alloClae™ Fat Transfer in Philadelphia
At Bucky Plastic Surgery, patients who want to enhance their appearance without undergoing liposuction or surgery can now benefit from alloClae™, a groundbreaking injectable fat transfer option. This FDA-cleared structural adipose filler provides the same kind of volumizing results as traditional fat grafting, but without the need to harvest your own fat.
As one of only a few practices in the country selected as an Early Clinic Experience Site, Dr. Louis P. Bucky brings Philadelphia patients exclusive access to this innovative technology. With alloClae, areas such as the breasts, buttocks, and hips can be restored with natural-looking results and minimal downtime.
What Is alloClae?
alloClae is the first structural adipose tissue filler designed specifically for body contouring. This injectable treatment is created from carefully processed donor-derived fat cells combined with an extracellular matrix (ECM)—a naturally occurring material that supports collagen growth and tissue integration.
By using this advanced formulation instead of a patient’s own fat, alloClae eliminates the need for surgical fat transfer procedures and reduces the risks, downtime, and recovery associated with liposuction and donor-site healing.
Benefits of alloClae
- Adds volume and smooths contours without surgery
- No donor-site fat harvesting required
- Minimally invasive; performed with local anesthesia
- FDA-cleared for use in body contouring
- Promotes collagen production for enhanced skin quality
- Provides immediate improvement with long-lasting outcomes
- Suitable for patients who lack enough excess fat for traditional fat grafting
How alloClae Works
alloClae uses a patented process that purifies adipose tissue and preserves its extracellular matrix, creating a material that supports cell viability and volume retention. When injected, the filler integrates seamlessly into the surrounding tissue, enhancing body curves while supporting natural regenerative processes.
Because the fat used is donor-derived and sterilized, there is no need for liposuction or incisions. This makes the treatment an excellent alternative to traditional fat injections or synthetic fillers.
alloClae Treatment Areas
alloClae can be used to address volume loss, signs of aging, or aesthetic enhancement in multiple areas, including:
- Breasts – Achieve natural-looking breast augmentation without implants
- Buttocks – Create fullness and shape as a minimally invasive option to BBL
- Hands – Reduce visible tendons and veins for a more youthful look
- Hip Dips – Smooth indentations and create balanced contours
Preparing for alloClae Treatment
Before treatment, patients will meet with Dr. Bucky for a thorough evaluation. During this consultation, he will:
- Discuss your cosmetic goals and review your medical history
- Identify target areas for volume restoration or enhancement
- Explain expected results and realistic expectations
- Address any allergies or concerns about injectable materials
- Outline your personalized treatment plan and aftercare steps
Because the procedure typically involves only local anesthesia, preparation is minimal and patients can arrive ready for treatment without extensive pre-op instructions.
The alloClae Procedure Experience
At Bucky Plastic Surgery, alloClae is performed as a straightforward in-office procedure:
- Local anesthesia is applied to the treatment area for comfort.
- Using a fine cannula, Dr. Bucky strategically injects alloClae into areas of body contour irregularities.
- Patients see an immediate enhancement in volume and shape.
- The procedure usually takes less than an hour, depending on the number of areas treated.
For patients combining alloClae with larger cosmetic surgery procedures, it can also be administered safely in the operating room.
Who Is a Candidate?
Ideal candidates are men and women seeking a non-surgical solution for volume restoration or enhancement who do not have enough body fat for a traditional fat transfer procedure. alloClae is especially appealing for those who wish to avoid general anesthesia, incisions, or donor-site recovery.
During consultation, Dr. Bucky will review your goals, discuss possible results, and ensure that alloClae is the right choice for your needs. Patients with a history of severe allergic reactions should share this with Dr. Bucky to determine safety.
What to Expect After alloClae
Recovery following alloClae is typically much easier than with traditional fat grafting. Patients may notice:
- Mild swelling or bruising at the injection sites, fading within a few days
- Immediate results, which continue to refine as the transferred fat integrates
- Improved skin quality over time due to collagen stimulation
- A quick return to most normal activities
Follow-up appointments are scheduled to monitor healing and determine if additional sessions are needed to achieve your desired outcome.
