A little added volume can make all the difference in how your contours come together. alloClae can restore fullness or enhance selected areas of the breasts and body without liposuction. At Schoemann Plastic Surgery in Encinitas, we take your natural proportions and the changes you’d like to see into account, helping you find an approach that fits your shape.
alloClae is a structural adipose matrix made from sterilized, donated human fat tissue. Also called a structural adipose filler, it contains non-living fat cells, lipids, connective tissue, and extracellular matrix, a framework containing collagen and other proteins. It is used for localized volume replacement in areas where fat naturally exists.
Injectable donor tissue; no fat harvesting
Targeted volume and contour refinement
Generally under an hour; extent varies
Minimal downtime for many patients; swelling and bruising are possible
Immediate volume; appearance changes as swelling settles
alloClae acts as a cushion and support under the skin. The way it is processed keeps the fat tissue’s structure, including the shape of the fat cells and the surrounding framework. When it’s placed where you need more fullness, it adds volume to that area.
This support is why you see an immediate change in shape after treatment. The results don’t rely on living donor cells growing or making new fat. How much is used and where it is placed will affect the results. Adding volume to a small dip can smooth it out, while larger areas may need a different approach.
alloClae injections can add subtle fullness to selected areas:
The aim is to create smoother, more balanced contours. This treatment adds volume but does not remove fat or extra skin. We offer different body contouring options, so an assessment will help find the best approach for you.
For the right patient, alloClae offers a way to refine selected contours without harvesting fat from another part of the body. Potential benefits include:
The benefits of this treatment depend on how well it matches your body’s needs. It’s a good idea to talk about what kind of improvement you can expect in the area you want to treat.
Traditional fat transfer breast augmentation uses your own fat, which is taken out with liposuction. alloClae comes already prepared, so you don’t need a separate procedure to collect fat. This can be helpful if you don’t have much fat to spare. Surgical fat transfer may also require general anesthesia and recovery at both the donor and treatment sites.
Some people call alloClae breast contouring a “non-surgical breast augmentation.” It’s meant for small, targeted changes. If you want a bigger change in breast size, breast augmentation surgery may be needed. Facial dermal fillers, including synthetic ones, are used for different reasons.
You might be a good candidate if you want a small increase in volume and are comfortable with using donor tissue. Your medical history, past procedures, skin quality, and your goals all help us decide if this is right for you. If you have an active infection, severe allergies, or a history of anaphylaxis, this treatment is not recommended. If you have a lot of loose skin or want a much larger change, another option may be better.
Preparation begins with a medical review:
An appointment generally involves:
How much is needed and where it is placed will affect how long your appointment takes and how you feel afterward. Before treatment, you’ll talk about ways to stay comfortable and get instructions for caring for the area. Be sure to ask how the plan might affect sitting, clothing, exercise, or other activities that put pressure on the treated area.
Immediately: Added volume is visible, with possible tenderness, bruising, and swelling. Early fullness can overstate the correction, so allow swelling to settle before judging symmetry or deciding that more volume is needed.
First few days: Many patients resume normal activities within 24–48 hours. Returning to desk work and returning to strenuous exercise are different milestones. Follow the provider’s activity and pressure restrictions for your treatment area.
Once swelling goes down, it’s easier to see your final shape. Follow-up visits let you and your provider review the results and talk about any concerns. How long the results last depends on your body, lifestyle, and where you had treatment. We can’t promise a set time for how long it will last.
The price of alloClae in San Diego depends on how much is needed, how many areas are treated, and how complex the correction is. Treating a small dip is different from treating a larger area, so the amount of tissue and time can vary. Ask for a detailed estimate that shows what’s included and how extra sessions would be priced.

The manufacturer markets alloClae as a human tissue product. Tissue regulation differs from FDA approval of a drug or device. Donor screening and tissue-processing requirements should not be described as proof that a specific cosmetic outcome is FDA-approved.
No. alloClae contains no viable cells, has no systemic effect, and provides structural support. Its volume comes from the tissue material placed beneath the skin, rather than the metabolic activity of living donor cells.
Possible complications include infection, cysts, nodules, hematoma, allergic reactions, and skin discoloration. Donor screening reduces, but cannot eliminate, disease-transmission risk.
alloClae adds volume but cannot remove excess skin or reposition the nipple. If breast sagging is your primary concern, a lift addresses a different structural problem. Your assessment should distinguish volume loss from changes that need surgical correction.
The extent of correction and your response determine if additional treatment is appropriate. Discuss the possible need for more than one session when reviewing your goals and budget, then reassess the result after swelling settles.
alloClae is being discussed here for breast and body contouring. Facial volume loss needs its own assessment and an appropriate product selection. Ask about facial dermal fillers if the cheeks, lips, or other facial areas are your concern.
