Genetics weight?: Genetics and anatomy play the greatest role in the development of cellulite. Excessive weight may also aggravate and make an underlying predisposition for cellulite appear worse.

Causes are the same: Cellulite is caused by the bulging of fat within spaces created by fibrous connections between the skin and deeper structures. Because the space is confined, as fat cells grow, the bulges between these septations became more pronounced. These effects can happen at any age.
