What causes cellulite on the buttocks?

Cellulite is often thought of as something that only affects people who are overweight. In reality, virtually anyone can develop cellulite, which is characterized by lumps, bumps, and ripples that typically appear on the buttocks, thighs, or abdomen. Even exceptionally fit and thin individuals often struggle with areas of cellulite. While it is more common among women, men can also have cellulite. Technically speaking, cellulite is the result of fat cells bulging between the fibrous septae that tether the muscle to the skin. Although anyone can develop cellulite, the following factors may make it more likely:

• Being a woman
• Being overweight
• Smoking
• Living a sedentary lifestyle
• Genetics/heredity
• Hormonal conditions

How can you lose cellulite on your buttocks?

Many patients wonder whether weight loss will help get rid of cellulite on the buttocks. Losing weight is certainly a valuable step for improving your overall health and physique, but it will not necessarily improve the appearance of your cellulite. In many cases, cosmetic cellulite reduction treatment is the best option for achieving a smoother, more attractive look. Dr. Khorsandi and the expert team at VIP Plastic Surgery are proud to offer the following nonsurgical cellulite reduction treatments in Las Vegas, NV:

• Thermage®
• Fractora
• VaserShape
• Qwo injections

Thermage, Fractora, and VaserShape involve the use of various energy therapies, including laser or ultrasound, along with suction and massage to promote collagen remodeling and skin tightening. For patients seeking an alternative to laser cellulite reduction, Qwo offers something different.

What is Qwo?

Qwo is a new, cutting-edge product that is FDA approved to treat cellulite in women, specifically in the buttocks. Unlike laser cellulite reduction, which targets fat cells, and mechanical cellulite reduction, which manually severs the fibrous septae, Qwo injections work to enzymatically break down the septae causing cellulite lumps and bumps. Furthermore, Qwo offers a longer-lasting solution for cellulite compared with other methods, which require repeat treatments over time to maintain the results.

During Qwo injections in Las Vegas, Dr. Khorsandi will strategically inject the medication into targeted areas of the buttocks. In most cases, patients require an average of two Qwo sessions to achieve their desired outcome, which should begin to appear about three months after treatment. The results should continue to improve over the course of several months as the Qwo works to deteriorate the fibrous tethers.

How long does Qwo last?

With a healthy diet, consistent exercise routine, and stable weight, patients can enjoy their Qwo results for years to come. Should new cellulite develop due to aging, weight gain, or for any other reason, a repeat Qwo injection can likely help to restore the patient’s original results.
