Does liposuction treat cellulite?
The “cellulite” appearance is caused by enlarged fat cells in combination with the anchoring apparatus from the dermis of the skin to the fascial covering of the underlying muscle. There are more such attachments in men, resulting in less contour irregularity known as cellulite. There is a genetic predisposition to cellulite. Liposuction removes some of this cellulite fat, but the attachments and irregularities are difficult to eliminate entirely. Sometimes, these surface irregularities may become more apparent after liposuction. Weight loss by dieting is the best way to decrease cellulite.
