That's a great question! Cellulite affects women of all ages. It can start in the teens for some women while others may not notice the appearance of cellulite until much later. At 35 with minimal skin laxity, you would be an excellent candidate for Aveli since Aveli releases the fibrous bands under the skin causing cellulite dimples. Once these bands are released, the appearance and contour is much smoother.

You brought up an excellent point that laxity is an issue as well for many women. Combining Aveli with Attiva which delivers subdermal radiofrequency has been a game changer. This combination allows me to treat two components of lower body rejuvenation in a single treatment.

Consider seeing a physician to see if Aveli and Attiva are right for you!

Facial fat grafting, also known as facial fat transfer, is a cosmetic procedure where fat is harvested from one part of the body and then injected into specific areas of the face to enhance volume and contour. It is an excellent option to address the nasolabial folds as well as provide full facial rejuvenation.

Since we are injecting your own fat cells, facial fat grafting leads to a natural-looking outcome as the transferred fat integrates with the surrounding tissues. Compared to certain dermal fillers that might need to be repeated every few months or years, properly integrated fat grafts can provide long-lasting results. While not all of the transferred fat may survive, a significant portion can become a permanent part of the treated area. Additionally, there is evidence to suggest that fat grafting can improve the quality of overlying skin. The regenerative properties of fat stem cells often contribute to better skin texture and appearance in the treated area. Finally, facial fat grafting offers a holistic approach. Instead of simply addressing a single concern, facial fat grafting offers a more comprehensive approach to facial rejuvenation. It can address multiple aspects of facial aging, such as volume loss and wrinkles, in one procedure.

From your photo, I think facial fat grafting would offer a natural, long term solution to address your nasolabial folds as well as volume loss in the cheeks and around the mouth. However, it is important to see a provider in person for a full consultation and to see if this procedure is truly right for you.

Facial fat transfer is an excellent treatment and offers natural, comprehensive rejuvenation. While there are multiple modalities currently available on the market, the BeautiFill system offers several key advantages. BeautiFill uses laser technology to gently remove fat from the donor site. This technique prevents damage to the fat cells, which means that there is a higher fat cell survival in the recipient site (face). Studies have supported these claims with over 90% fat cell survival. Final results are seen at 3-6 months, and facial fat transfer can last years.

Yes! Fat transfer to the breast in combination with Attiva radiofrequency is an excellent combination to restore the contour and lift!

With the fat transfer to the breast, we are able to individualize the volume enhancement, simply restoring lost volume or augmenting volume to increase 1-2 cups. Fat transfer allows natural-looking results and a more subtle and gradual enhancement of the breasts.

The combination of fat transfer to the breast with Attiva further improves breast sagging and positioning. Attiva uses subdermal radiofrequency to contract the skin. I have found this creates a beautiful breast lift, and this combination of Attiva has become a powerful mainstay in my practice.

Yes! Aveli in combination with ATTIVA S.I.H. is an incredible combination. Having previously used other cellulite treatments including Qwo and Celfina, I can confidently say that Aveli is superior for the treatment of cellulite. Aveli allows the surgeon to verify that all of the fibrous bands contributing to cellulite dimple have been treated, and this verification is key to preventing the cellulite from returning. There is often a component of skin laxity in addition to cellulite that contributes to the irregularities. ATTIVA S.I.H. uses radio frequency energy to stimulate collagen and elastin. The synergistic effect of Aveli and ATTIVA S.I.H. leads to enhanced skin texture, reduced cellulite visibility, and improved overall skin elasticity, offering patients a non-invasive and efficient solution for achieving smoother, youthful-looking skin.
