Non-surgical body contouring with fat injections
Eugene plastic surgeon Dr. Kiya Movassaghi is proud to be one of the first to offer AlloClae™, an innovative injectable treatment that provides subtle body contouring and volume restoration without surgery. This FDA-cleared procedure uses donor-derived adipose tissue to enhance your natural curves, correct irregularities, and restore lost volume—all in a comfortable office setting. AlloClae is particularly ideal for patients who desire the natural results of fat transfer but don’t have sufficient body fat available for traditional harvesting procedures.
What is AlloClae?
AlloClae is a breakthrough injectable treatment that uses sterilized donor fat cells to restore volume and improve body contours. Unlike synthetic fillers, AlloClae contains real human adipose tissue, growth factors, and collagen-supporting proteins that integrate naturally with your body’s tissues for long-lasting, authentic results—no synthetic filler or surgical liposuction required.
AlloClae delivers the natural-looking volume and curves of fat transfer without requiring any fat to be taken from your own body.
Key Benefits of AlloClae:
- Non-surgical procedure: No incisions, general anesthesia, or extensive downtime
- Natural integration: Uses real human fat tissue for authentic feel and appearance
- Regenerative properties: Stimulates collagen production for ongoing improvement
- Versatile treatment: Addresses multiple body areas in a single session
- Quick recovery: Return to your daily activities immediately following treatment
AlloClae Treatment Areas
Hip Dip Correction
“Hip dips”, also known as violin hips or high hips, are natural indentations that occur on the sides of your body just below the hip bone and above the upper thigh. These inward curves are completely normal, and are caused by the shape of your pelvis and the way your hip bone sits in relation to your femur.
AlloClae injections strategically fill in these natural dips to create a smoother, more continuous curve from your waist down to your thighs. Dr. Movassaghi carefully injects the fat into the hip dip area, adding volume exactly where needed to balance your proportions. Unlike surgical procedures like the Brazilian Butt Lift, which requires extensive fat harvesting, or “non-surgical butt lifts” that use large amounts of dermal filler, AlloClae hip dip correction is performed as an in-office procedure with minimal downtime, and uses real fat rather than a synthetic filler formula.
Bra Groove Correction
Chronic bra strap indentations, also known as shoulder grooves, are permanent depressions that develop on the shoulders from years of wearing bras that concentrate the weight of heavy breasts onto narrow straps. These grooves can be deep, painful, and aesthetically concerning, particularly for women who have undergone breast reduction surgery but still have residual indentations from years of strain.
To address this, Dr. Movassaghi can strategically inject AlloClae into the grooved areas to restore natural shoulder contours and smooth out the depressions. Unlike temporary solutions such as massage or topical treatments, AlloClae provides lasting bra groove correction that integrates with your existing tissue. This treatment is particularly valuable for patients who want to address shoulder grooves without undergoing more invasive procedures, offering a way to reclaim smooth, natural-looking shoulders and renewed confidence in sleeveless and strapless clothing.
“Dr Movassaghi and his team are the best of the best. Their office is run like a well-oiled machine – complete professionalism, but also warmth from everyone there, from Doctor M to Jana, Mari, Theresa, and the entire staff. Doctor M is exactly who I’d trust with any cosmetic surgery procedure – kind yet incredibly confident and values perfection.”
AlloClae Injections: What to Expect
During your consultation with Dr. Movassaghi, you’ll discuss your aesthetic goals and determine if AlloClae is right for you. The treatment itself is performed in-office by Dr. Movassaghi in his award-winning Eugene plastic surgery center. Here is what you can expect the treatment to be like:
- Preparation: Treatment areas are cleansed and local anesthesia is applied
- Injection: AlloClae is precisely injected using fine cannulas for optimal contouring
- Immediate results: You’ll see enhancement right away, with continued improvement over weeks
- Recovery: Minimal downtime with most patients returning to work the same day
Most sessions take 30-60 minutes depending on the areas treated.
AlloClae vs. Traditional Fat Transfer
While both are effective body contouring options, here’s how AlloClae injectable fat transfer compares to surgical fat grafting:
| Feature | AlloClae | Fat Transfer |
| Surgery Required | No | Yes |
| Anesthesia | Local only | General anesthesia |
| Downtime | Minimal | Several weeks |
| Donor site | Not needed | Requires fat harvesting |
| Results | 12-18+ months | Permanent (if fat survives) |
Recovery and Results
Recovery will vary slightly for each individual, but here is a general timeline of the typical recovery process you can expect after AlloClae fat injections:
Day 1-3: Most patients experience only minor discomfort similar to a bruise, with any swelling typically manageable with over-the-counter pain medication and cold compresses.
Week 1: The initial swelling subsides significantly, and most patients can return to their normal daily activities and work without restrictions.
Week 2-4: As the remaining swelling disappears, you’ll begin to see the true contour improvements and enhanced volume that AlloClae provides.
3+ months: The regenerative properties of AlloClae stimulate your body’s natural collagen production, leading to ongoing improvements in skin texture and firmness around the treated areas.
Results can last 12-18 months or longer, with many patients enjoying benefits for years. The longevity of results often depends on factors such as your metabolism, lifestyle, and the specific areas treated, with some patients choosing touch-up treatments to maintain their desired appearance.
“Dr. Movassaghi was kind and honest. He didn’t try to sell me on extraneous treatments or procedures, he gave me realistic expectations, and he produced wonderful results. I did a lot of research on different surgeries and surgeons, and I’m so grateful I chose this office.”
