What is cellulite?

The orange peel appearance of the skin, usually in the hip and thigh areas, is called cellulite, or hydrolipodystrophy in medicine.

Cellulite is not ordinary fatty tissue. It forms especially when the fatty tissue close to the skin is damaged. The breakdown of the fibers (collagen and elastin) surrounding the fatty tissue causes the fat cells to be compressed into small lobules, resulting in the orange peel appearance.

While cellulite is very rare in men, regardless of their weight, it affects 90-95% of women and is concentrated mostly in the hips, thighs, inner knees and ankles, backs of calves, and upper thighs.
