"In vitro and in vivo studies also demonstrated that women had a diffuse pattern of irregular and discontinuous connective tissue immediately below the dermis, but this same layer of connective tissue was smooth and continuous in men. This connective tissue layer was more irregular and discontinuous in affected versus unaffected individuals. No significant differences were noted in subcutaneous adipose tissue morphology, lipolytic responsiveness, or regional blood flow between affected and unaffected sites within individuals. There is a sexual dimorphism in the structural characteristics of subdermal connective tissue that predisposes women to develop the irregular extrusion of adipose tissue into the dermis, which characterizes cellulite. These gender-related differences are diffuse and not localized only to affected areas. There is no evidence of any primary role for adipose tissue physiology, blood flow, or biochemistry in the etiology of cellulite, although the connective tissue of the female thigh is structured to accentuate differences in small subdermal adipose tissue depots."

Det är fettförlust som vanligt som gäller, men hör man till dom med ovan beskrivna oregelbundenheter, kommer dessa inte att försvinna samtidigt som fettförlusten och det lär bli svårt att helt bli kvitt problemet.
"The amount of fat in the body is determined by the individual's eating and exercise habits, but the distribution of fat in the body is determined by heredity. In most cases reduction of a particular part can be accomplished only as part of an overall weight-reduction program. Endermologie may temporarily improve the appearance of dimpled areas, but the procedure is time-consuming and expensive. Liposuction may permanently help in some cases."
