Abstract
Cellulite consists of an orange-peel appearance of the skin. The author discusses the treatment of cellulite by separation of the fibrosis of connective tissue from the dermis using liposuction cannulas, producing a homogenous tissue by breaking the bridges. The uniformity of the skin that is seen postoperatively is the result of uniform distribution of the fat in the affected area. The treatment of cellulite with liposuction cannulas using local tumescent anesthesia is the treatment of choice. It is safe and causes no harm.
