there has to be some kind of surgery that does it…
around your butt, hips, thighs, ect.
and how much would that cost?
Some Lipo techniques can improve the appearance of cellulite and can help promote skin tightening, however the degree to which each patient will see improvement is uncertain. Some patients see remarkable changes in their cellulite and others will see no change. Because the amount of cellulite improvement you may (or may not) see cannot be predicted, lipo is not considered a treatment for cellulite. If you are over age 60 and have very little skin elasticity or have undergone a massive weight loss, your skin my have permanent wrinkling that cannot be fixed.
Exercise and diet may play a larger role in getting rid of cellulite than Lipo. Liposuction, diet, and exercise may be your best bet. Stretch marks depends on the individual. Some creams can help the marks go away, again, exercise and tightening the skin seam to help most. I would suggest to start with diet, water, and exercise and do what you can. Then use Lipo. For some people no amount of exercise will eliminate fat in certain areas. Building muscle may work the best in terms of tightening the skin, ridding cellulite, and reducing fat.
Cost for lipo varies, expect $3000-$15,000 for butt, hips, and full thighs. The MD that does it makes a huge difference in the outcome so do your research and then do more research. Get more than one quote. Try liposculpture and other newer procedures that do less harm. Some clinics will now finance the procedures for as low as $99 a month.
I've also been eating very well, small portioned meals for that amount of time. I've been going to the gym 3 times a week, doing pilates, yoga, and a lot of cardio. How soon can i expect to see results?
The best result will be you'll feel great, in addition to reducing cellulite.
Results vary. Time is not the main issue though…remember, you're in this for life. Good luck!
Should I be working out more and trying to burn more calories? Is there a specific exercise that you could suggest to target the problem?
Any suggestions would be a blessing!
Understand what cellulite is. Cellulite is a fatty substance that is found under your connective tissues. As it accumulates it pushes against the connective tissues and makes the skin pucker and ripple.
Start drinking a lot of water – I mean a lot! At least 10 8oz glasses of filtered water daily. If we're going to get rid of that cellulite and the toxins stored in it we need to give your body a way to push it out.
Develop an exercise program that is designed to help remove your body fat content. Exercise is an effective way of reducing the amount of cellulite that you have. Effective exercise programs will need to include cardio, strength training and flexibility training. You should try working out at least 3 to 4 times a week.
Tone up your muscles with strength building and resistance exercises. Studies have shown that improving muscle firmness can help you get rid of cellulite. Concentrate extra time on muscle beneath the areas with lots of cellulite, but create a total body workout for best results.
Stick to a low calorie diet. Cellulite is not exclusive to overweight women, but eating healthy will keep the size of your fat cells small. This is not enough to get rid of cellulite, but it will contribute to the solution.
Buy a moisturizer that has a sunless tanner mixed in. The moisturizer will hydrate you skin and reduce the severity of the rippling. The sunless tanner will darken you skin making your cellulite less visible. This is a great cosmetic trick to hide cellulite while you work on lowering your body fat content.
Shop for a quality cellulite treatment cream. There are a lot of these products on the market. You want to look for a cream that contains antioxidants and anti-inflammatory ingredients.
Consider topical creams to that tighten the surface of the skin or the connective tissue beneath the skin. Amino acids, seaweed and ginkgo-biloba extracts all act as skin tighteners. Look for one or more of these ingredients on different anti-cellulite products.
Don't stop using topical treatments or the effects will wear off. These are only temporary fixes.
Try Aloe Vera cream. Many people report using a good Aloe Vera cream twice a day helps reduce the appearance of cellulite.
Try skin brushing. This technique is very simple and relatively inexpensive. Simply use a loofah sponge or a soft body brush and scrub your hips, thighs and belly. This not only helps you to exfoliate, but it also stimulates blood flow and supports lymph functions. This will help to minimize the appearance of cellulite.
A multi-faceted approach works best when trying to remove cellulite. Try matching a diet and exercise program with topical creams that include anti-oxidants.
Once a week put a generous layer of castor oil on the skin over the parts you are working on, put the old PJs on that you don't care about and go to sleep like that. This helps to increase your lymphatic drainage and get rid of trapped toxins!
Don't get discouraged – change takes a while, but this will help you lose weight too!
Best results can be seen after about 3 months of treatment.
Quit smoking (if u do). Many smokers have large concentrations of cellulite, making researchers think there may be a connection between smoking and cellulite.
Cut caffeine from your diet. Unfortunately, one of the toxins in cellulite appears to be from caffeine. However, many anti-cellulite creams use caffeine. Caffeine if applied to the outside of skin may help reduce cellulite. Rubbing coffee grinds on cellulite is a popular choice for many people, though researchers question its efficacy.

Cellulite is caused by two things, 1) Fatty tissue and 2) Connective tissue.
The first can be taken care of primarily by diet and working out. Drink your fair share of water, don't eat too much and work out to maintain your metabolism.
The second is more problematic and gets worse as you age because collagen is not regenerated so the tissue becomes less elastic. Also, most people gain weight as they age because of a less active life style and a drop in metabolism. This is where Velasmooth or mesotherapy come in handy.
The attached site, http://www.healthyskinportal.c… , has more info.
Exercise and losing weight are the only things that will get rid of cellulite. Some of the spas offer body wraps, but without underlying muscle tone and reducing fat, it is a waste of money.
Wish I had a magic bullet, alas, it is not so.
Good luck!
While this can be of a hereditary tendency, it can however be controlled by a fat reducing regimen.
This include1. strict diet like the avoidance of high calorie food and drink, and2. regular cardio exercises i.e. exercises that increases your heart rate up to maximum, 80% of (220-your age) for a resonable duration.
Hope this answers your question.
Now I'm not so sure
