Does Liposuction Cause an Increase of Cellulite?

Liposuction and Cellulite?
Thank you for the question.
“Cellulite" refers to irregularities that occurred on the surface of the skin. Liposuction will not cure or necessarily cause cellulite; it will remove fat and reduce contour. Patients with severe cases of cellulite will not benefit from liposuction surgery and may require skin excision (for example tummy tuck or thigh lifting) to achieve the desired results.
I hope this helps.

Liposuction is not a treatment for cellulite

Liposuction and cellulite.
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.

Liposuction and cellulite

Liposuction HAS been attempted to smooth cellulite but without uniform success. Notable efforts in liposuction included undermining the dimpled areas with a sharp "Pickle Fork" device to cut any tissue under the...
