Is it true that Cellulite on the thighs is caused by poor lymphatic drainage in the legs?
Partly. One review suggests lymphatic-system changes may contribute to cellulite, but other sources attribute cellulite to subcutaneous fat structure and hormones or state its cause is not established, so the evidence only partially addresses the claim and does not settle it.
