Tags: age 25-34, outer thighs, 110-129 lbs, 5 ft 4 in to 5 ft 7 in, cellulite, dents

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. Two yrs now and I realize, there's still many little ripples. Noticably unattractive. I'm 30, 5'5" about 110 lbs cellulite incease seems strange. Could it be that the doc took too much out? If that is the case, let's say it is, what kinds of options are there, given cost time effectiveness. Please help!

liposuction may not improve cellulite

Liposuction may improve, worsen or make no change with cellulite. Fat injections can be done to improve some small and focal areas at times, with good results, while other situations do best by not having any treatment. Some non-invasive techniques such as Velashape and Endermologie can maintain an improved appearance but there is no cure for cellulite.
