A great option for creating a contoured form is high-definition liposuction. I have seen a huge rise in high-definition liposuction, which creates a sculpted shape and can be absolutely fabulous in creating incredibly beautiful, sophisticated, and athletic appearances to the abdomen and to all sorts of other body parts. However, with weight changes, also with a change in skin appearance, sometimes the high-definition liposuction doesn’t come out as we had hoped or wished, and people can have some uneven lines, maybe an unnatural appearance to their abdomen.
AlloClae is an off-the-shelf filler that is made from processed fat and is available shelf-ready for patients to refine their liposuction contours. It’s a long-lasting filler, similar to fat transfer, but without the need for further liposuction.
AlloClae can soften and lower the lines from previous high-definition lipocontouring, and it really can soften the definition. It can further enhance some of the muscle tone from high-definition lipo. The real beauty of this is that it can be done as an in-office procedure.
Usually, the area can be numbed under local anesthesia. Any adhesions or scar tissue can be released, and then the AlloClae can be injected under local anesthesia. The entire procedure takes about an hour. Patients can go home the same day and back to work the next day.
I think you’re gonna see many more of these treatments. We’ve seen a huge rise and high-definition liposuction as we’ve gone from just removing fat to sculpting and shaping. However, occasionally, it doesn’t go as either the surgeon or the patient would like, or they just want to further enhance this. This is where AlloClae has really simplified some of the post-op treatments, making sure that patients can achieve their desired results.
Obviously, there’s a time period after your liposuction where you want to let some of the healing take place. That way, you can really see the final results, and then you will be able to use AlloClae to either soften some of the etching lines or further enhance muscle definition and get to the results that you were seeking from the very beginning.
AlloClae is a great option to treat liposuction deformities, including those from high-definition liposuction, where typically etching and some further enhancement of your muscle architecture is done. If it’s overdone or if you just have some lines that maybe look unnatural, you can soften these with AlloClae in an in-office procedure done by Dr. Johnny Franco, a board-certified plastic surgeon at Austin Plastic Surgeon.
