What Is AlloClae™?

AlloClae™ is the first ready-to-use structural adipose tissue derived from purified donor fat cells. Unlike traditional fat transfer, AlloClae™ doesn’t require liposuction or general anesthesia. 

Using a proprietary 5-step process, adipose tissue is refined and sterilized to retain growth factors, proteins, and collagen that support the body’s natural regenerative response.

Once injected, it restores volume, smooths contours, and provides a cushioning layer beneath the skin for a soft, natural look and feel.

AlloClae™ Benefits

There are many benefits to AlloClae™:

  • Minimally invasive—no liposuction required
  • Ideal for lean or athletic patients with low BMI
  • Restores volume and camouflages implant rippling
  • Improves cleavage contour and reduces implant palpability
  • In-office procedure with minimal downtime
  • Naturally integrates with tissue for long-lasting results

Are You a Good Candidate?

AlloClae™ may be right for you if you:

  • Have a slender or athletic build with limited donor fat, making you a poor candidate for autologous fat transfer
  • Are experiencing soft tissue deficiency due to implant rippling, palpable implant edges, or widened medial cleavage
  • Seek natural-looking structural volume restoration in areas such as the breasts, hips, or other regions affected by contour irregularities, trauma, or prior surgery
  • Have contour irregularities caused by previous liposuction
  • Experience dimpling in the buttocks or thighs

How is AlloClae™ Different From Fat Transfer?

Unlike traditional fat transfer, which requires harvesting fat through liposuction, AlloClae™ offers a ready-to-use solution derived from purified donor tissue, making it ideal for patients with low body fat or those seeking a less invasive option. AlloClae™ also allows for precise, natural-looking volume restoration in areas affected by contour irregularities, implant rippling, or prior surgical changes. The chart below highlights the key differences between AlloClae™ and fat transfer to help you decide which option may be right for you, or you can learn more about the comparison in detail here.

Procedure Two-step process: liposuction and injection Injection only
Source of Fat Patient's own body fat Purified donor fat cells
Invasiveness More invasive (liposuction) Minimally invasive
Downtime Longer (due to liposuction) Shorter
Ideal Candidates Patients with sufficient body fat Patients with low BMI, implant issues, or those seeking a less invasive option

What to Expect During Your Consultation

Your AlloClae™ journey begins with a thoughtful, one-on-one consultation with Dr. Rocco Piazza. During this visit, we’ll take time to understand your aesthetic goals, assess your anatomy, and review your medical history to ensure candidacy.

Dr. Piazza will explain the differences between AlloClae™, fat transfer, and other volumizing options using advanced imaging and patient education tools.

Because AlloClae™ is a customizable treatment, the cost will vary based on:

  • The area(s) treated
  • The amount of product needed
  • Whether it’s performed alongside other procedures

Unlike traditional fat grafting, AlloClae™ requires no liposuction or general anesthesia, making it a more streamlined and often more cost-effective solution. You’ll receive a tailored treatment plan and transparent pricing at the time of your consultation.

The AlloClae™ Treatment Experience

AlloClae™ is typically performed in the office in under an hour. After numbing the area, Dr. Piazza strategically injects the purified adipose filler using a fine cannula. You may feel slight pressure or pinching, but discomfort is minimal. No incisions or sutures are required, and most patients return to normal activities the next day. While it is commonly done as an in-office procedure, AlloClae™ can also be performed during surgery when combined with other treatments for more comprehensive results.

Recovery & Results

Expect mild swelling, tenderness, or bruising for a few days post-treatment. Results appear gradually as the tissue integrates into the tissue and volume is restored. You’ll see full, natural-looking improvement within a few weeks, with results lasting several months to over a year, depending on the area treated and your unique response.

How long do AlloClae™ results last?

Results can last 12 to 24 months, depending on the treatment area, individual biology, and lifestyle factors. For example, significant weight loss after the procedure can reduce volume and affect longevity. However, we are currently seeing 80–90% volume retention for hip dip treatments at 6 months, making AlloClae™ a reliable and lasting solution for most patients.

Is AlloClae™ safe?

Yes. AlloClae™ is terminally sterilized and rigorously processed for safety, using donor adipose tissue free of cellular components that could trigger rejection.

Can AlloClae™ be combined with surgery?

Yes, it’s often paired with procedures like breast implant revision or body contouring for enhanced, natural-looking results.

What areas can be treated with AlloClae™?

Common areas include breasts (for rippling, cleavage, and implant camouflage), hips, thighs, and other volume-deficient zones.

Is there any downtime?

Most patients return to regular activities within 24–48 hours. Mild bruising or swelling is common but temporary.

How does AlloClae™ feel after it's injected?

It feels soft and natural, like your own tissue. Unlike synthetic fillers, it blends seamlessly with existing structures.

Will I need multiple treatments?

Some patients may benefit from touch-ups depending on their goals. Dr. Piazza will customize your plan accordingly.

Can athletes or very fit individuals use AlloClae™?

Yes—this group is often ideal, especially when fat reserves are too low for traditional fat grafting.

What are the risks?

As with any injection, minor risks include swelling, bruising, asymmetry, or infection. These are rare and manageable under expert care.
