alloClae™ in Tampa, FL
Natural-Looking Volume Without Liposuction or Fat Harvesting
alloClae is a structural adipose filler designed to refine contours, replace lost volume, and add support in areas where fat naturally exists. Made from carefully processed donated human fat tissue, alloClae provides immediate volume without requiring liposuction, general anesthesia, or a traditional fat-transfer procedure.
At Tampa Surgical Arts, alloClae may be used to create subtle, targeted improvements throughout the body. It is especially exciting for patients interested in a non-surgical Brazilian butt lift, hip dip correction, or buttock enhancement but who do not have enough body fat for traditional fat transfer. It may also be used for select breast, facial, and hand concerns. If you want to enhance your curves or restore volume without surgery, call Tampa Surgical Arts at (813) 836-7202 to schedule your alloClae consultation in Tampa.
What Is alloClae?
alloClae is a ready-to-use structural adipose filler made from donated human fat tissue. It contains non-living fat cells, extracellular matrix, lipids, and connective tissues.
The product is processed to preserve the natural three-dimensional structure of fat tissue. This honeycomb-like framework gives alloClae the ability to provide immediate cushioning, support, and volume after it is placed beneath the skin.
Unlike traditional fat transfer, alloClae does not require fat to be removed from another area of your body. There is no liposuction, donor-site recovery, or need to have a certain amount of unwanted fat before treatment. This can make alloClae an option for lean patients and those seeking a more focused, minimally invasive enhancement.
alloClae is regulated as a Human Cell and Tissue Product, or HCT/P. It is not an FDA-approved drug or medical device. The donated tissue undergoes donor screening, testing, processing, and terminal sterilization according to the applicable requirements for human tissue products.
What Areas Can Be Treated With alloClae?
alloClae may be used in localized areas where fat naturally exists. Every treatment is customized according to your anatomy, existing volume, and desired level of enhancement.
Non-Surgical BBL
A non-surgical BBL with alloClae can add targeted volume to the buttocks without liposuction or fat harvesting. The treatment may improve shape, enhance projection, or create better balance between the waist, hips, and buttocks.
Because alloClae is placed strategically, it can be used to refine specific areas rather than simply adding volume everywhere. It is generally better suited to subtle or moderate enhancement than the significant volume possible with a surgical Brazilian butt lift.
Hip Dip Correction
Hip dips are natural indentations where the hips meet the upper thighs. Although they are completely normal, some patients feel that hip dips interrupt the smooth curve between the waist and buttocks.
alloClae can be placed within these localized areas to create a smoother transition and a more rounded silhouette. Treatment can also help improve asymmetry when one hip dip is more noticeable than the other.
Buttock Asymmetry and Contour Irregularities
Differences in buttock shape may develop naturally or appear after weight changes, previous liposuction, fat transfer, or other body-contouring procedures. alloClae may be used to soften minor depressions, improve localized irregularities, and create better balance between the two sides.
Breast Contour and Volume
In select patients, alloClae may be used to add modest breast volume, soften visible contour irregularities, improve symmetry, or restore fullness in a targeted area. It does not provide the same degree of enlargement as breast implants and is not intended to replace a breast lift when significant sagging is present.
Patients should continue recommended breast screenings and inform their breast-imaging provider about any previous injectable or surgical breast treatment.
Facial Volume Restoration
alloClae may be considered for certain areas of facial volume loss where natural fat typically exists. Potential applications include hollow cheeks, temples, or other carefully selected areas requiring soft tissue support.
Because alloClae is a structural adipose product, it is not interchangeable with every facial filler and may not be suitable for delicate areas such as the lips or tear troughs. Dr. Bedi will determine whether alloClae, a traditional dermal filler, or facial fat grafting is more appropriate for your concerns.
Aging Hands
Loss of fat in the backs of the hands can make tendons, veins, and bones appear more visible. alloClae may restore soft volume beneath the skin to help the hands appear smoother and less hollow.
Benefits of alloClae
Patients may choose alloClae because it provides targeted volume using a material derived from natural adipose tissue.
