CAUSES OF CELLULITE

“Cellulite is caused by bands of fibrous tissue that connect the muscle to the skin” says Alan Gold, MD, President of the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) in an article dated 21 Jan 2009.

“If these bands are tight and the fat between the muscle and the skin bulges out between them there will be dimpling over each of those bands.  There is nothing otherwise special or unique about the fat itself in those areas.” 

Cellulite stems from genetic predisposition, hormonal changes and weight gain.  Almost all women, fat or slender, regardless of race or origin (as well as some men) have cellulite.
