A Guide to Surgical Removal of Cellulite

Cellulite is a condition affecting many women, where skin of abdomen, lower limbs and pelvic region become layered or dimpled due to hormonal changes. Causes of cellulite are not well understood, and most experts agree that it can be caused by changes in physiology and metabolism including gender specific dimorphic skin architecture, vascular changes, alteration of connective tissue structure and inflammatory processes.

Surgical Cellulite Removal Procedure

The studies have indicated that the most beneficial therapy for cellulite removal is to control the lifestyle factors, yet there are numerous therapies, procedures and products available in the market that claim to help people get rid of cellulite.

Liposuction is the surgical procedure to get rid of the fat deposits from under the skin and shape up the body. Vacuum-suction canula is used to remove the fat, or ultrasound probe is used to emulsify the fat and is then removed with suction.

Laser is also used for surgical cellulite removal where radio frequency waves are directed under the skin to the depth of 1.5cms. The waves heat up the fatty cells and effectively melt them. This procedure is combined with deep skin massage and skin smoothing to reduce the dimpled look.

Lower body lift is also an effective surgical cellulite removal procedure in which the incision around the entire circumference of buttock and abdominal area is made so that excess skin can be removed and the whole flank can be lifted. It is a major surgical procedure, with lengthy recovery period and noticeable scar.

Other less or non-invasive methods to deal with cellulite are fat injections, Endermologie and Mesotherapy.
