Deposit of
subcutaneous (right under your skin) fat and fibrous/connective tissue that results in dimpled, cottage cheese or
orange peel appearance depending on amount of fat; affects a majority of women but only really fat men. Generally appears in butt and thighs. Even super skinny people can have cellulite as it seems that it is somewhat hereditary or hormonal. Creams and pills can improve the APPEARANCE of cellulite, but it will go back to looking bad when you stop using them.
Liposuction does not remove cellulite. To get rid of cellulite, one must exercise and cut out bad foods, especially ones with preservatives. There is also an expensive treatment known as Endermologie that gets rid of it. If one stays fit, it actually reduces with age.
