alloClae is a donor-derived structural adipose filler that adds natural, lasting volume to the body, offering a viable option for patients who want contouring results but don't have enough donor fat for traditional fat grafting.

Expanding What's Possible for Thin Patients at Worcester Plastic Surgery

Dr. Joanna H. Ng-Glazier, MD, FACS, is a double board-certified plastic surgeon who specializes in body contouring procedures tailored to each patient's anatomy. For patients who are naturally lean and don't have sufficient donor fat for procedures like Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) or fat grafting, traditional options have historically been limited. Dr. Ng-Glazier now offers alloClae in Worcester as a solution that expands what's achievable, without requiring the patient to have available donor fat.

What Is alloClae?

alloClae is the first structural adipose tissue developed specifically for aesthetic body procedures. Unlike traditional fillers, alloClae is composed of intact adipocytes (fat cells) and extracellular matrix (ECM), the same biological architecture found in natural body fat.

It retains the 3D honeycomb structure of adipose tissue, which provides immediate volume at the application site. The ECM contains naturally occurring proteins and collagens that support lasting results. The tissue is terminally sterilized to a high safety standard and processed to minimize immune response.

FAQ: alloClae Body Contouring

Is alloClae the same as a filler injection?

alloClae is not a traditional filler; it is donor-derived structural adipose tissue composed of intact fat cells and extracellular matrix, which gives it a biological composition closer to natural body fat. Unlike synthetic fillers, it is designed to provide volume through a tissue-like structure rather than a gel or fluid.

Where does the donor tissue come from?

alloClae is derived from human donor adipose tissue that has been processed, sterilized, and tested to meet strict safety standards. All donor tissue used in FDA-regulated allograft procedures in the United States is subject to federal screening and testing requirements.

How long do alloClae results last?

Because alloClae contains extracellular matrix with naturally occurring proteins and collagens, it is designed to support results that persist beyond the initial volume placement. Individual longevity varies, and Dr. Ng-Glazier will give you a realistic picture of what to expect based on your treatment area and goals.

Can alloClae be combined with my own fat if I have some available?

In some cases, alloClae can complement a fat grafting procedure for patients who have limited but not entirely absent donor fat. Dr. Ng-Glazier will assess your anatomy and determine whether a combined approach makes sense for your specific situation.

Is alloClae safe for people with allergies?

alloClae should not be used in patients with severe allergen sensitivities, a history of anaphylaxis, or active infection. During your consultation, Dr. Ng-Glazier will review your full medical history to confirm whether alloClae is appropriate for you.

What areas of the body can alloClae treat?

alloClae is intended for subcutaneous application in areas of the body where adipose tissue naturally exists, such as the buttocks, hips, and other contouring sites. The specific treatment areas best suited to alloClae will be determined based on your anatomy and aesthetic goals.

What is the difference between alloClae and a traditional BBL?

A traditional Brazilian Butt Lift uses fat harvested from your own body through liposuction, then transfers it to the buttocks. alloClae provides an alternative for patients who do not have sufficient donor fat, using processed adipose tissue instead of autologous transfer.

Does alloClae require multiple treatment sessions?

A single session is typically used to achieve the desired volume, though the number of sessions depends on the treatment area and the amount of correction needed. Dr. Ng-Glazier will outline a clear treatment plan during your consultation so you know exactly what to expect.
