Wikipedia defines it cellulite (also known as “gynoid lipodystrophy”, “edematous fibrous panniculopathy”, “edematous adiposis”, “edematous-fibro-sclerotic panniculopathy”, “dermopanniculosis deformans”, “status protrusus cutis”, “liposclerosis”, “orange peel skin”, “quilted skin”, etc.) as a topographical manifestation of the skin associated with depressions or introflexions that are frequent in the pelvic and abdominal area, hips, buttocks and thighs.

It can also be associated with nodules in the subcutaneous adipose tissue and, in rarer cases, with inflammatory conditions.
Beyond the purely aesthetic aspect, cellulite is a dysfunction caused by poor blood circulation that is unable to oxygenate the tissues and spaces between fat cells that tend to swell and give rise to an inflammation, which is noticeable due to its orange peel or quilted blanket effect.
