Cellulite Reduction

If you’ve been frustrated by stubborn cellulite that doesn’t improve with exercise or skincare, Avéli offers a targeted, minimally invasive solution. At 5th Avenue Plastic Surgery, this advanced cellulite reduction treatment is designed to address the structural cause of dimpling for smoother-looking skin on the thighs and buttocks, all in a single in-office procedure.

What Is Cellulite?

Cellulite is the dimpled or uneven texture that commonly appears on the thighs and buttocks. It develops when fibrous bands beneath the skin, called septa, pull downward while fat pushes upward, creating visible dimpling on the skin’s surface. Factors such as aging, genetics, weight fluctuations, and lifestyle can contribute to the appearance of cellulite. While cellulite cannot be completely eliminated, it can be significantly improved with advanced treatment options like Avéli.

What Is Avéli?

Avéli is an FDA-cleared cellulite treatment designed for adult women seeking long-term improvement in the appearance of cellulite. Unlike temporary or surface-level treatments, Avéli works beneath the skin to target the structural cause of cellulite directly. By releasing the fibrous septa responsible for dimpling, Avéli helps smooth and improve skin texture with long-lasting results.

How Avéli Works

The Avéli procedure uses a specialized handheld device to precisely identify and release the septa causing cellulite dimples. During treatment, a small incision is made and the device is inserted beneath the skin to target the bands individually. Once released, the skin can naturally smooth out, improving overall contour and texture. Because the treatment addresses the root cause of cellulite, patients often experience more noticeable and longer-lasting results compared to other cellulite reduction options.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

Ideal candidates for Avéli cellulite reduction are women who are bothered by visible cellulite on the thighs or buttocks and want long-term improvement in skin smoothness. Candidates should be near their ideal body weight, in good overall health, and have realistic expectations about their results. While Avéli can dramatically reduce the appearance of cellulite, no treatment can completely eliminate it.

What to Expect During Treatment

Avéli is performed in-office under local anesthesia and typically takes about an hour to complete. Once the treatment area is numbed, Dr. D’Agostino carefully identifies the septa causing cellulite dimpling and releases them using the Avéli device. The procedure is precise, controlled, and designed to preserve surrounding tissue while improving skin texture and contour. Most patients tolerate the procedure very well and return home shortly afterward.

Recovery and Results

Recovery after Avéli is generally straightforward. Patients can expect temporary bruising, swelling, tenderness, and mild discomfort in the treated areas. Compression garments may be recommended to help minimize swelling and support healing. Many patients return to normal daily activities within a few days, while most resume their regular routine within about one week.

As swelling subsides, smoother skin and visible improvement become more noticeable over the following weeks, with continued improvement as healing progresses. Because Avéli targets the structural cause of cellulite, results are designed to be long-lasting.

Dr. D is AMAZING!

I knew two things were most important to me when looking for the right surgeon: the results and bedside manner. I feel so grateful to have hit the jackpot with Dr D who gave me the BEST of both of those. From the first moment I met her in the consult, I knew she was different from most doctors. She is incredibly kind, sweet, patient, and attentive. She made me feel cared for in a way that’s hard to put into words, but when you’re preparing for a big surgery, it’s the exact type of energy that puts you at total ease. Dr D not only answered all my questions, on multiple different occasions, leading up to surgery but she was extremely patient with them all. 

There’s way too many good things to say about Dr. Farber!

I did my research and met with two other doctors before I met with Dr. Farber. There’s way too many good things to say about Dr Farber and staff. I must say he’s very professional and enthusiastic about his profession. The doctor followed up with regular visits to see how I was healing. I waited one whole year before I decided to make a comment about my procedure. To be sure all is good. Now a year later all I have to say is, God bless Dr. Farber. I really appreciate everything he did for me. He is a wonderful person & doctor along with his staff…

I am extremely pleased with Dr. D’Agostino.

I am extremely pleased with Dr. D’Agostino. She is always on time, personable and kind! She walked me through every step of my procedure, removed all of my cancer and did an amazing job. My scar is barely noticeable at just a couple weeks after my procedure. I will definitely be back for any other cosmetic needs.
