Liposuction and cellulite.

Otto Joseph Placik, MD answers: Does Liposuction cause an increase of cellulite?

I am looking to have the procedure done to my thighs (saddle bags) and my hips. I have minimal amount of cellulite on my thighs and get endermology done regularly to keep it that way!

Liposuction generally does not increase nor decrease cellulite. However, if aggressive liposuction is performed in skin with relatively poor laxity, irregularities may occur which can be confused with cellullite.

Unfortunately, we have yet to discover a satisfactory treatment for cellulite. Endermologies has been used both before and after liposuction to minimize cellulite.
