AlloClae Fat Grafting: A New Option for Volume Restoration

Every treatment and surgical innovation introduced in our practice is carefully selected after extensive review for safety, efficacy, and long-term results. One of the most exciting new options we have integrated into our body contouring procedures is AlloClae Fat Grafting – a groundbreaking approach that redefines what is possible with fat transfer.

Understanding Fat Grafting and Its Limitations

Traditional fat grafting, also called fat transfer, has long been one of the most natural ways to restore lost volume or enhance contour. During the procedure, fat is harvested from one area of the patient’s body (such as the abdomen, thighs, or flanks) using liposuction, purified, and then re-injected into another area that needs enhancement, such as the breasts, hips, buttocks, or contour irregularities.

While this technique produces beautiful, soft, and natural-looking results, it does depend on one key factor: the patient must have enough donor fat available for harvesting. In lean patients or those who have previously undergone liposuction, this can limit the ability to achieve the desired volume or shape. Additionally, not all transferred fat survives; some portion of the grafted fat is reabsorbed by the body over time, which can require additional sessions to maintain fullness.

AlloClae addresses these challenges with an innovative solution that combines the natural results of fat transfer with the consistency and reliability of a pre-prepared material.

What Is AlloClae Fat Grafting?

AlloClae is an advanced form of fat grafting that uses donor-sourced, highly purified cadaveric fat to restore or enhance volume. Unlike traditional fat transfer, which relies solely on a patient’s own harvested fat, AlloClae uses processed donor fat tissue that has undergone a meticulous purification process to remove all living cells, DNA, and immunogenic material. What remains is a biocompatible structural matrix – essentially the “framework” of natural fat tissue that the body recognizes and integrates safely.

Because there are no living cells, AlloClae is not rejected by the immune system and does not carry the risk of transmitting infection or disease. The final material provides a safe, sterile, and ready-to-use grafting option that behaves similarly to natural fat once placed. It creates immediate soft volume and serves as a scaffold for the body’s own cells to gradually populate and remodel over time.

The Science Behind AlloClae

The AlloClae process begins with carefully screened donor fat tissue that meets the highest standards for tissue safety and traceability. This tissue undergoes an advanced proprietary purification and sterilization process to remove cellular components, leaving behind a three-dimensional extracellular matrix rich in collagen and natural lipids.

This acellular structure provides a biomechanical framework that:

• Integrates with the patient’s own tissue: The body’s cells and microvasculature gradually grow into the graft, improving stability and natural feel.
• Reduces inflammation: Because immunogenic components are removed, the material is highly biocompatible, minimizing inflammation and swelling.
• Maintains shape and softness: The fat matrix retains its natural structure, allowing for consistent, predictable contouring results.
• Encourages regeneration: Over time, the patient’s own tissue replaces the scaffold, resulting in a natural and lasting volume restoration.

In essence, AlloClae functions as a fat substitute and regenerative scaffold, bridging the gap between traditional fat grafting and synthetic fillers or implants.

How AlloClae Is Used

AlloClae can be used in a wide range of aesthetic and reconstructive procedures, either on its own or in combination with autologous (patient-derived) fat transfer. Common treatment areas include:

• Breast enhancement or revision: Refining contour, improving symmetry, or addressing implant-related concerns.
• Buttock and hip augmentation: Enhancing curves and balance without the need for large-volume fat harvesting.
• Body contouring: Filling contour irregularities or volume deficits after liposuction or weight loss.

For patients with limited donor fat or those seeking a more predictable and streamlined procedure, AlloClae expands the possibilities of what fat grafting can achieve.

Why Dr. Bachilo Chose AlloClae for Glamour Plastic Surgery & Med Spa

Dr. Olga Bachilo’s decision to integrate AlloClae into her surgical practice stems from her commitment to innovation and patient-centered care. Several key factors influenced this choice:

Safety and Biocompatibility

AlloClae’s donor fat undergoes rigorous screening and processing that meets the highest FDA and tissue bank standards. The absence of living cells virtually eliminates risks of immune rejection or adverse reactions. This makes it an excellent option for patients who desire fat transfer results but may not be ideal candidates for autologous harvesting.

Ability To Be Performed as an In-Office Procedure

Because AlloClae does not require fat harvesting or general anesthesia, it eliminates the need for a costly operating room, allowing patients to achieve natural contour enhancement with minimal downtime and greater convenience.

Consistency and Predictability

Because AlloClae is processed to a uniform texture and structure, it offers highly consistent grafting quality. Unlike traditional fat that can vary in density and viability depending on the harvesting site, AlloClae provides a reliable and reproducible medium for sculpting and volume restoration. It gives Dr. Bachilo, the board-certified plastic surgeon, precise control in shaping and layering, ensuring results that blend seamlessly with surrounding tissues. This precision is particularly valuable in contouring procedures where balance and proportion are essential

Expanded Access for More Patients

Not every patient has enough available fat for traditional transfer. AlloClae opens the door for slimmer individuals, patients with prior liposuction, or those who prefer to avoid additional donor-site surgery. It allows Dr. Bachilo to achieve beautiful, natural contours even in patients who were previously limited by anatomy.

Enhanced Regenerative Potential

The extracellular fat matrix provides an ideal environment for cellular in-growth and collagen remodeling. This regenerative property complements Dr. Bachilo’s holistic approach to aesthetic surgery, where both beauty and skin quality are optimized.

Ideal Candidates for AlloClae Fat Grafting

You may be a good candidate for AlloClae if you:

• Desire natural-looking volume enhancement or soft-tissue contouring and have realistic expectations
• Have limited donor fat available for traditional grafting
• Are seeking revision of contour irregularities after surgery or liposuction
• Want to enhance volume or smooth hollow areas without surgical interference
• Are undergoing a combination procedure such as breast revision, buttock contouring, or body sculpting

The Future of Regenerative Aesthetic Surgery

AlloClae represents a major advancement in regenerative aesthetics, offering a safe, reliable, and natural alternative to traditional fat grafting. It bridges the gap between surgery and regenerative medicine – leveraging the body’s natural healing potential to create long-lasting, beautiful results.

At Glamour Plastic Surgery and Med Spa, we are proud to be among the select practices offering this technology. For Dr. Olga Bachilo, innovations like AlloClae are not just about enhancing appearance – they are about expanding possibilities, improving comfort, and advancing the art and science of aesthetic surgery for every patient.
