alloClae™ adds natural breast volume without implants, without liposuction, and without general anesthesia.

How alloClae™ Works
alloClae™ behaves like your own fat at the application site.
- Real fat tissue with its structure preserved. alloClae™ retains the natural 3D honeycomb structure of fat: intact fat-cell membranes surrounded by the extracellular matrix (ECM), a natural framework of collagen, growth factors, and structural proteins. Because that structure is preserved, alloClae™ feels and behaves like your own fat when injected, producing immediate, soft volume rather than the feel of a foreign body or filler.
- Sterilized and safe. alloClae™ is purified and terminally sterilized so it is safe to place. The processing reduces residual DNA to levels well below the immunogenicity threshold, which lowers the risk of inflammatory or immune response. Free oil content is reduced to less than 2%, which may lower the risk of oil cyst formation compared with traditional fat grafting.
- Once incorporated, it acts like your own fat. Initial volume is visible immediately. Over the months that follow, your body uses the alloClae™ as a scaffold that integrates and becomes a natural part of your breast. Results are long-lasting, and once incorporated and the tissue acts like your own natural fat.

Non Surgical Breast Augmentation
In this video, Dr. Laura Roider discusses how alloClae™ is providing a new option for patients seeking subtle breast enhancement without implants, liposuction, or traditional surgery.
alloClae™ is a regenerative adipose matrix that acts as a scaffold for your body's natural tissue restoration process. Over time, your body replaces the matrix with its own tissue, helping improve shape, contour, and upper pole fullness.
Are You a Candidate?
The right alloClae™ candidate is someone whose anatomy, goals, and willingness to accept a modest volume change per session align with what this procedure can deliver. Candidacy is determined in consultation, where Dr. Roider or Dr. Slenkovich examines your tissue quality, talks through what you want to achieve, and assesses whether alloClae™ will get you there. If a different approach serves you better, we will say so.
You may be a good candidate if you:
- Are a healthy adult in good overall condition
- Want breast volume enhancement but want to avoid implants
- Are seeking a natural-looking result
- Have adequate tissue quality to support the procedure
- Have insufficient donor fat for traditional fat grafting
- Cannot afford the recovery time of liposuction
- Are not suitable for general anesthesia
- Are open to staged treatment sessions if larger cumulative volume is the goal
- Are open to combining alloClae™ with other procedures, including traditional fat grafting, breast lift, or revision surgery, to customize your results
While alloClae™ offers incredible regenerative benefits, it may not be the right fit if you are seeking a dramatic size change in a single session, prefer the predictable outcome of implants, or possess structural skin laxity and tissue factors that make this approach unsuitable. Additionally, it is not recommended for individuals with contraindications identified during evaluation, such as active infections, severe allergen sensitivities, or a history of anaphylaxis.

FAQs
Is alloClae™ the same as a fat transfer?
No. Traditional fat transfer uses your own fat, harvested via liposuction from another part of your body. alloClae™ is donor-derived fat tissue that has been sterilized while preserving the natural 3D honeycomb structure of fat. Because that structure is intact, alloClae™ performs at the application site much like your own fat would. The source and the processing are different from autologous fat grafting, but the underlying tissue structure is similar. alloClae™ does not require liposuction, and the two approaches can also be combined when appropriate.
How much breast volume can alloClae™ add?
alloClae™ is suited for modest, natural-looking volume enhancement per session, generally a subtle to moderate improvement rather than a dramatic single-session size change. We typically start with approximately 50 cc per breast per session. For patients seeking larger cumulative volume, alloClae™ can be staged across multiple sessions spaced approximately 12 weeks apart, and it can also be combined with traditional fat grafting in the same session to help achieve a larger result.
How long do alloClae™ results last?
Results are long-lasting. Once alloClae™ is incorporated into the body, the placed tissue acts like your own natural fat at that site. Early volume is visible at the time of treatment, with gradual integration continuing over the months that follow. Because the integrated tissue acts like your own fat, significant weight changes can affect your results the same way natural weight fluctuations would change any soft tissue area of the body.
Can alloClae™ be used with implants or other breast procedures?
Yes, in select cases. alloClae™ can be used in conjunction with a breast lift, with traditional fat grafting when donor fat alone is insufficient, or placed over implants to camouflage edges and rippling in revision or thin-tissue cases. Whether any combination is appropriate depends on your anatomy and goals. We assess these cases individually.
Do I need general anesthesia for alloClae™ placement?
For most patients, no. alloClae™ placement is performed under local anesthesia with the patient awake and comfortable, which is one of the procedure's practical advantages for patients who want to avoid going under. Case complexity and patient preference may affect the anesthesia approach, which we discuss during your consultation.
Is alloClae™ the right choice if I am not sure about implants?
That depends on what you are hoping to achieve. alloClae™ is one of several options for breast enhancement (implants, Preservé, traditional fat grafting, or a combination), and the right one is determined by your anatomy and goals, not by process of elimination. The consultation is designed to clarify that. Patients who come in uncertain about implants often leave with a clearer picture of what is and is not possible across all the options available to them.
What are the risks of alloClae™?
alloClae™ has a defined safety profile. Like all procedures of this type, complications are possible, although not everyone experiences them. Potential complications include cyst or nodule formation, pain, infection, hematoma, anaphylaxis or other allergic or immune responses, and discoloration of the skin at the procedure site. alloClae™ may not be appropriate for patients with severe allergen sensitivities, a history of anaphylaxis, or active infection. We review your specific risk factors during consultation.
Is alloClae™ regulated by the FDA?
Yes. alloClae™ is a human tissue allograft regulated by the FDA under the framework that applies to processed human cells, tissues, and tissue-based products. This is a different regulatory pathway from synthetic implants or FDA-approved drugs, but it is a defined and active regulatory framework.
