Cellulite is the name given to the dimpling of skin usually around the buttocks and thighs on females.

Who does it affect?

Cellulite is almost never seen in men but is quite commonly found in females.  The reason for this is the difference in the way the connective tissue (the tissue that holds the fat and skin in place) is orientated in the different sexes.  Interestingly, although cellulite looks worse if you're overweight, even very slim females can have cellulite.
