them. The freezing temperatures numb the site, although you may feel a cooling sensation.

A CoolSculpting session for banana rolls can typically take about one hour, depending on your desired goals and the amount of accumulated fat. Since there is no damage to the skin, this process has no downtime.

The results should be evident after a couple months of your treatment but may take as many as 4–6 months.

What Does the Research Say About CoolSculpting Body Contouring?

Research from 2015 analyzed 19 studies of CoolSculpting or cryolipolysis and it was found that this fat-freezing method is relatively effective and safe for removing fat from the body. As per the analysis published in the Aesthetic Surgery Journal, only 12 out of 1,445 people (less than 1%) reported some type of complications after cryolipolysis. The most common complications included swelling, redness, and bruising in the treatment areas or surrounding tissue.

Another study found that this body contouring treatment does help remove excess fat and cellulite.

What Benefits Does CoolSculpting Offer Over Other Fat Reduction Methods?

Studies show that CoolSculpting can reduce the fat layer by 20–24%, making it one of the best non-invasive fat reduction methods. It is highly effective for areas around the abdomen, love handles, back, flanks, under bra, and banana rolls. 

Clinically Proven Fat Reduction 

CoolSculpting is the only FDA-approved and non-invasive fat-removing treatment that anyone, irrespective of age and gender, can use.

Natural-Looking Results 

Other fat reduction methods can also help you eliminate banana rolls, but most patients don't get natural-looking results. CoolSculpting has better skin contact, resulting in more natural-looking results.

Completely Personalized 

Everyone has a different preference; some prefer a rounder butt, while some people want something a little flatter. With CoolSculpting, you can discuss your exact preferences with your practitioner to get your desired results. 

Cost Effective 

CoolSculpting for banana rolls is more affordable when compared to some invasive treatments. There is no surgeon involved in the process, you don't need to be put under, and you can leave immediately following treatment so you have less downtime and pay less to get your desired results.

Pain-Free 

The biggest benefit of CoolSculpting is that it's pain-free. You may feel a slight pulling sensation during the treatment and some patients may also develop swelling afterward. However, there is no pain or long recovery time. 

Long-Lasting Results 

Invasive fat reduction methods may look better to some people because they can last forever. However, it is merely a misconception. If your body starts making new fat cells, they may again accumulate. 

CoolSculpting offers long-lasting results, and you can opt for this painless treatment again if your body starts generating new fat cells as you age.

Works Well for Other Areas 

Besides banana rolls, CoolSculpting helps you get rid of fat accumulated in:

Shorter Sessions 

An average session of CoolSculpting can last around 45–60 minutes. Thus, you don't have to skip your work day or postpone other important responsibilities. 

Whether you are looking to slim down, tone up, remove stubborn belly fat, treat cellulite, or simply enjoy a smoother figure, CoolSculpting should be on top of your list of things to try.

What Can I Expect Before, During, and After the Treatment?

CoolSculpting may be a bit of a mystery, especially when you see those ads and billboards that don't contain much information. Some people are skeptical about actually getting results, but the controlled cooling method does work.

Here's what you can expect from CoolSculpting for banana rolls – before, during, and after the treatment.

Before the Treatment 

The first step to CoolSculpting for banana roll fat removal is a thorough consultation. The dermatologist or other provider will ask you about your history to determine several things, such as your desired body goals.

Then, a team will take measurements and photos of your body's current state. Most importantly, dermatologists will assess your banana roll fat to ensure it's eligible for CoolSculpting. 

Furthermore, our team will explain the entire fat reduction process to you, and you can ask your questions before going further.

During the CoolSculpting Session 

Before the session, you may be asked to change into loose clothes because the weight loss procedure involves using a gel pad. Markings will be made on the treatment area after determining your natural body shape and desired look. 

You'll then be asked to lie on the treatment bed and get comfortable. There's no need to be nervous during the treatment as it's completely non-invasive and pain-free. Going further, a team of dermatologists and specialists places a cool and wet gel pad on the treatment area, and a suction applicator is applied over it.

Watch this short reel to see what happens during a CoolSculpting fat reduction treatment.

After the Treatment 

Immediately after the CoolSculpting session ends, you may feel tingly, itchy, or swollen in the treatment area. However, this is a non-surgical treatment and there is no downtime. 

You can return to daily life activities or work right away if you wish (ask your care team first to be sure). It is advised to avoid heavy exercise for about two days of the treatment. You should also stay hydrated and avoid blood-thinning agents like alcohol.

Within a few days, you should be recovered from all symptoms and pain sensations. 

When Can I See the Results?

You can expect the results to appear between a few weeks to a few months, depending on factors like the amount of fat frozen and the number of treatment sessions. You'll start seeing the results as your body gets rid of the dead fat cells through the lymphatic system and liver. 

How Long Does CoolSculpting Last?

CoolSculpting works by destroying the fat cells present in your body, and those exterminated fat cells won't return. Studies suggest that the results of CoolSculpting can last for at least 6–9 years. 

However, the longevity of the results depends on several internal and external factors, such as the production of new fat cells, your lifestyle after the treatment, and more. The best thing about CoolSculpting fat reduction is that you can opt for the treatment again to prevent the fat from building up. 

✍️ Pro Tip: A healthy and active lifestyle will help you make the results last longer.

Is CoolSculpting Safe? Can It Get Rid of Banana Rolls?

As per a study, CoolSculpting body contouring treatment is safe and effective for removing stubborn fat from banana rolls. To date, more than 4 million body sculpting procedures have been performed worldwide, leaving most patients happy and with the body goals they wanted to achieve.

The procedure is FDA-approved and is backed by hundreds of clinical studies that prove its efficacy and safety. CoolSculpting is one of the safest treatments available to get rid of banana rolls. Unlike with cosmetic surgery, it has no downtime or recovery time, and you can return to normal activities right after the treatment.

How Much Fat Can CoolSculpting Body Contouring Treatment Freeze Off?

Typically, this body fat-reducing treatment can freeze off approximately 20–25% of the fat cells in the treated area. Nevertheless, you must understand that individual results may vary depending on several factors, such as the amount of subcutaneous fat accumulated in the targeted fat cells.

Targeting smaller areas of the body using CoolSculpting treatment can freeze up to 70-80% of the subcutaneous fat.
