Cellulite looks different than other forms of fat because it contains strands of tissue that run between fat cells and latch onto the skin for support—all resulting in a cottage cheese look. You aren’t necessarily unhealthy or overweight if you have cellulite. Obese, thin and average people can all get this pesky form of fat depending on their genetic makeup, muscle tone and thickness of skin.
