What Is AlloClae™?
AlloClae™ is the first ready-to-use structural adipose tissue derived from purified donor fat cells, offered by Dr. Rocco Piazza at The Piazza Center in Austin, TX. Unlike traditional fat transfer, it requires no liposuction and no general anesthesia. Using a proprietary 5-step process, the donor adipose tissue is refined and sterilized to retain the growth factors, proteins, and collagen that support the body’s natural regenerative response. Once injected, it restores volume, smooths contours, and provides a soft cushioning layer beneath the skin for a natural look and feel.

AlloClae™ vs.
fat transfer.
Traditional fat transfer requires harvesting fat through liposuction, making it a poor fit for patients with low body fat. AlloClae™ offers a ready-to-use alternative derived from purified donor tissue, allowing for precise, natural-looking volume restoration in areas affected by contour irregularities, implant rippling, or prior surgery.

The Treatment
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 commonly done as an in-office procedure, AlloClae™ can also be performed during surgery when combined with other treatments for more comprehensive results.

Results
How Long Do Results Last?
Results can last 12 to 24 months, depending on the treatment area, individual biology, and lifestyle factors — significant weight loss after treatment can reduce volume and affect longevity. The Piazza Center is currently seeing 80–90% volume retention for hip dip treatments at six months, making AlloClae™ a reliable and lasting solution for most patients. Some patients benefit from a touch-up treatment customized to their goals.
