How to get rid of banana roll fat
Banana roll fat removal, West Malling, Kent
The term ‘banana roll’ is used to describe the stubborn pockets of fat that accumulate just below the buttocks and above the thighs, creating a crescent-shaped roll that can be difficult to eliminate. This type of subcutaneous fat is often resistant to diet and exercise, making it a persistent problem for many people who wish to achieve a more toned and defined physique.
Banana roll fat can prevent you from achieving a curvaceous behind because it changes the shape and curvature of the buttocks. Fortunately, it is possible to get rid of banana roll fat non-surgically, and one technique which has proven to be effective is CoolSculpting, a non-invasive fat reduction treatment that has gained popularity in recent years. In this blog post, we will explore what banana roll fat is, how it develops, and how CoolSculpting can be used to eliminate it.
What is banana roll fat?
Banana roll fat is a type of subcutaneous fat that accumulates in the lower buttocks and upper thigh area, creating a crescent-shaped roll that can be unsightly. Banana rolls fat also has a tendency to form asymmetrically. This means that many find that they have more severe skin creasing and/or fatty deposits on the one side – making the whole problem that much more obvious. Non-surgical treatments can help target fat in this zone with expert precision, helping to get rid of it as fast as possible.
How does banana roll fat develop?
Banana roll fat can develop due to a variety of factors, including genetics, hormonal changes, and lifestyle choices. It is more common in women than in men, and tends to accumulate as we age and our metabolism slows down. Additionally, sitting for prolonged periods can also contribute to the development of banana roll fat, as it causes the muscles in the area to weaken.
Eliminating banana rolls with CoolSculpting
Unlike more invasive procedures such as liposuction, CoolSculpting doesn’t physically destroy fat or surrounding tissues, which can be very traumatic. Instead, the fat cells are exposed to extremely low temperatures that cause them to shrink and die – however, the surrounding tissues remain unharmed. Once the fat cells have died, they are eliminated by the body and the definition, shape and smoothness of that area is improved.
CoolSculpting uses the technique of precisely controlled cooling, known as cryolipolysis, to focus on the fat cells under the skin, leaving the surface unaffected. It works by destroying the subdermal fat cells in particular areas using a cooling applicator. Once these fat cells have been treated, the body begins to process the frozen matter, which is eliminated over a few months. The procedure permanently destroys the targeted cells, so once they’re gone, they’re gone for good.
Are you a good candidate?
CoolSculpting works best for people with a body mass index (BMI) of less than 25, within 20 pounds of their ideal weight. You’ll also need more than ⅔ of an inch of pinchable fat to fit into the CoolSculpting applicator.
The best candidate is of a relatively healthy weight with small problem areas that are resistant to diet and exercise. Since banana rolls are a relatively small area, you will most likely need just one or two treatments to see significant results.
