Body Procedures
For patients who love the idea of fat transfer but don’t have enough donor fat—or simply want to avoid surgery—alloClae™ offers a breakthrough alternative. At Orange County Plastic Surgery, we are proud to offer alloClae™, the world’s first structural adipose filler for non-surgical body contouring. Using purified donor fat cells, alloClae™ restores natural-feeling volume, smooths contour irregularities, and enhances curves with minimal downtime and no liposuction required.
What Is alloClae™?
alloClae™ is the world’s first structural adipose filler—an injectable body contouring treatment derived from carefully screened and processed donor fat tissue. Unlike traditional hyaluronic acid fillers, alloClae™ is composed of real human fat cells (adipocytes) and a naturally occurring extracellular matrix (ECM) that mirrors the 3D structure of the body’s own fat.
Because alloClae™ comes pre-packaged and ready to inject, there is no need to harvest fat from the patient. The result is a minimally invasive, in-office procedure that delivers natural-looking volume and contouring without surgery, without liposuction, and with significantly less downtime than traditional fat grafting.
Key Facts at a Glance
Rhytidectomy, the definition of which is a facial surgery that corrects facial aging, is recommended for men and women who have advanced signs of aging, such as:
Composition
60% intact adipocytes (fat cells) + 40% extracellular matrix (ECM)
Origin
Processed, sterilized donor adipose tissue — all cellular DNA removed
FDA Compliance
Processed to meet FDA human tissue safety standards
Shelf-Stable
Ready-to-use 12.5 cc containers — no harvesting or processing at time of treatment
Procedure Setting
In-office or operating room
The next evolution of body contouring has arrived
How Is alloClae™ Different from Traditional Fat Transfer?
Fat transfer (fat grafting) has long been the gold standard for patients seeking natural-feeling body contouring using their own tissue. However, it requires a surgical procedure to harvest fat via liposuction—meaning patients need enough donor fat and must be willing to undergo surgery with the associated recovery time.
alloClae™ bridges this gap by offering the benefits of fat grafting without the surgical requirements:

What Can alloClae™ Treat?

-

Subtle enhancement (up to half a cup size), improve cleavage, or smooth rippling and visible implant edges.
-
Post-Liposuction Irregularities
Correct divots, depressions, or uneven contours caused by previous liposuction, weight loss, or surgery.
-
Thighs & Abdomen
Restore volume to areas affected by weight loss or aging, and smooth transitions between treated areas.
-
Hands
Restore lost volume to hands for a more youthful appearance.
-
Post-Explant Breast Restoration
Restore natural breast volume and smooth contours following breast implant removal.
Who Is a Good Candidate for alloClae™?
alloClae™ is an excellent option for a wide range of patients. You may be a strong candidate if you:
- Want natural-looking body contouring without undergoing surgery
- Do not have enough donor fat for traditional fat grafting or a Brazilian Butt Lift
- Are close to your ideal weight but want to address specific contour concerns
- Have contour irregularities from previous liposuction, weight changes, or surgery
- Want subtle breast enhancement without implants
- Are in good overall health with realistic expectations
- Want to avoid the extended recovery associated with surgical body contouring
* alloClae™ may not be appropriate for patients seeking significant volume changes or those with certain medical histories. A personalized consultation is the best way to determine whether this treatment is right for you.

What to Expect: The alloClae™ Procedure
alloClae™ is performed as a minimally invasive, in-office treatment. Here is a step-by-step overview:
Consultation
Your treatment begins with a thorough one-on-one consultation with your provider to review your goals, anatomy, and medical history. Together you will determine the ideal treatment areas and volume.
01
Preparation
On the day of your appointment, the treatment area is cleansed and prepared. Stop smoking at least four weeks before treatment to support optimal healing.
02
Local Anesthesia
A local anesthetic is administered to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.
03
Injection
Using a thin, blunt-tip cannula through a tiny opening in the skin, alloClae™ is gently layered into the soft tissue of the target area for smooth, even contouring.
04
Completion
The procedure typically takes 30–60 minutes depending on the number of areas treated.
05

Recovery After alloClae™
One of the most appealing aspects of alloClae™ is the minimal recovery period compared to surgical body contouring. Most patients return to normal activities within 1–2 days.
Recovery Timeline

-
Day 1
Rest and avoid strenuous activity. You may shower within 24 hours.
-
Days 2–7
Some swelling and minor bruising are normal and will subside.
-
Weeks 1–2
Swelling fully resolves; initial results become visible.
-
Months 1–6
Continued improvement as alloClae™ integrates with surrounding tissue.
-

Frequently Asked Questions About alloClae™
Is alloClae™ safe?
Yes. alloClae™ uses donor adipose tissue that has been processed and sterilized to meet FDA human tissue safety standards. All cellular DNA is removed to minimize the risk of immune reaction or rejection. The procedure is performed by trained, board-certified providers.
How long do alloClae™ results last?
Results are long-lasting but not considered permanent, as the body naturally remodels over time. Most patients enjoy results for 18 months to 3 years. Touch-up sessions may be recommended depending on the area treated and individual response.
How many sessions will I need?
Many patients achieve their goals in a single session. However, depending on the treatment area and desired outcome, 2–3 sessions may be recommended. Your provider will outline a personalized plan during your consultation.
Can alloClae™ be combined with other procedures?
Yes. alloClae™ pairs well with liposuction, tummy tuck, and other body contouring procedures to refine transitions and add volume where needed. It can also be combined with cellulite treatments to address both volume loss and skin texture.
What is the difference between alloClae™ and a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)?
A Brazilian Butt Lift uses the patient’s own fat, harvested via liposuction, for buttock enhancement. alloClae™ achieves a similar contouring effect without the need for liposuction or donor fat, making it an excellent option for patients who are not candidates for a BBL.
When will I see results?
Results are visible immediately following treatment. Additional improvements continue to appear over 3–6 months as alloClae™ integrates with the surrounding tissue and stimulates the body’s natural regenerative processes.
