Cellulite Nonsense: Misconceptions and Proper Treatments

With multiple products and services claiming that they can “restore your youth” or “fix what bothers you” it is exhausting to decipher what actually works. When it comes to cellulite, this issue has been ongoing for years. Several companies are claiming that they know the secrets, but none of them remove the cellulite – until now! Avéli is the latest in cellulite reduction and removal! It works from the inside, identifying and releasing the septa, the primary cause of cellulite.

Cellulite is known for the dimples or depressions it creates in the skin, typically on the buttocks or thighs. A major underlying cause of cellulite is the interplay between fibrous tissue bands, fat, and skin. These septa can shrink or stiffen over time.  Some septa are good (and you want them as connective tethers), but others stiffen or shrink over time and lead to the dimples we see on the surface and call cellulite. When the fat in the skin’s underlying layers pushes up between the septa, unsightly dimples form on the skin’s surface.  

If you’re wondering why, you have cellulite, you are in good company—up to 90% of women have cellulite, and it’s typically influenced by genetics or hormonal factors. As you’re considering treatment options for your cellulite, it’s essential to distinguish cellulite from other concerns like skin laxity or fat. During your one-on-one consultation, plastic surgeon Dr. Ryan Diederich and his team will assess your skin to determine if Avéli or one of our surgical body contouring procedures best aligns with your needs.

Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Ryan Diederich performs your Avéli procedure at MidAmerica Plastic Surgery. He uses Avéli’s innovative hand-held device that manually targets and releases the complicated web of septa bands that cause cellulite dimples. The device features a lighted tip, allowing Dr. Diederich optimal visibility throughout the procedure.

After your in-office procedure, you will be sent home with post-care instructions and any medical supplies you might need during recovery. The results of your Avéli procedure should be visible once swelling and bruising subsides. By one-month post-procedure you should start to see the effects of the procedure. If you have any questions during your recovery time, you are more than welcome to call our office at 618-288-7855.

Are you ready to minimize the cellulite nonsense?  At MidAmerica Plastic Surgery, located in Glen Carbon, Illinois, we offer complimentary consultations for Avéli. To book with us, give the office a call or fill out one of our contact forms and our staff will reach out to you!
