Can surgery such as liposuction or smart lipo remove cellulite?
Liposuction and smart lipo are surgery solutions that aim to remove deep, “storage” fat from the body. This fat is found underneath what is called the superficial fascia, which in simple terms is just a layer or connective tissue sheath, that separates the skin from the deep fat and muscles. Cellulite in contrast is fat enclosed inside the skin and therefore can not be removed with a surgical procedure, as this would require the removal of the skin itself – not a good idea obviously… Therefore smart lipo or liposuction ads promising to remove celulite with these procedures are completely unjustified and misleading. Those procedures do remove the underlying layer of “flab” but they leave cellulite itself untouched.
