Top Plastic Surgery Center for Cellulite
Cellulite is a very common problem affecting women of childbearing age. The dimples formed as a result of cellulite are often due to fibrous bands that pull the skin towards the underlying fascia and muscle. Several new treatments have been introduced to combat cellulite on the hips, thighs, and buttocks; but our world-renowned expert in Cellulite Treatment remains convinced of the benefits of the Brazilian Cellulite Treatment as the gold-standard for cellulite treatment for women.
Aveli is a new FDA-approved technology that releases the fibrous bands that form cellulite. According to research data, the Aveli system is a long-term solution for cellulite on the body. The Aveli cellulite device is inserted into the skin overlying a cellulite deposit and a guided retractable blade is then used to release fibrous septa that can influence the visibility of the cellulite.
Is Aveli Worth the Cost?
Probably not. There are many different technologies that have come and gone and few have remained sustainable over a long period of time. Dr. Karamanoukian continues to treat cellulite using a more definitive approach that targets the fibrous bands individually. The cost of the Brazilian Cellulite Treatment is more cost-effective and results may last a lifetime.
Dr. Raffy Karamanoukian is a world-expert on cellulite surgery and cellulite treatments. In his Santa Monica plastic surgery and cosmetic dermatology clinic, he treats patients with cellulite using a combination approach. His directed approach to cellulite addresses skin laxity, skin contour, tissue tightness, lipodystrophy, and fibrous septa that cause cellulite. One single modality cannot alone eliminate the contour irregularities on the hips and thighs and for this reason, he has advocated for the use of external RF in addition to the Brazilian Cellulite Treatment.
Brazilian Cellulite Treatment Benefits
For over ten years, Dr. Karamanoukian has been treating patients with the Brazilian Cellulite Treament (BCT). He popularized the treatment on national television with a segment on TheDoctors as he and Dr. Travis discussed options for cellulite. Our treatment utilizes similar principles as Aveli and Cellfina and predates both treatments by many years as Dr. Karamanoukian himself has been performing the Brazilian Cellulite Treatment for two decades. The goal is to release the scar tissue tethering the cellulite to the muscle fascia. In the BCT procedure, small pokes in the skin are used to minimize any scarring and the tethering fibrous bands are released with tactile precision. Patients will notice some mild bruising and swelling that will subside on its own.
Although the Aveli comes as another cellulite advancement in our arsenal of treatments for cellulite, Dr. Karamanoukian remains convinced that the Brazilian Cellulite Treatment is the option of choice for complex and diffuse cellulite as it maintains minimal scars and is a longlasting solution with decreased downtime.
Is Aveli Cellulite Treatment safe?
Aveli is FDA Approved as a medical device to help improve cellulite deposts under the skin. The technology is safe to use and the company data has cited no major complicatiomns noted with the procedure. The Brazilian Cellulite Treatment is also a brilliant procedure with similar techniques without as significant a scar.
There are few side effects in cellulite treatment with Aveli or the Brazilian Cellulite Treatment. Our surgeon is double board certified and understands the complexities of a surgical procedure and will give you a complete assessment of risks. Unlike the Aveli or Cellfina procedures, the skin entry points with the BCT procedure are much smaller to minimize any scarring.
Stretchmark Treatments in Los Angeles
Stretch marks often occur alongside cellulite and Dr. Karamanoukian delivered a lecture to several hundred plastic surgeons regarding the concurrent management of both stretch marks and cellulite. Our approach uses laser resurfacing and textural modulation to improve the skin contour and texture in patients with stretch marks.
