booty cellulite


Explanation:
On désigne souvent les capitons par le terme de « cellulite ». En médecine, ce terme désigne non pas la peau d'orange mais une inflammation (le plus souvent d'origine infectieuse) des tissus profonds sous cutanés.

Having read Asker's remarks in DB, I'd say that you could use the term
"fat deposits" or "fatty deposits" which is more technical and less "beauty-speak"
