Cellulite

   Cellulite occurs in the area where fatty tissue exists and under lower layer of skin. Cellulites appear like an orange peel in upper side of skin and cause women to lose their self confidence. Fatty cells widens as fatty cells store excessive fat and due to the effect of oestrogen hormone. Widening of fatty cells means excessive spreading of fatty tissues. This spreading causes body to keep excessive water and accordingly weakening of bleed circulation by effecting hyodermic connective tissue. Less oxygen reaches to tissues in area as bleed circulation weakens. As a result of this tissues lost their elasticity and skin surface turns into a rough appearance. Unhealthy life conditions, malnutrition, excessive alcohol usage, over smoking, physical inactivity may cause cellulite in long term.

   Various kinds of methods were suggested for treatment of cellulite, but any of these methods are not successful alone. Various creams, massages, lipolysis, mesotherapy and Carboxy therapy are among these choices. Thus combine applications must be performed by analysing problems of the person carefully.

   The most important method among surgical methods is Liposuction. Liposuction is removal of fat with vacuum. But special cannulas are used in liposuction for cellulite. small knifes that are at the end of these cannulas used for cutting bands that combines lower layers with skin those are cause cellulite appearance. These bands compress tissue layer among skin and lower layer and so that they cause cellulite appearance. As these bands lose their function in this operation the orange peel appearance will also be removed. We suggest our patients to use corset for 4 weeks after operation.
