Cellulite at 24 - is it normal to have this at my age? (photos)

Question

Hello, I have recently turned 24 and noticed cellulite under my buttocks and saddlebags, as well as if I push the skin on my thighs. My first question is, is it normal to have this at this age? I’m also concerned if it’s early signs of Lipedema? I have always been heavier in my thighs and have struggled to lose weight in the area I have recently tried Exilis and haven’t gotten results yet. What could be going on? Thank you

Morpheus 8 is a non-invasive skin and soft tissue tightening treatment that is consistently amazing in our patients. We use the Morpheus to exact fractional induced RF into the skin or tissue in order to tighten collagen and stimulate contraction of the tissue. For acne scars, it is quite useful to build collagen in patients who have atrophic scars but is not very productive for ice-pick scars which require TCA Cross. For tissue tightening, Morpheus is ideal for the face and neck and we often combine it with CO2 laser or Ultherapy to further enhance results. Chemical peels and skin resurfacing should be done at least 5 to 7 days after, but can be performed earlier, depending on treatment severity. Avoid exfoliating skin treatments before Morpheus and expect a period of 2-4 weeks for skin contraction to set in.
