Liposuction Does Not Get Rid Of Cellulite

There are many misconceptions about what liposuction can do for you body if you feel you are overweight and not looking your best.

The thing to remember is that it is not some miracle procedure. It is important to understand exactly what to expect from liposuction before you ever choose to go through with it.

Many women suffer with cellulite, and believe that going through liposuction will ‘cure’ their cellulite.

Cellulite is an unfortunate problem that many women will struggle with at some point in their lives. No matter how much exercise you do, or how strict a diet, cellulite can strike the fittest of the fit.

It is genetic, hormonal and really depends on the aging process.  It can also be affected by diet. The unattractive orange peel skin can be budged with exercise, and some creams are said to help.

As for liposuction,  it can help contour a woman’s shape and give it a more slim appearance, but it can not do anything to get rid of cellulite.

Liposuction can not remove cellulite, but if you really feel it is a problem, you could try some of the creams and lotions that claim to get rid of cellulite.

But a better suggestion might be to  give yourself daily massages on the areas that have cellulite to help improve the circulation, and budge the impurities lurking under your skin.

Cellulite can collect on the belly, butt and thighs, so look at your worst areas and focus the most attention on them. Eat a low fat diet, and work on exercises to keep your trouble areas thin and toned. Yoga can also help you get a nice, lean, long look.

Liposuction is not a fast fix to get rid of flab.  It can help give you more of a contoured look, but it will not really help if you continue to eat as you’ve always done. The fat will just pile back on. Better to cultivate more muscles, especially ain your legs, with cycling, stair climbing, and other exercises which target that area. Muscle is 3 times more compact than fat, so there will be little room for those unsightly bulges if you keep your legs long and lean and stick with a low fat lifestyle.
