What is considered by most to be the most successful way of cellulite treatment is also the most dangerous. It is suggested by cosmetic surgeons that the only way to get rid of cellulite is to mask it by stretching the skin back over the dimples. This can be done with skin grafts or botulinum injections. Either method has its own drawbacks and can also be fatal. Yet, people are willing to risk their lives for something so inconsequential.
The use of botulinum injection in cosmetic surgery is an old one and usually associated with facial reconstruction and restructuring surgeries. By injecting it into the dermis and epidermis of the skin, it hardens the upper surface and reflects off light better thus reducing the puckered look of cellulite to almost none. Skin grafts simply coat the existing cellulite affected area with skin taken from other places such as the thigh. This new layer is smooth and therefore hides away cellulite. As mentioned earlier the chances of getting complications during and after such surgeries are quite high.
