The Next Evolution Of Body Contouring Is At Northside Plastic Surgery
Northside Plastic Surgery built its practice around curating innovative aesthetic solutions with strict discernment. Dr. Shreyas Makwana and double board-certified surgeon Dr. Mike Majmundar meticulously evaluate every new option before adding it to a patient’s treatment plan. For patients who want subtle, natural-looking refinement without an implant or synthetic filler, alloClae™ gives Dr. Mak an additional tool to address breast asymmetry, contour irregularities, and buttock shape using tissue that behaves like the body’s own fat.
What Is AlloClae?
alloClae™ is a sterilized, donor-derived human adipose allograft designed for body contouring procedures. It provides cushioning and volume without depending on the metabolic activity of living tissue.
Processing adipose allograft before injection preserves the fat tissue's natural three-dimensional honeycomb structure and extracellular matrix (ECM), the network of proteins and collagen that supports the tissue. This means the graft can integrate similarly to the body's own fat once placed.
Benefits of alloClae™
- Terminally sterilized to a sterility assurance level of 10⁻⁶
- DNA content minimized to lower the risk of an immune reaction
- No living cells present, so the graft has no systemic effect
- No surgery, implants, or synthetic fillers involved
- Volume that looks and moves naturally, since the graft retains real adipose structure
- An in-office treatment with minimal downtime
- Flexibility to refine, restore, or add volume anywhere fat naturally exists in the body
alloClae™ for Breast Contouring
Patients considering alloClae™ for breast contouring typically want to:
- Improve symmetry
- Soften implant rippling or irregularities
- Refine their cleavage line
- Replace volume lost after pregnancy, weight change, or previous surgery
Because alloClae™ adds targeted volume without a synthetic implant, Dr. Mak can address these concerns individually rather than recommending a full augmentation or revision.
Buttock and Body Contouring with alloClae™
For buttock and lower-body concerns, alloClae™ can:
- Minimize the appearance of hip dips
- Smooth irregularities left by prior liposuction
- Refine natural curves without the surgical fat transfer that a Brazilian Butt Lift requires
The graft’s honeycomb structure provides immediate cushioning and shape at the treatment site.
Am I a Good Candidate for alloClae™?
Good candidates are adults in overall good health who want targeted, natural-looking volume without surgery, implants, or synthetic filler.
alloClae™ can be a useful option for thinner patients who don’t have enough donor fat for a traditional fat transfer, since the graft doesn’t require liposuction of the patient’s own tissue.
However, alloClae™ isn’t appropriate for patients with severe allergen sensitivities, a history of anaphylaxis, or an active infection. Dr. Mak or Dr. Majmundar will confirm candidacy during a consultation.

FAQs
What is alloClae™ made of?
alloClae™ is made from donated human adipose tissue processed into a graft containing non-living fat cells, extracellular matrix, lipids, and connective tissue. It does not contain synthetic material.
How is alloClae™ different from fillers, implants, or fat grafting?
alloClae™ adds volume using minimally processed, donor-derived fat tissue rather than a synthetic filler or implant. Unlike traditional fat grafting, it doesn’t require liposuction of fat from another area of your body.
Can alloClae™ correct breast implant rippling?
alloClae™ may help soften the appearance of implant rippling or irregularities by adding targeted volume around the affected area. Your surgeon will confirm whether it’s the right approach during your consultation.
Can alloClae™ minimize hip dips or liposuction irregularities?
Yes. alloClae™ can be placed to fill in hip dips or smooth contour irregularities left by prior liposuction, refining the area’s natural shape.
How long do alloClae™ results last?
Because alloClae™ contains real adipose tissue, results can be long-lasting. How long they last varies based on your body and lifestyle.
How much downtime should I plan for?
alloClae™ requires little downtime. Most patients return to normal activity within 24 to 48 hours of treatment.
Is alloClae™ safe?
The FDA regulates alloClae™ as a Human Cell and Tissue Product (HCT/P), a category that requires donor screening and testing for transmissible disease under 21 CFR Parts 1270 and 1271.
What are the risks of alloClae™?
As with any procedure involving injected or implanted material, possible complications include:
- Cystic or nodular formation
- Pain
- Infection
- Hematoma
- Allergic or immune reactions, including anaphylaxis
- Skin discoloration at the treatment site
alloClae™ should not be used on patients with severe allergen sensitivities, a history of anaphylaxis, or an active infection.
