Traditionally, liposuction has never been considered a remedy for cellulite. While the body contouring technique can reduce the amount of unwanted fat in an area, it often does not get rid of the cellulite there for several reasons. First, the fat removed during liposuction is generally located deeper subcutaneously. Second, cellulite is not only due to fat. It also has a unique structure which includes trapped toxins and fluids. Therefore, the appearance of cellulite following liposuction may slightly improve, but in many cases, treatment often does the reverse – it makes the cellulite more pronounced.

Smartlipo has been shown to be more successful in the treatment of unwanted subcutaneous fat removal and cellulite reduction. This laser assisted liposuction technique has been proven to tighten the overlying skin in the targeted area, thereby reducing the appearance of cellulite.

For this reason, individuals with cellulite may prefer to undergo Smartlipo rather than another form of liposuction. There are also several treatments available that can reduce the appearance of cellulite after liposuction, the most common being Endermologie.
