Can you get more cellulite

[antoniojones1968]

I've always had cellulite on my upper thighs but I'm starting to notice more. Is that just a part of aging or is my weight gain causing more? If I lose the weight, will they look of the cellulite decrease? I know it won't ever go away but I'm hoping it will look less unsightly

Yes, you can get more cellulite with more age and with more weight. Losing weight may help a bit, and so can regularly moisturizing your skin as well as engaging in exercises to help make your skin more taught, but, pretty much if it's there, it's not going away. The best way to prevent it is to stop gaining more weight because I think it's fatty deposits that cause cellulite.

You can always get more cellulite LOL. That said, getting rid of it is another problem altogether...If only getting rid of it was as easy as getting more of if

While I agree that you can always get more cellulite, I want to add to this question and ask, does cellulite only appear on the back of your arms, butt and thighs or can you actually get cellulite on other parts of your body, too?

Usually it just hangs around those areas. While it can go to other parts of the body, usually it appears in the most fatty and flabbiest of areas. antoniojones1968, age and weight gain are definitley contributing factors of more cellulite, as is smoking, little exercise, sitting or standing in one position for a long time, and wearing tight underwear that may restrict blood flow.

Thanks tracy1976. I admit, this is a bit depressing to learn, but I'm glad to know that at least it's possible to avoid accumulating more of it. I mean, it's a little weird for me to have so much of it..I know it's more common in women, but being a man certainly hasn't stopped me from getting "orange peel" skin :(
