If a client wishes to have liposuction to treat their cellulite, what should they be informed about regarding the effectiveness of the procedure?

Liposuction is primarily designed for the removal of excess fat from specific areas of the body rather than targeting the structural issues that cause cellulite. While it may change the overall body contour by eliminating fat, it does not address the underlying causes of cellulite, such as fibrous connective tissue and skin texture irregularities. Therefore, clients should be informed that while liposuction may improve the overall appearance of certain body areas, it does not cure cellulite or eliminate the dimpled skin often associated with it. This is crucial so that clients have realistic expectations about the outcomes of the procedure and understand that other treatments may be necessary to address cellulite specifically.
