What Is alloClae?

alloClae is a non-surgical option designed to add subtle, natural volume without implants, synthetic fillers, or an incision. It's made from processed, donated human fat tissue that keeps its own three-dimensional structure intact, so once it's placed, it settles and behaves much like the body's own tissue. Because no fat needs to be harvested from the patient first, alloClae may be considered by people who aren't good candidates for traditional fat transfer. The result is a more direct route to natural-looking contouring. The tissue is processed and screened in line with FDA regulations for human cell and tissue products, which govern donor screening and testing for safety.

Benefits of alloClae

  • May add natural volume without surgery, implants, or synthetic fillers
  • Can help restore lost volume or refine contour irregularities
  • Typically performed in office in under an hour
  • Delivers visible results immediately, with little downtime
  • May offer an option for patients who aren't candidates for traditional fat grafting
  • Designed to integrate with existing tissue for a natural look and feel

Am I a Good Candidate for alloClae?

Because alloClae can be placed virtually anywhere the body naturally stores fat, it may suit a range of patients, including those addressing breast asymmetry, implant rippling, hip dips, or minor contour irregularities left behind by liposuction. It can also be a useful option for patients who don't have enough donor fat of their own for a traditional fat transfer. During a one-on-one consultation, Dr. Berman reviews treatment areas, goals, and overall health to determine candidacy.

Why Choose Berman Plastic Surgery for alloClae?

Patients considering alloClae benefit from Dr. Berman's judgment and eye for proportion, built over more than 30 years of surgical and non-surgical body contouring experience. Every placement decision is guided by the patient's own anatomy, with one goal in mind: a result that reads as simply yours, only more balanced.

Your Consultation

A consultation for alloClae starts with a conversation about the patient's concerns, from breast asymmetry to a liposuction irregularity or a desire for subtler curves. Dr. Berman evaluates candidacy, explains how the treatment works, and maps out a plan suited to the patient's anatomy. Patients are encouraged to ask questions throughout, so they leave with a clear picture of what to expect.

How Much Does alloClae Cost?

Cost depends on the treatment area and the amount of volume being addressed, so pricing varies from patient to patient. A personalized quote follows the consultation, once a treatment plan has been developed. Patients can also ask the team about the financing options available for non-surgical treatments.

What to Expect During alloClae Treatment

Consultation and Treatment Mapping

Before treatment begins, Dr. Berman reviews the areas to be addressed and determines how much volume is needed to meet the patient's goals. This mapping stage sets the plan for where and how the tissue will be placed.

Preparation and Placement

On the day of treatment, the targeted areas are prepared and the tissue is carefully placed to build the planned contour. Most sessions take under an hour and are completed in office.

Immediate Results

Because alloClae maintains its natural structure, added volume is visible right away. Patients can typically see the refined contour or restored fullness before they leave the office.

alloClae Recovery

Downtime after alloClae is minimal. Most patients return to normal activity within 24 to 48 hours, though mild swelling, tenderness, or bruising at the treatment sites is common in the first few days.

Patients are given guidance on caring for the treated area during this early healing window, and the team remains available if questions come up along the way.

alloClae Results

Results are visible immediately and may continue to settle over the following weeks as the tissue integrates with the surrounding area. How long results last can vary based on individual anatomy and lifestyle, and Dr. Berman discusses realistic expectations with each patient during the consultation.

Where alloClae Can Be Used

Breast Contouring

alloClae may be used to improve breast symmetry, soften implant rippling or irregularities, refine cleavage, or restore volume that's been lost over time.

Body Contouring

Beyond the breast, alloClae can help smooth liposuction irregularities, minimize the appearance of hip dips, or refine natural curves, all without an incision.

alloClae FAQs

How is alloClae different from fillers or implants?

Unlike synthetic fillers or implants, alloClae is made from human tissue, not a manufactured material. It's designed to integrate with the surrounding tissue instead of sitting apart from it, which supports a softer, more natural feel.

Is there any scarring with alloClae?

Because alloClae is placed without an incision, it typically leaves no visible scarring. Any marks from the placement site tend to fade quickly as the area heals.

Are there any risks or side effects?

As with any tissue-based treatment, there's a small chance of swelling, bruising, or an uneven result in the treated area. Dr. Berman reviews the specific risks for your treatment goals during the consultation, so you can make an informed decision before moving forward.

Can alloClae be combined with other procedures?

In some cases, yes. Whether alloClae can be paired with another surgical or non-surgical treatment depends on the patient's goals and anatomy, and this is something Dr. Berman addresses during the consultation.

Who might not be a good candidate for alloClae?

Not every patient is a fit for alloClae, and health history, treatment goals, and the areas involved all factor into that decision. A consultation with Dr. Berman is the best way to determine whether alloClae or another approach is right.

Does insurance cover alloClae?

alloClae is a cosmetic treatment, so it's generally not covered by insurance. The practice can walk patients through financing options if they'd like to spread out the cost.

What should I bring to my consultation?

Patients are encouraged to bring a list of questions, any relevant medical history, and a clear sense of the areas they'd like to address. Photos of the look or contour a patient is hoping to achieve can also help guide the conversation.
