Banana-Roll Liposuction in Miami, FL
The banana roll is the fat pad just below the buttock crease. It is a small but visually important zone — over-treating causes buttock ptosis and blurred gluteal definition. Precision liposuction, often combined with BBL or posterior-thigh work, produces the best result.

Under-treat, not over-treat
The banana roll partially supports the buttock crease. Aggressive removal drops the buttock, blurring the crease and reducing gluteal projection. Small precise reduction preserves the crease and refines the transition.
Anesthesia
Tumescent + IV sedation; general anesthesia when part of a BBL.

Questions to ask your surgeon
- Do I actually need banana-roll reduction or leave it for buttock support?
- How do you avoid dropping my buttock?
Frequently asked questions
- What is the banana roll?
- The banana-shaped fat pad just below the gluteal crease at the top of the posterior thigh. It contributes to the definition of the buttock-to-thigh transition.
- Should this fat always be removed?
- No. The banana roll partially supports the buttock crease. Aggressive removal can cause a ptotic (drooping) buttock. Small precision reduction is the goal, not aggressive debulking.
- Isolated or combined?
- Usually combined with posterior-thigh or BBL cases to refine the buttock-thigh transition.
- How much does it cost in Miami?
- Isolated banana-roll liposuction in Miami is $2,500–$4,000. As part of a BBL or posterior-thigh case it is included.
- Recovery?
- Sitting restrictions similar to BBL — modified sitting for 2 weeks. Garment 4–6 weeks. Desk work at 5–7 days with a pillow.
