AlloClae Is the Trendy Injectable Made From Cadaver Fat
“AlloClae is a donor-derived human adipose tissue product. In very simple terms, it is processed human adipose tissue that can be used to restore or augment soft-tissue volume without requiring the patient to undergo liposuction to harvest their own fat,” says Melissa Doft, a plastic surgeon in New York. “The material contains non-viable adipose tissue and extracellular matrix, so it provides a structural scaffold, rather than functioning as a transplantation of living fat cells.” Doft says that distinction from traditional fat transfer is interesting from an aesthetic standpoint: “We can use it for areas where we want to restore or refine soft-tissue contour—such as localized contour irregularities, hip dips, certain breast contour deficiencies or asymmetries, and selected areas of volume loss.”
