Beneath the skin is strands of a connective-tissue network, known as septae to hold all your fat in its place. Genetics might determine how tight and strong your septae are woven which can cause your fat to lump out in between it if they are weak. Thus, creating ripples on the surface of your skin which is cellulite.
It’s more common for women to develop cellulite as for men because women’s septae’s are usually less and it’s not so tightly arranged as with men. Another reason is that women’s skin is thinner, and their hormones might affect their septae’s fat cell size and strength. They will first have to lose their fat before they can change the skins inside the structure.
Although half of their fat equation is cellulite, you might think that exercise and a diet to lose weight can work, but it will depend on the elasticity of the skin. Aging and hormones can partially be blamed for skin that isn’t very resilient.
