Cellulite refers to the pitting of the skin that is observed in the skin especially in the thigh area of women who have undergone weight gain and/or subsequent loss. Clients who have dense vertical septa (fibrous cables which extend from the skin to the deeper muscle) are more likely to show cellulite. When fat increases in volume, it pushes against the skin which may be tethered by these tight fibrous bands. Subsequently, if the client undergoes weight loss, the skin can loosen around these attachments can result in cellulite. The appearance of cellulite can be avoided by breaking up areas of fibrous attachment using a special cannula or by finger fracture technique by your surgeon. In addition, there are specific sites, referred to as zones of adherence, that are known to have a high density of these fibers in which liposuction should be avoided. Recent interest in lasers and heating elements have to lead to supposed treatments of cellulite, such as endermologie, but none of these modalities is successful long-term.
