Belly fat is not the only trouble area many wish to improve or get rid of. Butt fat/banana rolls or the stubborn fat bulges between the lower buttocks and upper thighs are another concern too, as they are hard to lose despite diet and exercise. They can also make your butt look misshapen, resulting in a saggy or older appearance.
If you are concerned about banana rolls too and are wondering how you can get rid of them without needles or surgery, continue reading.
Banana roll or butt fat is a type of stubborn fat that accumulates underneath the buttocks and above the upper thighs. It got its name because it forms a crescent or banana-like shape pocket of fat below the crease of the buttocks. And as previously mentioned, it creates saggy glutes that some people find unflattering.
While banana rolls are more common to those who are overweight, skinny people or those who are in their normal weight can also have this concern, depending on their fat composition and weight distribution. This can then lead to an even more frustrating situation, as it can make it challenging to fit into clothes or pants comfortably.
A number of factors are at play including:
Regular diet and exercise help, as well as aesthetic procedures such as fat reduction and body shaping treatments. A surgical approach like liposuction can make a significant effect, but this involves longer recovery and other side effects. Not everyone is also a candidate or willing to go under the knife.
At Cutis, we have the recently launched CoolSculpting Elite in Singapore. This is a redesigned fat freezing system with C-shaped applicators that fit the body’s natural curves and feature a gentle vacuum technology. It can safely and effectively target and eliminate fat cells in less time than traditional CoolSculpting treatments.
CoolSculpting Elite in Singapore uses Cryolipolysis or controlled cooling technology to freeze fat cells, triggering apoptosis or natural cell death. The treated cells are flushed and cleared through the lymphatic system and processed as waste in the liver. This then gradually reduces that fat layer thickness in the treatment area.
CoolSculpting Elite also has added features that can take your fat freezing treatment further. These include:
Apart from CoolSculpting Elite and other non-invasive fat reduction procedures, we at Cutis also have ZField Dual for non-surgical body shaping. It uses electromagnetic pulses to stimulate muscle contractions in the area of concern. It can be paired with fat freezing to enhance your results.
Using high-frequency electromagnetic energy, ZField Dual induces targeted muscle contractions. It enables about 27,000 contractions during a single treatment, which also forces the body to adapt to extreme conditions. This then causes the body to strengthen the muscle fibers for improved fat burning and muscle conditioning.
ZField Dual can help:
This procedure is suitable if you want to tone and sculpt your butt. As it stimulates involuntary muscle contractions in the gluteal region, you can expect fuller, firmer, and lifted buttocks without cuts or needles.
