Is surgery effective on cellulite?
Is surgery effective on cellulite?
Not really. Although liposuction has proven effective in taking off inches, it does not counter cellulite itself. Liposuction removes collections of fatty tissue from the legs, buttocks, abdomen, back, arms, face, and neck areas. It uses a 'vacuuming' technique to remove this fatty tissue, leaving minimal scarring. Because liposuction does not change the structure of the skin, it can't eliminate cellulite forever. Liposuction is a costly surgical procedure that can also hinder the body's natural circulation and waste-elimination processes while the body heals.
For a temporary fix, try models' favourite solution: Rub wet ground coffee on cellulite-prone areas of the body. Apparently it works wonders before photo shoots!
