AlloClae Injectable Fat Transfer

Non-surgical body contouring with fat injections

AlloClae™ structural adipose filler

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.

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:

  1. Preparation: Treatment areas are cleansed and local anesthesia is applied
  2. Injection: AlloClae is precisely injected using fine cannulas for optimal contouring
  3. Immediate results: You’ll see enhancement right away, with continued improvement over weeks
  4. 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:

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.

Frequently Asked Questions about AlloClae

The cost of AlloClae non-surgical fat transfer varies depending on the treatment areas, amount of product needed, and your specific goals. Costs typically range based on the volume required and complexity of the treatment plan. During your consultation with Dr. Movassaghi, you’ll receive detailed pricing information tailored to your specific plan. We also offer financing options that allow you to pay for your procedure in installments.

Most AlloClae treatments are completed in 30-60 minutes, depending on the number and size of areas being treated. The procedure is performed in our comfortable Eugene office setting with local anesthesia. This includes preparation time, the injection process, and brief post-treatment observation. The efficiency of AlloClae treatment makes it an ideal “lunch break” procedure for busy patients.

AlloClae may not be suitable for patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding, have active infections in the treatment area, have certain autoimmune conditions, or are taking blood-thinning medications. Patients with unrealistic expectations about results or those seeking dramatic size changes may be better candidates for surgical procedures. A consultation with Dr. Movassaghi will determine your individual candidacy.

Yes, AlloClae has an excellent safety profile. The donor adipose tissue undergoes extensive sterilization and processing to remove cellular debris and donor DNA, minimizing the risk of immune reactions or complications. AlloClae is FDA-cleared for cosmetic use and has been used safely in thousands of procedures. As with any injectable treatment, minor side effects such as temporary swelling, bruising, or tenderness may occur, but serious complications are rare when performed by a qualified plastic surgeon like Dr. Movassaghi.

Unlike synthetic fillers such as Restylane and Juvéderm, which are formulated with hyaluronic acid, AlloClae uses real human adipose tissue that integrates permanently with your body. Traditional fillers are eventually absorbed and require regular touch-ups every 6-18 months, while AlloClae provides longer-lasting results of 12-18+ months. AlloClae also stimulates natural collagen production for ongoing improvement, whereas most synthetic fillers simply add temporary volume.

Traditional fat transfer requires liposuction to harvest fat from your own body, creating additional surgical sites, anesthesia requirements, and recovery time. AlloClae eliminates this need entirely by using processed donor fat tissue. This makes the procedure faster, less invasive, and suitable for patients who lack sufficient body fat for harvesting or prefer to avoid liposuction altogether.

Most patients achieve their desired results with a single AlloClae treatment session. However, depending on your goals and the areas being treated, some patients may benefit from a second session 3-6 months later to optimize results. Dr. Movassaghi will discuss your treatment plan during your consultation based on your specific needs and aesthetic goals.

The procedure is performed with local anesthesia to minimize any discomfort. Most patients report only mild pressure or slight discomfort during injection, similar to other injectable treatments. Post-treatment soreness is typically minimal and manageable with over-the-counter pain medication.

Results typically last 12-18 months or longer, with many enjoying benefits for several years. The longevity depends on factors such as your metabolism, lifestyle, and the specific treatment area. Unlike synthetic fillers that gradually dissolve, AlloClae integrates with your tissue for more permanent enhancement.

AlloClae results are naturally long-lasting and require minimal maintenance. To optimize and extend your results, it’s best to maintain a stable weight, stay well-hydrated, follow a healthy lifestyle with good nutrition, and protect your skin from excessive sun exposure. While AlloClae integrates permanently with your tissue, some patients choose touch-up treatments to maintain their desired appearance. Dr. Movassaghi will provide personalized aftercare instructions to help you achieve the best possible long-term results.

Yes, AlloClae can often be combined with other treatments such as Aveli for cellulite reduction, other body contouring procedures, or alongside surgical procedures to further enhance results. Dr. Movassaghi will discuss the best treatment combination during your consultation to achieve your desired results.
