Fat can make cellulite worse, but cellulite is also found on “skinny” women, with 90% of all women developing cellulite at some point. Liposuction is ineffective at getting rid of cellulite and in some extreme cases can make it worse. If cellulite is your primary concern, speak to Dr. Galiano about treatments that may improve the appearance.
