Cellulite

Many women and some men suffer from a constitutionally provoked change in their subcutaneous fat tissue, whereby dimples appear on the skin’s surface. Cellulite, as it’s known, is usually found on the thighs and buttocks, is more prominent in weight gain and produces, when pressed together, the all-too-familiar ‘orange peel’ effect.

Creams and lotions tend to be unsuccessful in shifting cellulite. A balanced diet as recommended by a nutrionist, weight loss (if necessary) and targeted fitness training with an experienced fitness trainer and special massages can reduce the cellulite. Als apparative Massage mit zumindest zeitweisem Erfolg wird die Technik der sog. Endermologie angesehen.

Longer term success, however, is more often delivered as a positive by-product of liposuction as the cellulite dimples are flattened through the removal of fat cells. Fatty tissue can even be further dissected during liposuction in order to further improve the tightening of the skin. Stubborn depressions can also be smoothed out using lipostructure according to Coleman, liporecycling according to Sattler or liposhifting according to Blugerman