Potential benefits include:
- Immediate improvement in volume
- Non-surgical buttock enhancement
- Smoother hip dips
- Improved contour irregularities
- No liposuction or fat harvesting
- No donor-site recovery
- Minimal downtime
- Soft, natural-looking contours
- Customized treatment volumes
- An option for lean patients
- Treatment for multiple areas of the face and body
- In-office treatment without general anesthesia
Results vary, and not all of the initial volume may remain over time. Your consultation will help establish realistic expectations based on the treatment area and amount of alloClae used.
alloClae vs. a Traditional Brazilian Butt Lift
A traditional BBL uses liposuction to remove fat from areas such as the abdomen, waist, or back. The harvested fat is processed and transferred into the buttocks. This approach can remove unwanted fat while creating a more significant change in buttock shape and volume.
alloClae uses ready-to-place donated adipose tissue, so liposuction is not required. It may be a good option for patients who:
- Do not have enough donor fat for a BBL
- Want to avoid surgery or general anesthesia
- Only need a small, targeted correction
- Want to smooth hip dips or minor irregularities
- Prefer a shorter recovery
- Previously had a BBL and want a focused touch-up
Patients seeking a dramatic transformation may still be better candidates for a surgical BBL. In some cases, alloClae may complement previous body-contouring results. Dr. Bedi will explain which approach is most likely to achieve your goals.
Who Is a Candidate for alloClae?
alloClae may be appropriate if you:
- Want subtle or moderate buttock enhancement
- Have hip dips or localized contour irregularities
- Do not have enough fat for traditional fat transfer
- Want to avoid liposuction
- Prefer a minimally invasive treatment
- Have lost volume after aging or weight loss
- Want to improve breast asymmetry or localized hollowness
- Have facial or hand volume loss
- Are in good overall health
- Have realistic expectations
Treatment may not be appropriate during pregnancy or breastfeeding or for patients with certain infections, immune conditions, allergies, or uncontrolled medical concerns. A complete medical evaluation is required.
Your alloClae Consultation
Your alloClae treatment begins with a detailed consultation. Rather than focusing on volume alone, our team evaluates how the treatment area relates to your overall proportions.
During your visit, we will assess:
- Your natural anatomy
- Buttock shape and projection
- Hip and waist proportions
- Areas of asymmetry
- Skin quality
- Previous surgical or injectable treatments
- Available donor fat
- The amount of enhancement desired
We will then determine whether alloClae, traditional fat transfer, dermal filler, or another procedure is best suited to your goals.
What to Expect During alloClae Treatment
alloClae treatment is generally performed in the office. The product is available in prepackaged volumes and does not require fat harvesting or extensive preparation.
Treatment typically involves:
- Mapping the areas requiring volume or support
- Cleansing and preparing the treatment area
- Administering local anesthesia or another comfort measure
- Carefully placing alloClae beneath the skin
- Evaluating contour, symmetry, and volume
- Providing personalized aftercare instructions
The length of your appointment depends on the treatment area and the amount of product required. A small correction may be completed relatively quickly, while a non-surgical BBL may take longer.
Recovery and Downtime
Most patients experience less downtime than they would after liposuction and surgical fat transfer. Temporary side effects may include:
- Swelling
- Bruising
- Redness
- Tenderness
- Firmness
- Minor asymmetry during healing
Many patients return to normal activities within 24 to 48 hours, although strenuous exercise and pressure on the treated area may need to be limited temporarily. Recovery instructions vary depending on whether alloClae is placed in the buttocks, breasts, face, or hands.
How Long Do alloClae Results Last?
alloClae provides visible volume immediately after treatment, although early swelling can temporarily affect the appearance. The treated area should become softer and more refined as healing progresses.
Because alloClae is relatively new, long-term clinical data are still developing. The manufacturer describes the results as lasting, but the exact duration varies based on the treatment area, the amount used, your body, and lifestyle factors. Patients should not assume that all initial volume will be permanent. Additional treatment may be recommended to build or maintain the desired result.
Why Choose Tampa Surgical Arts for alloClae?

alloClae FAQs
Is alloClae the same as a traditional filler?
No. Traditional fillers are commonly made with hyaluronic acid, calcium hydroxylapatite, or poly-L-lactic acid. alloClae is made from donated human adipose tissue and is designed to provide structure, cushioning, and volume where fat naturally exists.
Can alloClae replace a Brazilian butt lift?
alloClae may be an alternative for patients seeking subtle or targeted enhancement without liposuction. A surgical BBL is generally more appropriate when substantial volume and comprehensive waist or body contouring are desired.
Is alloClae made from my own fat?
No. alloClae is made from donated human adipose tissue. The tissue is screened, tested, processed, and terminally sterilized. It does not contain viable cells.
Will alloClae results look natural?
alloClae is designed to recreate the soft volume and support normally provided by fat. Results depend on the amount used, placement technique, and your existing anatomy.
How much alloClae will I need?
The amount depends on the treatment area and the degree of correction desired. Filling a small irregularity requires less product than enhancing both buttocks or smoothing prominent hip dips.
Can alloClae be combined with other procedures?
Yes. Depending on your goals, alloClae may complement liposculpture, a previous BBL, breast surgery, or other aesthetic treatments. Dr. Bedi will determine whether combining procedures is appropriate.
