Complex problem: Cellulite is due to a complex interaction of several anatomic components characterized by fibrous attachements which tether the skin to the deep musculofascial structures and localized adiposity with propensity for lymphatic fluid accumulation which is aggravated by skin laxity. Your condition may be worsened by impaired lymphatic circulation, loose skin & excess fat.
