Cellulite

Cellulite is fat that is deposited in pockets just below the surface of the skin. It occurs around the hips, thighs, and buttocks.

What Are the Causes?

Collagen fibers that connect fat to the skin often stretch, break down, or pull tight, allowing fat cells just under of the surface of the skin to bulge out. These bulges create the rippled look of cellulite. Environmental factors that contribute to Cellulite include:

  • Genetics
  • Poor diet or "fad" dieting
  • Slow metabolism
  • Hormone changes
  • Dehydration
  • Smoking
  • Obesity
