AB  - Cellulite  describes  an  orange  peel  type  dimpling  of  skin  in  the  upper  posterior  thighs  and  buttocks  (Fig.  58.1).  Although  there  is  no  associated  morbidity  or  mortality,  it  is  among  the  most  common  cosmetic  complaints  among  female  patients.  It  is  present  in  nearly  all  postpubertal  females,  regardless  of  weight.  It  is  best  thought  of  as  a  female  secondary  sexual  characteristic.  Importantly,  treatments  for  fat  removal  and  cellulite  should  be  considered  distinct.  Effective  treatments  for  fat  removal  typically  have  no  benefit  for  cellulite.
