Ask Doctor Grover – Is cellulite caused by liposuction?
Liposuction does not cause cellulite, nor does it treat it. In some instances, liposuction could make cellulite appear a bit worse as it may leave the skin looking a bit more ‘loose’ if there is poor elasticity. Newer technologies, such as VelaShape are FDA approved devices using radiofrequency, deep suction massage and infrared laser to help improve the appearance of cellulite.
