Small Dents and More Cellulite 2 Years After Outer Thigh Lipo

12 months after outer-thigh lipo noticed what looked like an increased incidence of cellulite. Short, not teeny, shorts were not an option anymore. I thought it might go away with exercise.

If that is the case, let's say it is, what kinds of options are there, given cost time effectiveness. Please help!
