alloClae™ in Plano, TX

What Is alloClae?

alloClae is a sterile structural adipose tissue allograft made from donated human fat tissue. It is intended for placement beneath the skin in localized areas where fat naturally exists to provide cushioning and support. The product does not contain viable cells.

Unlike traditional fat transfer, alloClae does not require liposuction to harvest fat from your own body.

Am I a Candidate for alloClae?

alloClae may be appropriate for patients who want to add volume or improve a localized contour. Candidacy depends on your anatomy, tissue quality, treatment history, and goals.

Potential treatment areas and concerns include:

• Hip dips
• Gluteal projection
• Localized volume loss
• Irregularities following liposuction
• Selected breast contour concerns

Manufacturer guidance also describes breast applications for shaping areas such as the upper breast and cleavage and addressing certain contour irregularities around existing implants. Patients considering breast enhancement can discuss alloClae alongside our other breast procedures.

alloClae should not be used in patients with severe allergen sensitivities, a history of anaphylaxis, or an active infection.

What Happens During alloClae Treatment?

alloClae can be performed as an in-office procedure. Your surgeon first evaluates and marks the areas where volume will be added, and local anesthesia may be used for comfort.

A small entry point is created, and alloClae is placed beneath the skin using a cannula. The amount used depends on the treatment area and the degree of correction planned. Larger-volume treatments may be staged over more than one procedure.

What Is Recovery Like After alloClae?

Temporary swelling, bruising, tenderness, redness, itching, or firmness may occur after treatment. Swelling often improves within several days, while firmness can take longer to resolve.

Patients are generally advised to avoid vigorous exercise, submerging the treated area, and extreme temperatures for 24 to 48 hours. Your surgeon will provide aftercare instructions based on the area treated.

What Are the Benefits of alloClae?

alloClae offers a less involved way to add targeted volume without harvesting fat from another area of the body. For the right patient, potential benefits include:

• Immediate volume
• Natural-looking contour refinement
• No donor-site liposuction
• Little downtime
• An in-office procedure
• Treatment of localized areas where fat naturally exists

Patients who need fat removal, skin excision, or more extensive reshaping may be better suited to other body contouring procedures.

How Much Does alloClae Cost?

alloClae pricing depends on the treatment area, the amount of product needed, and whether more than one session is recommended. Your surgeon will provide a personalized estimate after evaluating your concerns and developing a treatment plan.
