Avéli | LITTLE Liposuction

Do you feel self-conscious about wearing shorts or swimsuits because of cellulite on your thighs and buttocks? If you do, you’re certainly not alone. Those unattractive little divots that appear on our skin are entirely natural, but that doesn’t make them any less embarrassing. If you’d like to achieve smoother, cellulite-free skin with a minimally invasive treatment, Avéli may be exactly what you need.

What Is Avéli?

Avéli is an FDA-cleared cosmetic treatment used to reduce cellulite around the thighs and buttocks.

How Does Avéli Work?

To understand how Avéli works, it’s important to understand why cellulite appears in the first place. Essentially, those dimples in your skin are the result of connective bands of fibrous tissue known as septa. The septa pull down on your skin, which creates little divots.

To eliminate cellulite, Avéli treatment uses an innovative device to sever the bands of connective tissue, releasing the hold they have on the skin. To achieve this, the device is inserted into the skin through small incisions, at which point it uses a small razor to cut the individual septa responsible for your cellulite.

Benefits of Avéli

For anyone who’d like to be rid of their cellulite, Avéli can offer some or all of the following benefits:

Greatly reduced cellulite on the thighs and buttocks
Smoother, more youthful-looking skin
Long-lasting results
Increased self-esteem
More attractive appearance in shorts and bathing suits
Safe for all skin types

What Should I Expect During the Procedure?

Before you undergo Avéli treatment, the first step will be a consultation with one of our expert providers at the Virginia Institute of Plastic Surgery. Your doctor will go over the treatment with you to help you determine if it’s the right choice. If you want to proceed, they’ll ask you about your specific aesthetic goals and work with you to create an effective treatment plan.

Avéli treatment is performed as an outpatient procedure, and you’ll be administered local anesthesia to prevent any pain. Once the treatment area is numb, your surgeon will make several tiny incisions around the skin that’s being targeted. Next, the handheld Avéli device will be inserted into each incision, and the doctor will carefully use it to cut the septa that are causing your cellulite. When this process is finished, your provider will close your incisions to complete the treatment. Usually, the entire Avéli procedure takes under an hour to complete, and you should be able to return home shortly after it’s finished.

How Long Is the Recovery Time?

You should be able to return to your normal routine only a day or two after your procedure, but you’ll need to avoid strenuous exercise for one to two weeks. Most patients experience some bruising, swelling, and discomfort after Avélil treatment. The discomfort should only last a day or two, but the swelling and bruising can last up to a month.

Am I a Candidate for Avéli?

If you have unsightly cellulite around the thighs and/or buttocks, you could be a good candidate for Avéli. Ideal candidates should typically meet the following requirements:

Be in good physical health
Have realistic expectations for the treatment
Have cellulite around the thighs and/or buttocks that you’d like to eliminate
Be a non-smoker

How Long Will It Take To See Results After Avéli Treatment?

Although you might start to notice results shortly after your Avéli treatment, the full effects of the procedure will not be revealed until the swelling and bruising subside. This can take up to a month. If you take good care of your skin and maintain a stable weight, your results could last for several years.
