Aveli/ Cellulite Treatment

Introduction

Introduction to Aveli/ Cellulite Treatment

For so many women, cellulite is one of those stubborn cosmetic concerns that doesn’t seem to care how healthy you eat or how often you hit the gym. It’s not a flaw—it’s a naturally occurring skin condition that affects nearly 90% of women at some point in their lives. Still, that doesn’t make it any easier when dimples and ripples on the thighs or buttocks start to chip away at your confidence. At the Georgia Center for Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Joshua Groves offers an advanced, FDA-cleared solution that targets cellulite at its source: Aveli™.

Whether you’re prepping for swimsuit season, wanting smoother curves in your favorite jeans, or simply tired of hiding behind clothing that doesn’t reflect how you feel inside, Aveli gives you the chance to reveal your natural beauty without filters or camouflage. With Dr. Groves’ skilled hands and artistic eye, you can trust that your treatment is not only clinically effective but also thoughtfully personalized to fit your body, goals, and lifestyle.

Dr. Groves and his team offer Aveli/Cellulite Treatment to patients in Macon, Warner Robins, Houston County, Bibb County, and the surrounding areas.

What is an Aveli/ Cellulite Treatment?

Aveli is a cutting-edge cellulite treatment that addresses the structural cause of cellulite: tight fibrous bands known as septa that tether the skin to deeper tissues. These bands create the characteristic dimpled appearance by pulling the skin downward while the surrounding fat pushes upward. Aveli works by precisely releasing these bands using a specialized, handheld device guided beneath the skin during a single in-office procedure.

Unlike topical creams or energy-based treatments that may offer temporary or surface-level improvements, Aveli works below the skin for long-lasting results. The device is equipped with real-time confirmation capabilities, allowing Dr. Groves to ensure each targeted septa is fully released—without damaging surrounding tissue.

What Are the Benefits of an Aveli/ Cellulite Treatment?

The beauty of Aveli lies in its simplicity and precision. Here are just a few reasons patients across central Georgia are choosing this breakthrough cellulite solution:

  • Visible, Long-Lasting Results: Aveli targets the root cause of cellulite, not just its symptoms, offering noticeable improvements that last.
  • Minimally Invasive: Performed under local anesthesia, Aveli requires only small skin punctures—no large incisions, no sutures.
  • Single In-Office Treatment: Most patients achieve their goals with just one appointment, making it perfect for busy lifestyles.
  • Real-Time Precision: Dr. Groves can confirm each band has been released before moving to the next, ensuring accurate and consistent results.
  • Quick Recovery: Many patients return to their normal routine within one to two days, with only mild bruising or swelling.

But perhaps the most meaningful benefit? The return of confidence. Whether you’re walking into a room or onto a beach, Aveli empowers you to stop worrying about what others see—and start focusing on how you feel.

Who Are the Best Candidates For an Aveli/ Cellulite Treatment?

Ideal candidates for Aveli are healthy individuals who are frustrated with moderate to severe cellulite on the thighs or buttocks, specifically the kind that doesn’t improve with diet, exercise, or topical creams. It’s important to understand that cellulite isn’t caused by excess fat, which is why even lean, fit individuals can struggle with dimpling. If you’ve noticed those stubborn pockets that make you feel self-conscious in shorts or swimwear, and your skin retains relatively good elasticity, you may be the perfect candidate for this treatment.

Aveli is best suited for non-smoking adults in or around Macon who maintain realistic expectations and are seeking a safe, effective way to smooth their skin without undergoing major surgery. While it doesn’t treat skin laxity or sagging, it pairs beautifully with other body contouring procedures when desired.

What to Expect on the Day of Aveli/ Cellulite Treatment

On the day of your Aveli treatment, you’ll arrive at our Macon office and be welcomed into a comfortable, private setting designed to put you at ease. Dr. Groves will begin by marking the treatment areas and administering local anesthesia to keep you relaxed and comfortable throughout the procedure. Once the skin is numbed, the Aveli device is carefully inserted beneath the surface using a tiny incision—usually less than a centimeter long.

From there, Dr. Groves will use the device’s real-time guidance system to locate and release the fibrous bands responsible for creating dimples. The process is precise and methodical, ensuring that each targeted septum is fully released without impacting surrounding tissue. The treatment typically takes about an hour, depending on the number and severity of the dimples being addressed.

After the procedure is complete, you’ll be given post-care instructions and can return home the same day.

recovery

Aveli/ Cellulite Treatment Recovery

Recovery after Aveli is surprisingly manageable, making it a standout option for patients seeking real results without extended downtime. Most patients notice some bruising and tenderness in the treated areas for the first few days, but these symptoms are typically mild and resolve on their own. You may also experience slight swelling or firmness under the skin, which is normal as your body begins to heal and smooth out the treated tissue.

While you’ll want to avoid strenuous workouts or heavy lifting for about a week, many patients return to light daily activities within 24 to 48 hours. Wearing compression garments may be recommended during the initial recovery phase to support the healing process and minimize swelling. Results will continue to improve over the next few weeks, with most dimples noticeably reduced within a month.
