Can I Use Someone Else’s Fat?

Using someone else’s fat (donor fat cells) has always been an interesting option for patients as a way to sculpt the body and enhance curves without the risk of anesthesia or long surgical scars. This has been appealing for patients that don’t have enough fat of their own or are trying to avoid additional procedures. If you recently lost weight or experienced changes to your body from aging, alloClae™ is a revolutionary product that was specifically designed as a body filler. It can be used to enhance the buttock, hip dips and a variety of other areas where patients may have lost volume throughout their body. It can also be used to correct contour deformities from weight loss, trauma or previous surgeries. AlloClae™ can enhance your curves and provide long-lasting volume.

The team at Austin Plastic Surgeon has been a global leader in the use of alloClae™ in treatments to help patients improve their figures with donor fat. The treatment is an effective alternative for patients who do not have enough fat for a fat transfer or who would like to make small improvements to their figure with a less invasive process.

About AlloClae™

AlloClae™ is an innovative treatment that can restore volume to specific areas of the body. The treatment is an injectable form of purified donor fat cells that are minimally processed to preserve the natural honeycomb structure of the fat. The alloClae™ is combination of adipose cells and extra cellular matrix. If you recently lost volume in your hips, hands, buttocks, or breasts from a medical condition, weight changes, or aging, we can restore volume with an alloClae™ treatment. ⁽¹⁾ The injectable is designed for relatively high-volume areas compared to previous fillers and contains the purest fat cells.

Patients will also be able to use alloClae™ to help pre-expand areas prior to fat transfer procedures. The concept is that the areas can be treated to create a vascularized space for the fat transfer procedure. The more space for the fat to be transferred into, the more dramatic the results. AlloClae™ has been used for patients looking to undergo nonsurgical breast augmentation or enhancement to improve the appearance of the breast with or without implants. Fat has been used to decrease the visual appearance of rippling, by softening the appearance of the breast to give a more natural appearance.

AlloClae™ is a minimally invasive treatment, that has been used to:

After Weight Loss Body Treatments

After weight loss, it is common to experience volume loss in unwanted areas that affect your proportions. Ozempic face can cause droopy skin, wrinkles, and a gaunt appearance. ⁽²⁾ Droopy breasts after weight loss, a condition colloquially known as Ozempic breast, are especially common. Droopy skin can affect the way your clothes fit and your self-esteem. If you are having trouble enjoying your weight loss achievement because of volume loss, alloClae™ may provide natural-looking volume enhancement. The injectable is one of the most effective ways to restore volume throughout the body and buttock without anesthesia or downtime.

Personal Consultation

During your consultation, we will ask you about your aesthetic goals, medical history, and current medications. You must have realistic expectations about the look you can achieve with the procedure. We can discuss your lifestyle to create a treatment plan for your needs. We can also combine your plan with other treatments if you recently took Ozempic and are struggling with Ozempic body or droopy skin that affects your figure.

If you would like to improve the appearance of cellulite, on your buttocks or thighs we can also perform muscle-building treatments to help you achieve a smoother, more athletic figure.

How to Prepare for alloClae™

To prepare for alloClae™, you will need to:

After your treatment, you will need to allow yourself some time to prioritize resting. You may also need to adjust your medications according to a professional’s instructions and recommendations.

Procedure

To begin your treatment, we will cleanse your skin and numb the treatment area. We will use a thin needle to inject the alloClae™ solution into the treatment area to restore volume to your skin. The proteins, collagen, and growth factors in the treatment will help the allogenic fat cells conform to your body’s natural tissue. We will inject the amount of fat you need for your aesthetic goals, and you can return home soon afterward.

Recovery

Over time, the fat from the alloClae™ treatment will graft to your natural cells. You may experience some soreness at the injection site, but this will subside with time. The purified fat will enhance your appearance naturally over time. It is possible, however, that some of the injected fat will be absorbed by the body. Taking care of your body, eating healthy meals, and exercising regularly can help support your body as the fat cells graft to your natural tissue.

If you have any questions or concerns during your recovery, please do not hesitate to contact our office so that we can provide you with helpful information regarding your situation.

Results

After an alloClae™ treatment, you can enjoy volume enhancement throughout your body and buttock. It can also help improve the contour of your body. If you take good care of your body and maintain a stable weight, you can enjoy long-lasting results for years to come. Since the treatment conforms to your natural fat cells, if you lose weight, you may experience a loss of volume in the treatment area. We can address unwanted volume loss with an additional treatment.

Noninvasive Body Sculpting

Some patients who receive alloClae™ for buttock and hip enhancement would also like to build muscle. We can help you achieve toned thighs and fuller, rounder buttocks with a series of non-invasive body sculpting treatments. Pure Impact can help you build muscle in the treatment area with electromagnetic pulses. The pulses help your body build muscle more effectively than traditional exercise, and after 2-4 treatments we may help you improve your functional fitness. Many of the patients who utilize alloClae™ also want to improve their functional fitness with treatments such as Pure Impact or Emsculpt. Many patients choose to undergo muscle-building treatments to further enhance their fitness or appearance in an effort to work toward their athletic goal! The treatment does not require downtime, although you may be slightly sore just as you would after working out. To learn more about the treatment, see our blog.
