Cellulite is a gender-related condition which is the clinical expression of conformational changes taking place in the fibrous strands partitioning the hypodermis. The affected skin areas are those where fat deposition is under the influence of estrogens. Some hypodermal fibrous strands become enlarged and others become loose and look similar to striae distensae. Cellulite is not a result of increased body mass, but its aspect may be influenced by the waist-to-hip ratio.
橘皮组织是一种与性别相关的病症，是皮下分隔纤维束发生构象变化的临床表现。受影响的皮肤区域是脂肪沉积受雌激素影响的部位。一些皮下纤维束会变粗，另一些则会变松弛，看起来类似膨胀纹。橘皮组织并非体重增加所致，但其外观可能受腰臀比影响。
