Although the exact cause is not fully understood, this combination of fat and connective tissue is what creates the appearance of cellulite and is completely normal.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b\/><\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>But if most of us have cellulite, why is it more visible in some than others? <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b\/><\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><em>&#8220;The higher the amount of fat in your body, the thicker the layer of fat under the skin, so the underlying tissue cuts into the skin,&#8221;<\/em><span>    Selezena says.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b\/><\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>That means your dress size does not mean you will have cellulite. <\/span><span>Genetics and lifestyle also play a role<\/span><span>Cellulite can run in families, and a sedentary lifestyle, unhealthy diet, or smoking can make dimples more visible.<\/span><span> <em>&#8220;Furthermore, as we age, the skin loses its elasticity, which leads to the worse appearance of cellulite,&#8221;<\/em><\/span><span>    added Selezneva.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\"><span>Where on the body can cellulite dimples be found<\/span><\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>Some areas of the body are more prone to cellulite than others. Thighs and bums are the most common areas, but cellulite on the legs and stomach is also very common.<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>These areas tend to store fat differently and are influenced by circulation, connective tissue structure, and skin thickness, all of which affect the appearance of cellulite.<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span><\/span><\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\"><span>Can you get rid of cellulite?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>If you are wondering if cellulite removal is possible, you are not alone.
