Cellulite affects more than 80% females and is an aesthetically troublesome issue. The clinical manifestation is nodules and fibrosis in subcutaneous areas of the pelvic region, predominantly on the buttocks and thighs. The etiology is multifactorial consisting of genetic tendency, hormonal disorders, and endothelial disruption. There is no satisfactorily proven theory for the clinical presentation and the treatment modalities of cellulite. There are limited number of peer-reviewed studies outlining the effective cellulite treatment protocols. The chapter summarizes the probable pathophysiology, classification, and various treatment options that are documented in literature. Newer, emerging treatment options for cellulite are also mentioned that can lead to future successful outcomes in cellulite removal.
