Avéli® Cellulite Treatment in New Orleans, LA
Cellulite is often mistaken as merely the aggregation of fat pockets beneath the skin. However, this condition actually refers to skin dimpling caused by fibrous tissue bands, called septa, that form compartments around fat cells. The relationship between fat and connective tissue leads to the lumpy, orange-peel skin texture we recognize as cellulite. Specifically, the tightening of these fibrous bands is what creates cellulite dimples.
Cellulite is a common condition affecting more women than men. In fact, over 80% of women will experience some level of cellulite in their lifetime, regardless of weight or body type.
Dedicated to providing his patients with the most effective treatments available, Dr. Heath Charvet proudly offers Avéli® at his New Orleans plastic surgery practice. This cutting-edge solution redefines the standard for advanced, long-lasting cellulite reduction.

Reviews
Am I a Candidate for Avéli® Cellulite Treatment?
If you wish to diminish the cellulite on your buttocks or thighs, you may be a candidate for Avéli®. Good candidates are those who are in good health, do not smoke, and have realistic expectations.
To determine your candidacy for Avéli® cellulite reduction, schedule a consultation with Magnolia Plastic Surgery & MedSpa by calling (504) 571-5908.
How Is the Avéli® Procedure Performed?
Avéli® can be performed as a standalone procedure with local anesthesia or as an add-on during any general anesthesia case.
The Avéli® device is designed to locate and sever the fibrous bands responsible for cellulite dimples, effectively freeing the fat trapped within for a smooth skin surface.
During treatment, Dr. Heath inserts the Avéli® device through small incisions in the skin, navigates to the fibrous bands in the subcutaneous layer of the skin, and releases them one by one. Treatment time varies but takes about one hour on average.
Combining Avéli® With Other Procedures
Avéli® is an excellent addition to a variety of other surgical procedures and non-surgical treatments, adding about 20 minutes to surgery time.
- Brazilian Butt Lift: Our Ultra-Safe Smooth BBL procedure combines Avéli® cellulite reduction with ultrasound-assisted fat transfer to the buttocks for a sculpted and exceptionally smooth derriere.
- Liposuction: Removing excess fat in the thighs and buttocks unlocks maximum benefits of Avéli® for slimmer, sleeker contours.
During your consultation, you and Dr. Heath can discuss how Avéli® can best be incorporated into your treatment plan.
What Is Avéli® Recovery Like?
There is little to no downtime involved with Avéli® treatment, allowing most patients to resume their daily routine within 24–48 hours. Mild bruising and tenderness are the most common side effects, making recovery quick and manageable.
However, it is important to avoid strenuous activities, including intensive exercise, for up to two weeks to allow the treated area to heal and stabilize. Dr. Heath will provide recommendations for post-procedure care.
What Results Can I Expect From Avéli®?
Avéli® delivers smooth, cellulite-free skin patients love.
While initial results will be obscured by swelling, gradual improvements will become noticeable within the first 30 days. Final results are usually visible after three months.
How Much Does Avéli® Cost?
As a standalone procedure, Avéli® costs about $3,500–$5,000, depending on the number and severity of the areas being treated. As an enhancement to surgery, Avéli® costs approximately $2,000.
