What to do if i have little fat on my legs but still have cellulite?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Blame your genetics: Cellulite, unfortunately, is not necessarily related to how much fat is present in your thighs. It is a difficult problem in which there are fibrous bands attached to the skin pulling it towards the deeper tissue, thus causing the dimpling appearance of cellulite. Evolving technologies, such as lasers, have demonstrated mixed results in helping treat cellulite. Try seeing a plastic surgeon
