What Is Avéli?
Avéli™ is a minimally invasive procedure that delivers lasting reduction in cellulitedimples on the buttocks and thighs. Avéli provides Dr. Yates a new, and relativelysimple way to release the bands under the skin that contribute to many cases ofcellulite. The device allows for precise cellulite treatment without damage tosurrounding structural elements.
HOW DOES AVELI WORK?
During surgery, the hand held device is passed through a small incision, beneath the skin, to thelocation of the dimples. Each dimple is precisely identified by a light that is visible through theskin. A small blade can be activated and hidden by the buttons on the device,hidden to passthe device through the tissue and activated while releasing the bands. When activated, Dr.Yates will release the bands that are causing the dimple precisely. The blade can be hiddenand the device can then be passed, often through thesame incision, to another dimple and theprocedure repeated.

DOES AVELI CELLULITE TREATMENT REMOVE ALL CELLULITE DIMPLES?
Although cellulite dimples can be greatly improved with Aveli, the results typically result inimprovement, but not 100% resolution of cellulite.
DOES AVELI REMOVE FAT OR TIGHTEN SKIN?
Aveli by itself is only designed to release septal bands. However this can be used incombination with skin tightening procedures or fat reshaping procedures such as liposuctionand fat transfer to enhance the result.
DOES AVELI REQUIRE FAT GRAFTING?
Although Aveli does not require fat grafting for success, Dr. Yates is a big fan of fat transfer atthe same time. One of the limitations of any procedure that releases fascial bands is that scartissue in the location of the band please can cause a degree of recurrence. By grafting fat inthe space that has been released, there is a physical separation of the bands and improvedresults. This does add cost and recovery of liposuction to the procedure but for most aworthwhile tradeoff.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SUBCISION TREATMENT OF CELLULITE AND AVELI?
Aveli is basically a subcision on steroids. Subcision is used to release the fascial bands. With Aveli, the release is more complete, accurate, and without damage to surrounding tissue that can lead to scarring.
