Alloclae

AlloClae™ is a revolutionary large-volume injectable fat (acellular adipose tissue) that is designed for body enhancement and structural support. It is used in a variety of ways such as correcting tissue irregularities, cellulite, liposuction deformities, hip dips, skinny BBL, hands, and for pre-expansion of the hips and breasts. It even has the potential to provide subtle enhancement to the buttocks or breasts without the need for surgery or autologous fat transfer. If you have lost fat in your body from aging or weight loss, alloClae™ is a fat restoration treatment that can provide natural-looking volume without implants, scarring, or risks associated with anesthesia. We can also restore lost volume for patients that have Ozempic breast and Ozempic butt

The team at Austin Plastic Surgeon has decades of experience helping patients meet their body goals. Alloclae™ is not a replacement for surgical fat transfer, however it is an attractive supplement and alternative for patients looking for a natural augmentation or restoration without the downtime of surgery. It is also a great option for patients that want to avoid, or are unable to undergo anesthesia to enhance their hip dips and other areas, the treatment will naturally and safely increase your body’s soft tissue to enhance and restore your overall appearance.

About alloClae™

The first product of its kind, alloClae™ is an allogenic adipose tissue, meaning it is composed of natural donor fat cells that have been sterilized. Donor fat cells are a safe and effective way to increase volume in the body, breasts and hands after a patient loses volume from aging, weight loss (Ozempic, Mounjaro or Skinny Shot), or medical conditions.

AlloClae™ is a unique treatment because it is designed for high-volume areas. We offer 14mL and 28mL packages – something that has never been achieved in the United States before – meaning we can add volume to larger areas of the body with this injectable. We can use the treatment for non-surgical Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), hip dips, breast enhancement, and liposuction corrections. The injectable is designed to supplement fatty tissue where it already exists in your body to:

  • Improve the appearance of soft tissue
  • Reduce cellulite dimpling in conjunction with Aveli
  • Increase breast volume
  • Augment the buttocks
  • Improve volume in the hip dips
  • Improve liposuction marks
  • Skinny BBL
  • Pre- expansion
    • Hip Dips
    • Butt 
    • Tuberous Breasts

AlloClae™ Technology

AlloClae™ is minimally processed to preserve the natural structure of the fat and remove any components that could negatively affect your immune system. It only contains the purest fat cells and the processing method preserves its honeycomb structure. AlloClae™ is a fat matrix, meaning the structure of the fat mimics the structure and support of natural fatty tissue for maximum volume enhancement. The natural injectable product contains the proteins, growth factors, and collagen that naturally exist in your body’s fatty tissue. 

AlloClae™ After Weight Loss

After weight loss, you may experience sagging skin that affects your appearance, colloquially known as “Ozempic face”, “Ozempic breast” or “Ozempic butt.” AlloClae™ can restore volume to your face and body without the need for implants or a fat transfer so you can enjoy your weight loss achievement. We can add alloClae™ to your after weight loss body contouring plan if you are currently taking semaglutide or tirzepatide.

AlloClae™ vs. Renuva

Renuva is also an allogenic adipose tissue injection that increases volume in the breasts, hips, thighs, and hands. However, Renuva is designed for smaller treatment volumes. We can use Renuva to improve the appearance of smaller areas with volume loss. To learn more about how Renuva can help you meet your body goals, see our Renuva page.

Benefits of alloClae™

The minimally invasive injectable fat matrix is customizable and can help you achieve results because alloClae™ is: 

  • A natural fat injection 
  • Sterile
  • FDA-cleared technology
  • Approved for high-volume cases
  • Biocompatible
  • Minimally-invasive
  • Non-surgical
  • A recovery-free treatment
  • Long-lasting

Candidates

The best candidates for alloClae™ wish to increase volume in their face, buttocks, hips, legs, or breasts but do not have enough body fat for a fat transfer. For patients who do not wish to undergo anesthesia for medical reasons, alloClae™ can help them restore volume without the risks associated. We can also help you improve soft tissue irregularities, asymmetry, and cellulite divots with the treatment. The best candidates are nonsmokers who are able to maintain a stable weight and are prepared to take care of their bodies to maximize their results.

Consultation

During your consultation at Austin Plastic Surgeon, we will ask about your medical history and your aesthetic goals to determine whether or not an alloClae™ treatment can help you achieve your desired look. It is important to have realistic expectations about what we can achieve with the procedure. Please come prepared to discuss your lifestyle and medications to help us create the best treatment plan for your needs.

How to Prepare for alloClae™ Treatments

To prepare for your alloClae™ treatment, we recommend that you:

  • Do not schedule your treatment close to any important events to provide time for your skin to settle.
  • Avoid taking any blood thinning supplements.
  • Avoid alcohol 24 hours before and after your treatment.

You may need to adjust your medications, but you will need to discuss this during your consultation. 

AlloClae™ Procedure

AlloClae™ contains allogenic adipose tissue (fat cells). During your treatment, we will cleanse and numb the treatment area with an injectable solution. The injection will increase the volume of the treatment area and the natural proteins, collagen, and growth factors in the treatment will conform to your body’s natural tissue and facilitate a healing response. The amount of fat we inject will depend on your aesthetic goals as discussed during your consultation.

Recovery & Results

After your alloClae™ treatment, you can return to your normal routine quickly, as directed by your provider. The injection is minimally invasive so you can drive yourself home. Over the next couple of weeks, the alloClae™ treatment will settle into your body’s natural tissue for a fuller, plumper look. With this treatment, you can achieve fuller, rounder breasts or smoother thighs, and buttocks. The results are long-lasting if you take good care of your body. However, if you lose weight or experience changes to your body from aging, you may see a decrease in volume in the treatment area and require an additional treatment. 

Corresponding Procedures 

Pure Impact and Emsculpt®

Pure Impact is a body sculpting treatment that helps you build muscle. We can enhance your curves with small, targeted electromagnetic pulses that help you build muscle quickly and more effectively than traditional exercise. During the treatment, we will place a small pad over the area you would like to treat to stimulate muscle contractions. It can take 2-4 treatments to see your desired result. Combining alloClae™ with Pure Impact, can help you achieve a more athletic, proportional form. Aside from slight muscle soreness, you will not experience any major side effects. The treatment itself is non-surgical and painless.

Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers, also known as soft tissue fillers, add volume to delicate areas such as the hands and face. We offer dermal fillers such as RHA, Juvéderm and Radiesse®. We can increase the volume of your lips and hands, or improve the appearance of under-eye circles with injectables for a more youthful appearance. RHA is a collection of hyaluronic-acid based soft tissue fillers that include lidocaine for comfort. Radiesse® is a slightly firmer injectable composed of calcium hydroxylapatite, or CaHA, which contains tiny microspheres that stimulate collagen production in your skin for long-term improvements in skin texture and appearance.
