Unsure if this is cellulite, lax skin, lymphedema or a combo. What procedure(s) best for lifted knees and smooth thighs? (Photo)

Asked By:maddy3224 in Chicago, Illinois

Hello! I'm a very petite (5ft), thin (98lb,yet flabby) 47 yo. I have had bothersome cellulite above my knee (and some back of legs) since I was young. Over the last few years, my knees have become less tight, and the celllulite above my knees has spread, and begun to look lumpy up my whole thigh (and some in butt/back). What could this be and what procedures would help? When I pull my skin up, it looks much smoother. Thanks!!
